Man I don't care about Israeli academics. Who cares. People are dying in Gaza and the West Bank and Israeli academics run their palestinian/palestine allies out all the time for years. Ilan pappe literally has been saying the far right push of israeli society was inevitible... since the early 2000s. They are not being "punished," they're experiencing consequences for their complicity. So annoying that all you people do is criticize the movement and pretend to be part of it.

Listen to the sound of wikipedia

This is a way to listen to changes to wikipedia. You are literally listening to knowledge being added to the world.

Pluck sounds are an addition, strings are subtractions, and the pitch says how how big the edit is. My heart shudders at this I love it so much.

Britney Spears’s hair is such a powerful symbol in her memoir, and you can’t even attribute the genesis of that symbol to Sam Lansky (her probable ghostwriter) because it’s something she has physically wielded since the infamous hair-shaving incident. In the memoir she writes about being “mad with grief” because Kfed had taken her children, babies at the time, away from her, and she was very conscious of men finding long hair sexy, of her awareness that the same people who wanted her to be “pretty” and “good” were the same people who’d been objectifying her since she was a teenager while simultaneously claiming that she was corrupting the youth with the same sexualized image she was projecting. Her hair was the one thing she could take away from the audience, paparazzi, team and family that saw her body as public property. During Britney’s residency in Vegas, during which she was under conservatorship and forced to perform for other people’s profit, she was so acutely aware of how she was expected to move her hair (a tight wig at the time) that her small act of rebellion was to keep every hair on that suffocating wig in place. During the conservatorship, one of the only people to encourage Britney and talk to her like a human deserving of agency was a hairdresser…word got out to her father and that hairdresser was promptly fired. That bottle-blond hair represents so much, it’s a throughline in her career/captivity/freedom…
