Weird how that happens to women like Borsook and Sarah Wynn-Williams who have the cojones to challenge power, speak out and alert the masses.

The Senate has to act. We the People cannot and will not tolerate the blatant dismantling and disregard for our country and laws. Iβm disgusted by the constant Hatch Act violations. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...
Meanwhile, in #SouthCarolina we are dealing with brain-eating amoeba, radioactive wasps and the writer of Project2025 making a bid for the Senate.
Just submitted a multimedia project that pushed every ethical muscle Iβve got and suddenly, Iβm 2 modules away from completing my MA in Media, Ethics, and Social Change.
Itβs wild and humbling to realize Iβm almost there.
Thankfull. Tired. Lit up.
Just got branded as βGoddess of One Source of Truthβ at work. #Commslife
If everyone is focused on the riots, no is thinking about the voting anomalies and Epstein case #politicaltheatre

So happy to see this! I love me some Nicole Curtis! Sheβs badass!
This sounds incredible for all my fellow literary Carolinians: Over 250 volunteers will join together to sell 50,000 books, across 40 genres, to fund programs at the Charleston County Public Library systemβs 18 branches and support literacy in the Lowcountry

Just read a research paper that found that framing issues in American society as civil rights (related) will likely result in a backlash. What a world we are living in now.
Saw someone comment about how violent and profane Italian brain rot is for children and all I could think is: Oh, you donβt actually check what your kids watch or watch with your kids. π€―πβοΈπ©°
Weβre not far off.

Iβm surprised it hasnβt already. We saw this coming a decade ago. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
Just read this, found it interesting that boys are more prone to hardship (wonder if that has a lot to do with how we raise boys), & why weβre still pushing academic studies instead of play-based early education if itβs been proven to be more effective www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/u...
So over it. I can tell you most CEOs also think itβs cringe but feel obligated. We all knew when it got acquired it was going to go this way.
Do you have data to support this claim?
Iβm recommending it to my 8-yr-old graphic novel reader on our next book shopping spree
Maybe another time.
Is it? Didnβt they get rid of fact checkers, roll back content moderation and put onus on its users? Itβs no surprise scams are surging.
I have mixed feelings. Data guides smarter choices, itβs not about vanity social proof and flex.
I tried reading this and couldnβt get past the hubristic, boastful tone. I disappointedly dropped it after a few pages.
I was okay with just having had that soundtrack in my life. I remember watching the movie with my sister in the theater!
not the onion
Itβs βcrabs-in-bucketβ behavior. Theyβre going down fast and says more about them than anyone they try to smear on their way out. Reeks of desperation!
Whatβs it like losing 8 close relatives in the span of a few years? I wrote about my experience www.valeriemevans.com/history/eigh...
Almost half a century ago, I was lucky enough to go to a public school in Harlem with a classroom full of Apple PCs where I played video games before that was a thing. My fave was this math one, which was basically a haunted house escape room. I wish my son could play it. #1980s #retrovideogames
That will surely end well.
Resist the regime.
Reading books is resistance.
Buying books is resistance.
Sharing books is resistance.
Celebrating books is resistance.
Resist this regime.
