The first time I wrote about the problem of state pension inequality for 1950s women was back in 2016. I mentioned the 'cold hard knot of anger' - that's not gone away. #waspi #StatePension newstatesman.com/politics/femin…

Then I had another go a couple of weeks later. newstatesman.com/politics/femin… #waspi #statepension

And I wrote another piece in March. I wish I could feel as though any of it made a difference. newstatesman.com/politics/econo… #waspi #StatePension

Alrighty - time to talk about mental toughness and emotional intelligence. I'll also talk about how to be a good teammate. All three of these were lessons that I've learned over the past three years, starting with my time playing for @SeattleSockeye .

This is a hard one for me and I've been pushing it off, at least sub-consciously, until now. I'll do my best to be honest and sincere. I'll also try to keep the typos to a minimum and keep things in chronological order. This'll probably be a long one. Good thing most are asleep!

On Monday I told my story up through the end of playing for @PrideofNY . In that thread I mentioned that I tore my [right] ACL. It was a complete tear (you can partially tear it) without any meniscus damage.

Trump and Mussolini: 11 Key Lessons from Historical Fascism

Italian fascism provides a better model for our moment than Nazi Germany—and the comparison is not encouraging.

Fascism is a religion. The 20th century will be known in history as the century of fascism.
〰️ Benito Mussolini

I’d like to draw some comparisons and contrasts between our present situation and that of #fascist Italy between 1922 and 1945. I choose fascist #Italy rather than #Nazi #Germany because it has always seemed to me a better comparison.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!

The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.

#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

This is a good point, and I have a whole lot of editing advice and my husband is making dinner, so hey, pull up a chair if you're interested.

https://twitter.com/quartzen/status/1034120480062693376

At the basic level, here are things to look for and fix when you're editing.

1. Does the plot basically make sense? When you re-read, are there moments that the characters forget to try some absolutely obvious solution, like calling someone on the phone or locking the door?

2. Are the characters basically portrayed consistently? Does anyone forget that they're a medical doctor or rocket scientist? If someone is supposed to be sympathetic, do they basically seem sympathetic?

Yorick de Mombynes @ydemombynes

Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD

1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"

2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI

September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
