One of my best friends recommended this book to me awhile back, but I never fully finished reading it.

With the inauguration coming up next week, and the mess that will inevitably follow, it seems like a good time to actually finish this 🙃

I've seen so many posts about meta's updated policy on hateful conduct that I finally took a look for myself and... this is SO deeply concerning
Excerpt from Meta's Hateful Conduct policy reading "We do allow content arguing for gender-based limitations of military, law enforcement, and teaching jobs. We also allow the same content based on sexual orientation, when the content is based on religious beliefs." Excerpt from Meta's Hateful Conduct policy, in an item on social exclusion, reading "except for sex or gender-based exclusion from spaces commonly limited by sex or gender, such as restrooms, sports and sports leagues, health and support groups, and specific schools." Excerpt from Meta's Hateful Conduct policy that reads "We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like 'weird'."

Love this quote - but wish it didn't still feel so relatable
Painting of Maddalena Casulana in an orange dress, holding a lute. A quote on a rust-colored label reads "I want to show the world, as much as I can on thos profession of music, the vain error of men that they alone possess the gifts of intellect and artistry, and that such gifts are ever given to women."
