As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

Democratic party: we must spend billions to find out what the people want. The people: (loudly and clearly, through the very process the Democratic Party set up) We want this. Democratic party: we must spend billions to fight this.

I was in one of these recently and it was no big deal. I'm still a closed loop individual of individual sapience. There's definitely no humming of the collective mycelium spirit in the back of my mind. Don't worry about these

Are deadly fungal storms bad

We keep screaming from the rafters that we are being fired/not hired in numbers that can only be due to discrimination, but no one cares.

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

More than half of young adult women who grew up as Latter-day Saints have now left the church. Many are reacting against politics, purity culture and powerlessness.

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

When I was 8, for the crime of taking a popsicle without asking, my abusive parent ripped off my favorite stuffed animal’s arm in front of me and then hid it for a year. Of all the shit I went through, that was the thing that devastated me the most. This is so evil.

I…try to stay out of famous white people’s business, I really do. But y’all have let this man pass as an intellectual for far too long.

"I want to touch on what you said: .. the economic challenges facing young people impact men and women. One hundred percent true. But this is the bottom line, and I don’t think we like to admit this: Beyoncé could work at [KFC] and marry Jay-Z. The opposite is not true." I heard the record scratch.

It's been a while since I've done a people looking for work thread. If you're looking for work, put what you do and what you're looking for (full time, freelance etc) as a reply. Companies: get hiring people!

The rules of the game have changed. Because of you, Michigan. We cannot be bought. Onto November.

I have a theory that a big chunk of the socialist fear mongering by liberals is really about the fact that it’s perceived as a youth movement and godforbid the young exert political power

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

This too is something I wish fellow senior academics in humanistic and social science fields would take more seriously. We’re the ones best positioned to figure out what’s next, so doomerism starts to look like abdication of that responsibility.

Clément Canonne@ccanonne.github.io · last wk.

- stop the public hand-wringing and doomerism. Things are worrying and scary, yes, but this is (y)our job to navigate it (you/we have the stability and, allegedly, the experience). We can afford to think about it and try things out! If we project despair publicly, then how is that going to go? 3/
