Every International Women's Day, you will find that progressive publications publish their manditory IWD article about how we should focus more on women in the global south and yet we can't because upper class white women have their pink cupcakes and their CEO jobs exploiting the working woman by being customers and crying about Barbie not getting an Oscar nomination. I always read it and think....I have really good news for you, journalist writing this, about what you could do with the article you're being paid to write!!
#IWD#honestly where is the sport in these tired rhetorical touchstones-pink cupcakes or pussy hats- it's tired#and fyi everyone i saw talking about the barbie movie oscars thing was clearly not being fully serious/serious at all#i am not clear how wealthy women in particular are exploiting people by being customers-#IWD isn't a public holiday that the low paid still have to work#anyway look class disparity is really important to talk about and CEOs as a concept are not value neutral#but women being CEOs not just men is value neutral- as in it's not worse when women do it#i just get tired of the same point being made every year and them never doing the thing they could be doing- spotlight global south women#i really feel strongly that people only like doing this if they can make snarky tweetable points- for it's own sake it's nothing to them#if you read the guardian's IWD article i'm sure my examples seem very familiar!#I recommend 'feminism and nationalism in the third world' by kumari jayawardena#it covers the history of activism thought and gendered struggle of women in specific asian and middle eastern countries#it's a dense and very factual read- definitely not a snarky tweets book#though my edition has a foreword addressed to western feminists that's the only area it even slightly overlaps with that kind of book#oh yeah forgot to say it only goes up to the 1980s (was originally published in '86)#but it's sooo interesting to see the tension between nationalism and anticolonialism and women's liberation laid out#and how the different classes of women experienced it differently

This comment honestly sums up everyone wrong with Sky Sports F1 journalism at the moment. It remains that the incident DIDN'T happen in qualifying, and if it did the fact that Lando was on an outlap impeding a fast lap would have been taken a lot more seriously. Both drivers probably would have faced penalties if this had been qualifying, but Karun Chandhok and the rest of Sky Sports have to be sensationalist and get their short, digestible, tweetable, reactionary soundbite out.

A life so instagramable And thoughts so very tweetable
The landscape so picturesque And the pose in arabesque
Dancing a minuet Buying the statuette Sculpted out of sand and storms You follow the norm that conforms
The rats have followed the piper Hiding vipers inside his diaper Emotionally incontinent Paranormally transcendent His obverse flights of fancy Are dressed as cotton candy As a black rot blights the tree In a peristaltic glee Wherefrom the nazi hangs - Childhood raped by gangs
Here's to you and me, us And to all the zombies in frocks A glass of time on the rocks And a slice of charlotte russe

idk if i’m chronically online or if anyone else has seen the thing abt richard silken disliking the grief is love persevering quote (i don’t really care if he likes it or not, he can enjoy/not enjoy whatever the fuck he wants) but like it got me thinking about why so many people love that quote and why i personally like it.
you can look at it as an over-saturation of poetry on the internet and that quote being easily digestible and reblogable and tweetable and shit and blah blah blah nobody understands art and shit blah blah. but like. the thing is that love is at the center of everything we do. love lurks behind all our actions and our anger and our writing.
everything single thing i say is just asking someone to look at this rotten being of a person and asking them to love it.
we are just hiding love in every single one of our sentences, how was your day i love you did you listen to that song i showed you i love you get home safe i love you
when someone dies that love doesn’t stop, so grief is frustrating and messy and fuckung awful but, grief is all that love still there, but there is no where to put it.
if grief isn’t love then what is it, what are all those questions but not synonyms for i love you? where do u put it? we are not writers and poets and creatives, we are just trying to find places to put that love.
even the anger and the sadness, all it is hurt when that love is rejected, when that love is misplaced.
idk tho

I am aware it's only August, 2023, but I'm sharing this now in the hopes that I can get a bunch of people to do this.
In 2021, the American Library Association had a "Dear Banned Author Letter-Writing Campaign"
which ran from September 26-October 2, 2021 during banned books week.
With everything going on with censorship and book bans, I thought it might be nice to attempt to do the same thing this year.
Which, the ALA might, but they haven't updated that part of the website since 2021.
Banned book week this year is October 1-7, 2023.
The link above is to the page on the American Library Association website.
The page includes Banned Author contact information, ways to participate, printable postcards, tweetable postcards, information on e-postcards and more.
This link is to the ALA's list of the top 13 most challenged books of 2022.
#banned book week#banned books#libraries#censorship#america centric#i do encourage people around the world to contact their favorite author though

