I hope this line of thinking catches on across the country. Cheers to Premier Kinew for standing up for queer kids when right now it looks electorally convient to do the opposite.

IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE. This is leadership. Thank you, @WabKinew, for showing us love and unity as a counterpoint to the hate and division of conservative politicians.

It is such a privilege to work in partnership with these amazing feminists! Inspired by the feminist leadership & action from @antaraganguli @UNGEI & @midatri @PlanGlobal & @itsfarrahm @edu_transformer's activism to push us all forward

“I call for an end to the war and I demand that the world provide humanitarian support to the children of the Gaza Strip.” Sumayya reminds me of myself at 11 years old, sharing my experience of living under Taliban’s terrorism for the world to know. Today, Sumayya is telling her story as an 11 year old girl from Gaza. I ask leaders to listen to her call.

@ThePhDPlace Finish the draft, say what you want to. Then identify repetition & sections less vitally important. Cut those. Then find superfluous references - cut multiple when 1 good one does the trick. Then simplify the language throughout. This will make the paper short AND better

Help me. I’m supposed to be writing a 7000 word paper and I’ve just hit 9000 words.

"[Most women's shelters] welcome trans women not because anyone forced them but because it's the feminist thing to do." Fantastic op-ed with a powerful call to all women to also do the feminist thing by opposing all forms of misogyny including against trans women.
