Gendered violence 

Some of the time this would happen in clubs, the woman was interested in me. But a lot of the time, she was looking for help brushing off an aggressive pest dude.

I'm genuinely disappointed in the number of men proudly announcing that they wouldn't help a woman that they saw get hit with a brick.

And men announcing that they would help their own woman, but wouldn't help a stranger, is bad too. These dudes still don't like women. They just like their possessions. 🤷🏿‍♂️

@Callalily Me too. But I really hated Geoffrey. It was worth reading the series. @jeridansky

A word about #ADL: As with most organizations, I don’t agree with every position they take. But when Musk accuses the most organized voice against #antisemitism in the U.S. of costing him ad revenue, he is leaning on a most #antisemitic dog whistle (that Jews control the media) and he most definitely knows it. 1/2

@beatnikprof Hey! That’s what we had last night. I’d tell you it was the first time, but we do it more than occasionally. @timo21

This makes me so angry. It’s unconscionable to let anyone go hungry. Followers of Christ, my ass. Please tax me and feed people.

Can you imagine the incessant press coverage, from all journalism outlets, were a Democratic Senator holding the U.S. military hostage to his own religious beliefs?

Musk, antisemitism 

'oh no, the Jews are telling people that I let nazis back on the platform, therefore they are responsible for the loss of value of the platform I let nazis back on.'

Nothing says you are not an anti-semite like suing the ADL for pointing out there’s rampant anti-semitism on your website and you’re doing nothing about it

Definitely a friend of the Jewish people. 🙄

@jeridansky Not too bad. Half way through season 2 of Game of Thrones I started the books cause I wanted to assure myself that Geoffrey would die. @Callalily

The "glass cliff" phenomenon refers to a situation where women (or members of other underrepresented groups) are more likely to be placed in leadership roles during times of crisis or downturn, when the chance of failure is highest.

If the leader succeeds, the success is often seen as expected or is downplayed, but if the leader fails, it can reinforce biases and stereotypes about the suitability of women or minorities in leadership positions.

Healthcare workers don’t decide whether to wear gloves or sterilize equipment based on how many people are hospitalized. They just do it because it protects patients, and every patient has the right to get healthcare without becoming more sick. It should be the same with masks.
