A lot of white people would watch a movie with all white cast and say “it’s a movie about people” and then watch a movie centered on POCs and say “it’s a movie about people of color” and I think this mindset shapes both a lot of criticism and studio business decisions too.

Our streets are too wide.
Our cars are too big.
Our safe mode networks are too underfunded and disconnected.
We have to turn off the hose on money and political favor pouring into expanding driver convenience and reclaim and redirect those resources to everything else.

Unfortunately there kinda is but the parts that have any power are woefully insufficient and easily broken.

There should be something akin to IRB before politicians can pass policies and laws.

I’m at Union Station, in DC, putting together a story when a bus suddenly pulls up & lets people off with nothing but bags in their hands. I asked if it was related to Governor Abbott & someone said “yep, Texas”. So, quick reminder, this is still going on: wusa9.com/amp/article/ne

I spoke w/ a landlord attorney in D.C. today who said they're getting out of the residential business, fed up with 's frequent fiddling w/ L&T laws.
Then I talked to a landlord who says he sold his entire residential portfolio in D.C. after years of hassles w/ DCHA.

My 12 year old is going to have a big baking week next week: Bread, dinner rolls, cinnamon buns. It's a good thing she has willing taste testers at home!
Got a kid age 11 or older who likes baking and has some free time next week? Have them join her!

Historically it is Black women and disabled women who have experienced the most significant loss of bodily autonomy by the state -- Black women via slavery, and disabled women via state-sanctioned sterilization. As folks organize, please amplify their voices when you can.

Please connect the dots, learn the lesson. First it was voting rights. Then abortion rights. Soon it will be LGBTQ rights using trans panic as the wedge. Soon too, the last vestiges of the welfare state. None of us are free until all of us are free.

26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of 0 school shootings in the UK. #Uvalde

insane how the only notable change since Sandy Hook is that kids are now formally trained to hide, barricade doors, fight, or run for their lives. that was the solution. to literally put the responsibility on them to figure it out and wish them luck.

I love that lets the commentary on research be both super accessible and timely. If you've talked about housing as the solution for homelessness, this may help push you to take the next step.

Banning abortion is class warfare. The rich will still have access to safe abortions. The poor will not.

If this ends up with HKS being forced to shut down that is absolutely a huge problem for young trans people in Norway and a scary development. It is not, however, true that Norway has now stopped hormonal treatments in general. We are not even close to that, at this point.
