Cathy Simpson loyally served as CEO of the Niagara on the Lake Public Library for more than 12 years. This week she was fired. Her crime: writing about her dedication to intellectual freedom. 👇🏼🧵

This show is the embodiment of the kids in high school or college who despite not doing the reading, wind up being the ones who talk the most about it in class. They don't need to do the reading, they think, because their convictions trump all.

This is why anti-woke is a thing, right here.

I really don't understand why progressive types can't accept that people have different opinions for reasons other than "incorrect knowledge" I think the unwillingness to see that is at least partially fueling the backlash. Treating people like idiots does not help your cause.

All plans for the weekend have just been postponed so I can instead do nothing but read this biography I've been waiting for and am SO excited to dive into right now! Thank you @howardfishman for writing Connie's story.

Please someone do a moody biopic on Connie Converse, the 1950's NYC singer songwriter and probable lesbian who disappeared in 1974. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connie_Co…

@Brian_A_Hackel Arrests have indeed plummeted but crime is significantly up because people have stopped calling non-emergency and 911. I am a substance abuse counselor that has been doing street outreach for decades in Portland. Lawlessness now reigns. #Measure110 ruined our once beautiful city

Instead of stigmatizing language like “tax the rich,” use inclusive person-first language — “tax people experiencing elevated incomes.”

Two important facts T*RFs fail to grasp are that: a) No predator would go through the massive, nigh Herculean struggle of becoming trans in order to access women's spaces. b) All it takes to be trans is to say you are.

Last month, a woman approached me in the work break room to feel me out about my terfery. It's usually me leading the dance. This isn't my story, but I have had countless conversations like this. Try it. Chances are you walk among terfs.

Non-profits in Oregon spend too much time & money publicly congratulating themselves on how amazing they are and not enough on doing things that are actually helpful to their communities. The groups you rarely hear about are the ones truly making a difference.

The lady at the woman-friendly sex shop telling me I needed to "reframe my understanding of intercourse" because intercourse doesn't require penetration and I was so confused because yes it does, that's what the word means? Redefining all the words is destabilizing please stop.

Addiction is a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure. Happiness is a progressive expansion of the things that bring you pleasure. The former emerges passively. The latter takes work.

@thomaschattwill People say millennials are not industrious but the extent to which they’ve succeed in legalizing (and glorifying) their vices and criminalizing the vices of their parents is pretty extraordinary

Why do the media guidelines on suicide reporting never seem to apply to trans people? This article is deeply irresponsible and manipulative. Not sure I've ever read of a suicide that was this egregiously politicized. theguardian.com/us-news/2022/d….
