This #MothersDay, I wanted to discuss Anne Boleyn's relationship with her mother. A lot of attention has been paid to the relationship between Anne and her daughter, but Anne was also very close with her mother. Let me take you through some of the evidence for their closeness (a 🧵)

We’re celebrating Women’s History on Royals, Rebels, and Romantics!

It’s time to think about leadership lessons from Shakespeare’s women!

We’re looking at Juliet and Beatrice for tips on setting boundaries, charting our own paths, and choosing to believe women.

This is absolutely correct. Yes, it’s been widely reported that even that $16bn figure is a shockingly incompetent overcount, misreading $8m as $8bn in one case - but a bigger figure would not in any case automatically represent a positive achievement

6. The policy does not just affect funding going forward. All existing NIH grants will have their indirect rates cut to 15% as of today, the date of issuance.

For a large university, this creates a sudden and catastrophic shortfall of hundreds of millions of dollars against already budgeted funds.

I think it's important to say that these are not "budget cuts" at NIH and NSF. If they want to cut the next budget, they should talk to Congress. This is withholding money that's already authorized.

Y’all, one of my classmates told me my proposed research topics were “gonna eat.” I had to ask if that was a compliment or a warning. 😂

FACT CHECK from the California Department of Water Resources:

“The military did not enter California. The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful.”

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.

Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Birthright citizenship is on the lips and minds of many, given yesterday’s “executive order.” Recommend Martha Jones’s book to those seeking to inform themselves about the context of this concept.

To add (tho no one asked me)...

Getting edited well is a privilege and a joy. A smart, sensitive, trained reader goes over my work w. great care with the singular goal of making it (and me) better.

I have always gone for the best editor available for my books & I'm deeply grateful to all of them.
I've always turned in clean, tight copy so my notes have always been pretty minimal. That said, if my editor came back and said "there are some problems, here they are" I would damn well listen, because the ego should be in a good final work, not initially turning in clean, tight copy.

Is there much back-and-forth with your editor once a book is done? Or is it pretty much "looks good, couple typos, let's print" at this point?
