OUT NOW: That Summer's End by Lee Seong-bok, author of international poetry bestseller Indeterminate Inflorescence, in my translation from Knopf 💙 Special thanks to Namjoon of BTS and to Army for enabling us in bringing this book into translation! 🙇🏻‍♂️✨ #그여름의끝 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/776178...

If Clarkson thinks people should write to say thank you for benefits I think the rich should also write to apologise for using tax avoidance to a specific Dr Nurse Teacher or Care worker explaining what they will do with the money and why they don’t care about a healthy well funded country.

3,500 billionaires globally 150 only are women self-made billionaires (out of 480) And yet a poster billionaire is a female singer Who is worth $2billion while top ten are men worth $150 to 735 billion That's some crazy misogyny Women can open a bank account without a man in the US since 1974

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

This gets more and more dodgy as the article goes. Not sure why the author didn't investigate both thesis, are we supposed to just trust Telegraph. maybe it's her choice to decline but no news mentions talking to allegedly plagiarised Dr Paula Zwozdiak-Myers www.theguardian.com/education/ng...

Like look at the language that lady in IG was using. Had a desperate tinge of relatives calling you because you refuse to go for Xmas dinner and listen again to your racist/homophobic/round bad egg relative for another year. "You're breaking up the family", "they are trying to be better!"
