Question: Since the WHO ended the global emergency status for COVID-19 on May 5th, does anyone know of any journals that have reimposed paywalls? Thanks!

NEW ESSAY (& 🧵): you can't understand our current anti-trans moral panic without "Understanding the Anti-Trans Parent Movement," which has received almost no media scrutiny. no-paywall link, please share & give it lots of "claps" (up to 50)!

I've had represented parties lose at trial against self-represented litigants, always because they lied to their lawyers. My favorite was an old divorce case where the husband had a lawyer and the wife didn't.
He brought a lawyer.
She brought receipts.
(A fun story 🧵.)

Normally, you're a little panicked on Mother's Day. Your sister, Kelly, always buys the perfect gift, while you scramble last-minute.
Not this year. This year is different.
"Nice birdbath, Kelly," you say. "I guess I'm just more focused on keeping Mom and her home safe-"

We're issuing an apology for our misunderstanding of Bring a Kid to Work Day. We're a wildlife agency, and we hope you understand that a kid is something totally different for us. We'll do better next year.

Daily, trans people and allies ask if they are safe in their state or where to move. Sometimes its students looking at college. Sometimes its companies picking conference venues.
So I made the anti-trans legislative risk map.

This is a bad headline. But the findings themselves (about teen girls' perspectives of how multiple social media platforms impact their well-being) are interesting! Let me tell you what they actually are. 🧵 washingtonpost.com/education…

For my fellow white-raised friends in NYC who ask: “Can you just tell me what to do?” - here are TWO concrete things you can do this spring:
1) come to a SURJ chapter meeting, April 6;
2) come to Central Park + get trained in action and community safety (links to follow)

doing a story about why Americans don't mend clothes anymore and was talking to Linda Przybyszewski, author of The Lost Art of Dress. she brought up a really good point: ppl don't mend clothes because clothes have become simpler, which has contributed to their cheapening 🧵

Valerie Castile has been advocating for free school meals for six years, in honor of her son Philando. On Friday, she watched as Governor Tim Walz signed a law to provide free breakfast and lunch to every Minnesota schoolchild. sahanjournal.com/education/f…

My all-time favorite @halseanderson quote is not her most famous and I wish it was:
“Censorship has nothing to do with protecting children. It has to do with protecting adults who don’t want to have difficult conversations with those children.”
