It was an honor to speak with @amandaknox abt the many ways munchausen by proxy can manifest. @GypsyRose_B’s brave story has made more ppl aware of the issue, but this abuse is often much more subtle, & that’s a message worth shouting to the media—we are people, not plot devices

using the interview for both my written article and a series of social media posts featuring the experts' responses. My deadline for this piece is the end of November, and I am hoping to see if you would be available for next week short, recorded video interview ? /3

their platforms. I am working on a year-end round-up piece that looks forward to 2025 and addresses what experts foresee as the misinformation trends and challenges in the year ahead. We would like to meet with select experts on a recorded video call for approx 10-15 min /2

@HFerdjani Hello, Hannane! My name is Kari Nixon, and I am fact-checker with Logically Facts, a fact checking organization accredited by the International Fact-Checking Network and have third-party contracts with Meta and Tik Tok to manage misinformation and disinformation on /1

@RepJackKimble @AoDespair Hello! I am a fact-checker with Logically Facts, and I am trying to confirm that your account is satire (it is currently being used for a lot of misinfo)--could you please DM me so I can get a commentary from you?

I absolutely love @AoDespair's work, especially The Wire and Treme, but I've never seen him do a satirical show and I think it shows. The key to funny parody or satire is in proper labeling and that's why I sponsored Poe's Law in the first place. It's an uphill fight with the power that big parody has, but together we can stop irresponsible and dangerous satire.

kochs postulates still make me so happy

Trying to decide if modern rap is more reliant on synecdoche or metonym…. 🤔 which would be easier if I could ever remember the difference between the two 😅

having an ex best friend is such a specifically heartbreaking experience because it was possibly longest relationship you were ever in. and then they......turn into an actual stranger? and at one point they called you 17x a day. like, i know your brother's birthday still.

The* not there sigh

I encourage you to read there follow up interview with me on munchausen by proxy in the wake of gypsy rose blanchard’s release from prison

Last year I interviewed a Munchausen by proxy survivor whose mother faked her illness and kept her on morphine through childhood and teenage years. @theipaper inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

Y’all this is the energy we need for the revolution

6 yo sassed me BAD tonight. Repeatedly in a 30 second period. Partner calmly asked her, “what part of that did you think was a good idea?” I SWEAR TO CHRIST ON THE CROSS that child looked him dead in the eye and said: “all of it.” I am fucking slain. 💀💀💀

@Raffi_RC We love Raffi 😭🥺

toxic masculinity is a menace. (no pun intended.) patriarchal dominance crap. antidote? the mature masculine. the mature masculine. self aware, emotionally available, respectful of women. in reverence with creation.

@kilojoule_ 😂

@HalfSickShadows Oh, I get it

Tbt that time when, instead of writing a final essay for grad school, I spent an entire day teaching my dog Desdemona to play dead at the sight of a handkerchief. Worth it.

@EmiGarside unheard of!

LOLOLOL I wonder if that scholar who just cited my work, and who is absolutely On Here remembers making me cry at my first ever academic conference

@EmiGarside OMG PLEASE read my academic nemesis thread I began today because I decided to

Reader, I did not leave. Instead, I decided to be kind to everyone, and not care about how important they were in terms of ranking. And I always am kindest to grad students. See? It really is that easy.

anyway, after he made me cry that day, the first day I learned how brutal the Academy can be, I decided if Academia was going to turn me into that, I would leave.
