Holy cheese on crackers there are a million ways to expand your reading / watching / listening rather than reinscribing the actual material harm done to trans people by this woman's wealth.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?"
Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

It's Banned Books Week. My fellow librarians, listen carefully: your book displays should be almost exclusively writers who are alive. Yes, I know classic literature is also being banned, but most of those authors are dead. They aren't suffering financially from bans and challenges.

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

Republicans are trying to destroy American institutions,
the rule of law, civil and voting rights, multiracial democracy, and they’re trying to remove black and brown immigrants from the country. Going to lunch with them to try to understand them isn’t going to fix that.

The best cure for ideological bias is find someone on the other side and go to lunch with them.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students”
Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc
