If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

while the shutdown is over, folks are still struggling to put food on the table and food banks are hard pressed to meet that demand. thanks to everyone (mostly strangers!) who has helped this get fundraiser to $2345 so far. 💞
#FoodBankChallenge

Can we get to $5000 to start? With SNAP running out in Nov if the shutdown continues, more folks will be turning to food banks - which are already struggling since the administration cut $500 MILLION in deliveries back in the spring.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

this statement is a work of art. I am in awe. and I love these girls.

So much to love about this story about grief, unlearning unhelpful coping mechanisms we've inherited, possibilities that arise from intergenerational/community/care spaces...

Thank you for this, @trungles.com 💕 - and for your author's note at the end on your writing process/lessons learned!

With our mayor getting reelected, and showing he thinks MPD working with ICE is just fine, I’m concerned for the safety and livelihood of many of our Latine small business owners and their families. Please consider visiting these locations around the metro!

Based on recommendations from you!

Hey Minneapolitans, go support our educators this afternoon.

They’d love to see you at a local picket.

As they push for a settlement to ensure safe and sustainable schools for our kids, a show of support will help them push things across the line.

Among other things, young people are students who are often having to do “critical triaging” around basic needs, parents trying to feed their kids, & human beings who need food for themselves. When you don’t have access to critical resources like SNAP, “it can have ripple effects even beyond food.”
It feels a bit weird to post right now in light of what has happened to @teenvogue.com and so much of the incredible team there. What sources shared here is important, & I’m grateful I got to work on this. I reported on how young people are being impacted by delays to SNAP: “It’s about survival.”

How did the "Don't Rank Frey" slate strategy fare in 2025?

Just like in 2021, a lot of voters didn't play along.

~40% of Davis' 20k voters and 64% of Hampton's 15k voters did not rank Fateh

1/4 of Davis voters and 2/5 of Hampton voters ranked Frey 2nd
