@CatapultStory @TheMynch Ooh, how deliciously terrifying.

Across the country, around the world, mothers are vanishing from their homes. . . ——— Early finished copies of @themynch's THE FORBIDDEN TERRITORY OF A TERRIFYING WOMAN have landed in our office. Time to get excited. books.catapult.co/books/the-forb…

The leading cause of death among children today is gun violence. Before it's a mental health issue, it's a policy issue. We must prevent further gun violence by moving forward legislation that already exists. #gunviolenceprevention #StopGunViolence

Dear @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie New Yorkers need your leadership to #PassNYHealth in 2022. Our lives are on the line. We need your leadership to finally make healthcare a right for everyone in our state. p2a.co/twitterimage

@DOEChancellor I am a member of the MS 136 community. Here is a letter several of us wrote to you yesterday (which has been emailed to you):

@LookItsKara @DOEChancellor Absolutely agree as part of the MS 136 family too

The MS 136 principal must apologize for her email. This was a clear exercise of poor judgment & we will take appropriate follow-up action. We must teach complex current events without bringing our political activities or beliefs into the classroom.

#WhiteSupremacy continues when #WhiteFeminism looks to be dominated by someone else. We need to listen to the communal feminine deep within.

"Hope is a form of planning" @GloriaSteinem #WAWI conference on #patriarchy I couldn't agree more, no one can take away our hope and ability to vision for the future.

We are witnessing the reproduction of a narcissistic hyper-individualism in conflict with a communal ethic that does not yet know how to really care for others.

@islaisreading @melissafebos I love this one, so wet and full as the ocean, solitary but not really.

@melissafebos @alecialynn Why does self-pleasure make you want to vomit?!! I guess it's not very playful, or image specific, but it feels erotic to me and not gendered.

When politicians use faith as an excuse to pass and uphold laws that seize control of people’s bodies but not guarantee them healthcare, feed the poor, shelter the homeless, or welcome the stranger, you have to wonder if it’s really about faith at all.

@brainpicker So timely, as many finally begin to question life's meanings beyond comfort. And when growing discomfort reminds all of us that we never arrive at the answer.

11 months after his release from the concentration camps, Viktor Frankl gave a set of lectures on moving beyond optimism and pessimism to find life's deepest source of meaning. They were lost for decades, never before published in English – until now: brainpickings.org/2020/05/17/yes…

How would America be different if Debate was a standard part of our school age curriculum? You know, learning to articulate a stance with a coherent supporting argument, AND having to listen to the argument of another and respond in due process?
