I'm not really on here, but let future generations look upon this timestamp as proof that I (will have) predicted Patti LuPone going full fash before the decade's end.

Precisely, I'm disappointed with Kimberle Crenshaw about this as well, but that does not erase the fact that her coining of the term intersectionality to describe the experiences of people who belong to multiple marginalized communities is important. Foucault was literally a sex pest who sexually exploited Tusnian children when it was a French colony and yet I don't see leftists calling for the dismissal of his contributions and thinkings. People are just itching to dismiss Black feminist theory and will find any sort of justification to do so.

I am thinking about fan fiction writers, but anyone who writes any kind of fiction can answer. (As far as I’m aware, non-fiction is usually written in the past tense - but if I’m wrong do let me know!)

If you like, explain why in the tags!

When I was young I gathered that all serious works of fiction were written in the past tense (past tense third person to be precise) so that is what i did when I started writing. However my mind was blown by the power and immediacy of Margaret Atwood writing in the present tense so I started to experiment with it myself, and now i strongly favour it. I get the impression that past is still the most commonly used, but I’m prepared to be surprised!

Please share!

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

Dear Aziz, I hope your family is able to reunite in a safe place.

HARVARD ID’s STUDENTS FOR SILENTLY PRAYING FOR PALESTINE AT DIVINITY SCHOOL

Today, Jewish students at Harvard Divinity School, a nonsectarian school dedicated to the religion scholarship, led a pray-in for Palestine in the library.

Nearly 70 students attended and prayed silently with religious materials in hand and signs against the ongoing genocide and Harvard’s complicity. Admin quickly arrived to ID all participants, including people who were simply holding prayer books without a sign or keffiyeh.

This is the first pray-in during a wave of recent study-ins across the university — students have been undeterred in their solidarity with the Palestinian people despite receiving bans from their own libraries.

What's your favorite icterid?

Probably has to be the Martinique oriole. Love the blend of dark orange and black.

I love when my fellow Tumblr whites preach about the importance of listening to our elders, who possess wisdom we cannot imagine. And they never offer up any names.

It's like, my friend, I don't think you know any elders.

Or maybe you do, and you realize it's best to leave their names off because none of your elders could withstand Tumblr's fawn-then-flame brand of hero worship.

Because elders are flawed, human individuals rather than a pantheon of gods.