I didn't even know that he had a podcast, this is very disturbing.
The complaint stems from Senator Cruz and iHeart entering into a syndication deal, in which iHeart will fund production of Senator Cruz’s podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz (Verdict), as well as market the show across 850 stations, and provide it with a co-host.
Senate Rule 35 prohibits senators from accepting gifts from registered lobbyists, including gifts of service. HLOGA prohibits registered lobbyists from giving gifts to senators. Given that iHeart is a registered lobbyist that has spent over $3.5M in lobbying efforts in 2022, this syndication deal clearly violates Senate rules and HLOGA.
The public has a right to know whether their elected officials are acting impartially in performing their duties, or in their own financial interest. Allowing Senator Cruz to receive a gift potentially worth millions of dollars from iHeart would call into question Senator Cruz’s impartiality on legislation impacting iHeart’s interests.
This is not a hypothetical concern. iHeart has already lobbied on at least two bills before Senator Cruz’s committee, the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, this year: A bill that would allow the Federal Communications Commission to require an announcement if a foreign governmental entity paid for a broadcast, and bill to create a report about the feasibility of funding the Universal Service Fund.
Tweetable quote:The Ethics Committee has a responsibility to uphold the ethics rules and laws that exist to ensure that senators are acting in the public interest. Tweet this quote.
Unfortunately, the Ethics Committee seems to ignore blatant ethics violations. Part of the issue at hand is an ongoing lack of ethics enforcement in the Senate in general. Currently, ethics enforcement in the chamber relies on a system of self-policing, in which members are responsible for enforcing ethics rules against their own colleagues. As a result, the Senate Ethics Committee regularly fails to hold its members accountable.
This syndication deal is yet another instance of senators acting unethically, and we hope that, this time, the Ethics Committee will take action.

the fun thing about being officially off twitter (haven't opened it, other than to see links friends send me, in over a month) is that i still have tweetable thoughts. like, my brain automatically formats some of my thoughts, or things that have happened, into tweets. so i've started tweeting in real life. it's called telling my boyfriend things. it's pretty good i recommend it.
#mine#like i want to tell the world that i'm on my 30th book read this year#but actually tweeting it wouldn't have been as fun as just telling everyone i know that might care#more attention that way!

This is the tweetable from Tolstoy’s TED talk.
No battle—Tarútino, Borodinó, or Austerlitz—takes place as those who planned it anticipated. That is an essential condition.

Even though I've never watched Disney my childhood friend was obssessed and made me watch whatever excerpts there was places back then.
So that's why I find it insane how the movie challgbers felt like... Two different genres. Basically zendaya only had Disney range in her acting. That disney range damn😂😂😂 also they could have at least helped her condition herself to look a bit more the part, since she is skinny enough just a bit more muscle would have made a huge difference. I said it already but maybe the White Boys line would have been different if she could actually act seriously but talentlessness hits differently doesn't it. Gives u good tweetable lines. Goofy ass motherfucker this girl

Oui alors c'est-à-dire que l'on me demande un avis sur le réglement climatique !
Donc je dis que 4 canicules par an de 60°c à l'UGC d'Issy-les-Moulineaux, à l'ombre, dans un brise-glace, sur un iceberg avec une petite brise de 300 km/h, c'est formellement tweetable !

Who Am I? Read Task
Hello all, I was tasked with finding tweetable quotes from the readings I am doing for my EDU 522 course. I am going to post them down below:
"Autism is still widely regarded as a disorder but this view has been challenged in recent years by proponents of the neurodiversity model, which holds that autism and other neurocognitive variants are simply part of the natural spectrum of human biodiversity." https://stimpunks.org/glossary/autism/
"Autism produces distinctive, atypical ways of thinking, moving, interaction, and sensory and cognitive processing." https://stimpunks.org/glossary/autism/
"Autism is a genetically based human neurological variant...autism is a developmental phenomenon." https://stimpunks.org/glossary/autism/

If elon musk was really a genius he should've immediately contacted disney for a partnership and started making Toot Sweets: The Eatable, Tweetable Treat.
44 billion, easy.

i can’t stop thinking about how genocide has been live-tweetable for Actual Months, a guy self-immolated, and we’ve still not *ss*ssinated like at least 70 people.
