When I was a kid (aged about 9-10 years old), my sister (aged 5-6) and I had separate bedrooms. As an introvert who RELISHED privacy. My room was slightly bigger than hers due to the build of the house. My sister, an extrovert, constantly wanted my company and would demand to be let into my room. 1🧵

“And I said: ‘I fundamentally disagree.’”]

Good on you.

It's time to do an audit of the celebrities that you have parasocial relationships with. Especially if you have a habit of just calling them by their first name.
Remember - we don't know these people. They are playing characters of themselves. They are not our friends.

So, because I'm in the mood to celebrate victories, I just emailed every student in my mentor class to congratulate them on their #NCEA Level 1 Results today. Because they all deserved to have someone get in touch and say they did a great job.

A few more points, now that I've had some processing time about the Gaiman news (naming him for people who have the word muted): Let's talk about Amanda Palmer, who has been a part of my sphere of interest since lockdown.🧵

Could you please unfollow Gaiman? A lot of you follow him.

Well said.
Well, there's no response that'll make everyone happy. If I don't comment there will be "his silence is telling," and if I do respond there will be "way to make it about you," and if I acknowledge any grief, I'll get knocked for my "processing," etc. I accept a ration of crap is mine no matter what.
If you weren't a public figure there wouldn't be any outcry about what you do, and do not, choose to say or do about this situation, but I think your response here has been about as good as one could reasonably expect from someone who is, to all of us, beyond your work at least, a total stranger.

No I'm not going to read the piece about Gaiman. Yest I'm sure it is horrific, and the women involved went through hell, but it's enough for me to know it happened. I don't want the details. I'm already processing a lot. 🧵 1

That point where you reply to a post and realise that you feel like Sansa so delete is your friend.

Look I'm sure some of you have strong opinions but I'm often tired and am not in the mood to try and change/affect them by arguing. I'm more a 'drop bits of info and dash' poster.

Let’s see - I’m being sentenced for 34 felonies on Friday, I’ve nominated a bunch of unschooled idiots for my cabinet, and I owe E Jean $483 million. What can I distract the idiots with?

A Tennessee Board of Education has now banned Wicked, Beloved and 35 other books as "pornography."

Under a new TN law, any description of sexual activity is "harmful to minors." Another 150 books have already been flagged for removal.

Sex workers tried to warn you.

Rutherford County faces heated debate over book bans in school as 150 more titles are pulled from library shelves
The book bans were initiated by board member Caleb Tidwell, who flagged the titles as sexually explicit under school board policy and state obscenity laws.

Interesting that End Wokeness, a sock-puppet account controlled by Posobiec, targeted the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti, generating 6.2k+ replies. Why are so many pro-MAGA, libertarian, far-right accounts from the US suddenly so interested in what happens in NZ, & so vehemently/virulently dismissive of Māori?

Does anyone know who was sitting next to Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke when she began the Haka? Was it Takutai Moana Kemp?

"Luxon has said the Bill will be voted down by National MPs at a second reading, killing the prospects of ACT's proposed national referendum on the issue."

We will be watching Luxon. We will hold you to this.
