Renee was one of my students years ago. I held her baby. She was kind and talented, a working class mom who put herself through school despite circumstances that would’ve crumpled the pathetic rich boy politicians who sadistically abetted her murder God damn them all

You can’t be a “party girl” at 13. You can’t consent to sex at 13. You’re not “down with it” at 13. This was rape. It’s always been rape. It will always be rape. I’m so tired of rape apologists trying to normalize pedophilia. These were children.
Quentin Tarantino defending Roman Polanski’s rape of a 13 year old: “She was down with it…I don’t believe that’s rape. I mean, not at 13. Not for these 13 year old party girls.”

Being out of the US and (pretty much) offline for a month and a half was… really really good.

I’m here for this.
I often think that I should just delete my account and step away from here, but then I’ll see a painting of capybaras being abducted by aliens and I decide to stick around for at least a little longer…

I spent a fair bit of time today thinking. This song, sung so often with ever changing lyrics, kept running through my head until finally I started to sing too. https://t.co/PdawQ1i3bu

Actually, it's worse than that. There *are* tons of ICE raids in Texas right now, and there are the same kinds of protests you're seeing in L.A. going on in Houston and San Antonio... but Trump is only threatening to use the National Guard in California. Not Texas.
Odd… I don’t see any ICE raids in Texas. 🤔 Undocumented Populations - California: 2,600,000 - Texas: 2,060,000

I was just informed Trump is deploying another 2,000 Guard troops to L.A. The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed — the rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders. This isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous

Currently in LA. Sunny, highs in the low 70s, people trying to get through their Monday. What else? Oh, yeah, the mayor and governor are threatened with arrest by Trump’s “czar”, and marines are deployed in the city. LA Times headline right now:

Can someone point me to a good explanation of what's going on with WordPress and whether, given that I don't host with WP Engine or https://t.co/AECYBZledE whether I need to care?

BTW, I've come back to Twitter because... well, frankly, I'm lonely and this mode of communication is the only kind of social media that's ever worked. Yeah, yeah... Next thing you know I'll be rationalizing buying a Tesla.

comrades! as we prepare for @MLAnews #MLA #MLA2024 #MLA24 - reminder to ALL but *especially* to moderators - if a respondent or audience member has veered from respectful engagement to berating to downright bullying, you can intervene & redirect the convo. You are empowered!💖
My MLA horror story cw: suicide is mentioned The content warning makes my story sound dramatic; it is not, not really. My horror story is about academic bullying. And I share because this week is MLA, & b/c you might see academic bullying and I ask you to stand up & intervene.
