Nearly SEVEN hours and counting in CBA negotiations and nobody has left the room 😳

Players present:
πŸ€ Breanna Stewart
πŸ€ Nneka Ogwumike
πŸ€ Bri Turner
πŸ€ Alysha Clark

League leadership and owners are there too. This is women’s history happening in real time. πŸ‘€ #WNBA

You know what's really fun? Not cozying up to white supremacists. Not betraying the trust of your customers.

Anyway, the boycott carries on.

I also enjoyed A Bluestocking’s Guide to Decadence by Jess Everlee, which is part of a series but can be read solo and digs in on some social/current issues in a Waite-like manner

I’ll second The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet. What about An Island Princess Starts a Scandal? Some favorites of mine are Proper English by KJ Charles (some light detective work included) and Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall. Plus Mrs Martin’s Incomparable Adventure

Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

Heads up #MediaLiteracy and #NewsLiteracy folks. If you only teach lateral reading, your students would miss this because their results would indicate NYT is a reliable source. Teach students to analyze legacy media outlets, too! 🍎 πŸ“šπŸ—ΊοΈ

If I had one quibble with this article, is that I wish it made a point of explaining why there are a miniscule, tiny fraction of basketball romances (in the NBA or WNBA, straight or queer characters) compared to the fucking tsunami of hockey romance. It's the racism.

Health care and social workers are already severely understaffed. Now, the administration is making the path to these advanced degrees even more unaffordable.

Submit a comment today. Tell the Dept. of Education: Nurses and social workers are professionals! act.afscme.org/letters/tell...

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Nows the time. Got a favorite show? Find a used copy of the complete series on DVD/Blu. Favorite album? You can still get cheap CDs on eBay and Discogs. Players are still affordable.

Billionaires spent the 2010s convincing people that it was gauche to actually own media. Cut the cord. Nows the time
