If you're stressing about the mid-terms here's a very easy, quick thing you can do to feel active. Check this list and see if your Rep is a co-sponsor of #HConRes138, which ends US support for the Saudi war on Yemen that threatens millions w starvation.

congress.gov/bill/115th-con…
If they're not, CALL THEM (202-224-3121) and ask them why they are not co-sponsoring. There is a real opportunity to end this ghastly war and prevent the humanitarian crisis from becoming a full-blown, era-defining famine.
Part of what's so crazy about this issue is that we are abetting unspeakable horror and suffering and as far as I can tell almost NO ONE ever makes an argument as to why we are doing it? It is just happening while we watch.

Serious question: is there actuall proposed legislative language about what "The Wall" is and/or what the 5.6 billion would go towards that the WH has drafted? Like, what does the bill text for that appropriation look like?
OK, so here's the legislative language from the House version. HR 695 SEC 141, ready for this?
"Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, there is appropriated for ‘U.S. Customs and Border Protection—Procurement, Construction, and Improvements’ $5,710,357,000 for fiscal year 2019, to remain available until September 30, 2023."

Here watching the ceremonial swearing in in House. What’s *really* striking is the diversity of the new class, and how it contrasts with the other party. It’s this constant, clear, visceral reminder of the state of the two coalitions.
And then there's this:
And this stat:

In 1987, there were 11 GOP women in Congress.
In 2019, there are 13

1/9: On the fence as to who to vote for Mid Terms? Here’s a Story: So you are working for a Company with a new shake-it-up-CEO. Things were crap a couple years ago (old CEO). You were looking for a new job ‘cause totally fed up and co-workers were on the same page...
2/9: Then came a New CEO: The dude seemed to listen. Got stuff done. Take it from here: Got a raise. Got a bonus. Take home paychecks are higher. Taxes lower...
3/9: Can’t wait to get to work every day.The new CEO lays out a plan and tweets about where he’s at daily. We give our input and like clockwork, it’s incorporated into his Agenda...

After Nov 8, 2016
I thought we'd ALL band together with 1 common goal:

Defeat @realDonaldTrump

Fight his fascist agenda

Remain United States of America

Regardless of ideology

Country before party

Found that in #TheResistance
We ALL Resist different
At times disagree

Before 2016, I wasn't active on Twitter.
Like many of us, alarmed by what I was witnessing little by little I got more involved.
Learned about politics, Congress, Senate, Laws.
If you asked me 4 yrs ago I wouldn't be able to tell ya who represents each state.
I know by heart now.
Once tRump took over on Jan 20, 2017 I got more involved & Summer of last year I met many amazing Resistance brothers & sisters who are family to me til this day.
I created support rooms & joined candidate rooms to help amplify their campaign.
I run across amazing people daily.

A thread about power and professionalism in academia
1/This thread is inspired by comments about how it's "human nature" to be sexually attracted to other people, that sometimes you really do find your soulmate at a conference or a lab bench, and that so-and-so, who is known to be a harasser, is a "good scientist."
2/Here's the thing. Academia, like many other domains--perhaps more so than most--organizes its power hierarchies around reputation. You grow your academic reputation primarily through your papers, your talks, your collaborations/relationships with others & their reputations.

Here is a thread about what it is really like to be part of a small independent publisher, both the good and the bad.

It is going to be a massive thread, I warn you in advance.
And before I kick off, I want to point out that when I mention the bad stuff it is not meant as a complaint. We know the score, and knew it from the outset, I just wanted to share the reality with you as I think you'll find it interesting.
For the past couple of years I have been acquiring and helping to publish fiction and non-fiction for Eye & Lightning Books, sister imprints that have a 20-year history between them.

And lasting that long as a tiny indie is a remarkable feat.
