JUST SAYING
I was reading this interview from @annehelen.bsky.social on boys choirs, and the good they can do boys in terms of gender expression.
And this is true!
But I want to add something: The "magic" of the "boy soprano" has harmed adult femme singers.

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.
Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

the delicate neg in this People Mag headline is doing so much
"Agus went online and learned more about Epstein, including his 2008 conviction."
Truly all *anyone* had to do was Google the guy
American publishing regularly punishes women in their 50s by simply not interviewing them for new jobs in the way @saribotton.bsky.social describes here. So it’s great revenge that she launched Oldster magazine on her own, now with 70k subscribers.
I love that it's just like WRITE YOUR BOOK BITCH
the framing here is like an obituary of a grandpa on legacy.com I can't get over it
The AI takeaway from an interview I did with @amandalitman.bsky.social earlier this week re: her weekly Saturday dinners
Starting Katabasis as soon as I finish tonight! (We tape Monday so wish me luck)

i'm finishing R.F. Kuang's BABEL
This episode is so good & also has a great discussion of how trans people choose their names
I can’t recall another politician ever expressing this direct of a sentiment before. (depressing! it’s so simple!) it’s difficult to explain how it feels to wake up and find your country is bombing the place your family grew up. again
getting lost on the way to Marriott conference rooms

Nothing more Culture Study than an entire episode on the sociology of baby names

He has debased us, body and soul
I only got one day in my five years of NYC looking like this but it was tremendous, just tremendous
We're talking about leaving Twitter here — and I agree strongly with @tressiemcphd.bsky.social about how little we talk about the larger loss of leaving these platforms that were so foundational to the public performance of what Diana Taylor would call "the repertoire" of our knowledge / self
Respect the troops by making them bid against each other to see who will take the smallest bonus and screw over everyone else 🙄
Wait has he still not resigned
yeah i was just underlining the truth of the observation!
the truth of this though
But I think it's what most people actually believe — FIGURE OUT SOME OTHER WAY
People HATE ADS and will do anything to evade them
No one likes the "pay every contributor individually" model
Only TEN PERCENT think we should have publicly funded news models — because we have been poisoned against public works
25 percent are like yeah I won't pay but I also have no ideas
Everyone's highlighted the disconnect in the recent Pew Study re: the news — that 80% of Americans think it's our responsibility to follow the news, but only 8% think we have a responsibility to *pay* for the news.

In case you need the case made for you — @katemanne.bsky.social is on it
