I’m sure what I think of this. I read three articles in it (will link as a thread) & I remain unsure how much of this is journalistic spin/interpretation. I just don’t think of the double as evil after my viewing of the film, it’s way more complicated than that...
W longer piece: wmagazine.com/story/lupita-n…
Variety short piece: variety.com/video/lupita-n…
NY Times piece: nytimes.com/2019/03/20/art…
I’m particularly interested in hearing from disabled folks, esp those with this impairment, who’ve seen the film since the trailer & promos make it seems more pure horror than complex creepy thriller, but I acknowledge some folks may boycott the film bc of this acting choice.
So I am def not saying folks who haven’t seen the film cannot weigh in. Just curious if seeing the film impacts interpretations since I’ve already seen it.

I am going up for tenure next year & preparing my materials. There is a book chapter I was invited to write in Fall 2014 just months after I got my PhD. I submitted the chapter in Spring 2015. The edited collection this chapter was written for has still not been published.
I am sure there are decent reasons for the immense slowdown in production. But can you imagine if I was relying on this publication as a junior scholar? I write this piece less than a year after graduating & will likely have tenure before its published. That’s bananas.
As someone working in disability studies I know there was many reasons for delays in schedules, but as a multiply marginalized junior scholar I also know that one publication coming in YEARS late could really fuck with someone’s tenure case.

Read the midterm evaluations for my GWS 101 large lecture course. A little over 1/3 of the students filled out the evaluation online. Average rating of 4.5 out of 5. Vast majority of the comments positive. Best one: “Basically this course makes you a better human.” 🙃
I’ve been struggling with the fact that I put SO MUCH TIME into this class but I am very disconnected from the students & their learning experience since I only lecture while TAs lead discussions & grade. Sometimes it feels like shouting into the abyss & hoping someone heard.
These evals help remind me students are indeed learning & benefitting from the class, even though I don’t really get to see it. A nice gift as we push through the last five weeks of the hardest/busiest semester I’ve had in years.

Men have no inherent right to sex. That is, no right to others’ bodies. Maybe if men weren’t so shitty, someone would fuck them. As women assert their right to say no & to choose sex on their terms, I imagine this number will rightfully keep going up. #DontFuckShittyMen2020
I say this as someone who has fucked a lot of shitty men in my 20s bc I didn’t know I was allowed to have standards. As a fat black woman I thought I was supposed to accept any attention I was given, even if that person wasn’t good to me. I know better now. And I fuck better too.

UKRAINE’S FASCIST TIMELINE

Yesterday Ukraine held its 7th presidential election since independence in 1991.

To mark this hopefully new start we have assembled a timeline of facts on the history of the nation since the Maidan riots of winter 2013-14.

bbc.com/news/world-eur…
UKRAINE’S FASCIST TIMELINE

Maidan smashed the lynchpin of representative democracy that held disparate E & W Ukraine together. That lynchpin was held in place due to the faith the people of Crimea & E Ukraine had in the democratic process. With Maidan this faith was shattered.
UKRAINE’S FASCIST TIMELINE

Let us step back to the time when the split between E & W Ukraine began. Almost everything which has transpired since the start of the crisis with Maidan, including an estimated 13,000 deaths, began during WWII.

@mrmarchee @garrygreen888 @moonhare77 @carolecadwalla Report here is obfuscation. Issue isn't the total collective campaign spending, it’s about who broke the law & how. #Remain campaigns were fined for failing to submitting returns correctly. They didn’t act fraudulently to overspend. The largest fine was to Lib Dems, £18K. 1/
@mrmarchee @garrygreen888 @moonhare77 @carolecadwalla Carole Cadwalladr & others have reported extensively: The #Leave campaigns have been found guilty of serious breaches of the law by the Electoral Commission and the ICO and are now under criminal investigation for other offences. 2/
@mrmarchee @garrygreen888 @moonhare77 @carolecadwalla Vote Leave – Official Leave campaign: Fined £61K by Electoral Commission for colluding with BeLeave & overspending the £7m limit by £500k. They paid #AIQ this amount for Facebook ads in the name of BeLeave. Vote Leave now referred to Met/NCA for further suspected fraud. 3/

There’s a No. of reasons to be optimistic about future of Apapa,under PMB/PYO. Let me explain:

1. Apapa is getting a Standard Gauge Rail link to Ebute-Metta & onwards to Abeokuta/Ibadan

2. Apapa Road Transmission Substation is getting an upgrade jica.go.jp/english/mobile…

#Thread
2/ (cont’d)

Apapa Road Substation “supplies power to households,as well as to harbor facilities and industrial areas nearby, including the Lagos Port Complex.”

Upgrade “is expected to reduce amount of power outage time at power service locations by at least 800 hours per year.”
2/ (cont’d)

“On Nov 23, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed a grant agreement with @AsoRock to provide grant aid of up to 2.349 billion yen for the Project for Emergency Rehabilitation & Reinforcement of Lagos Transmission Substations.” jica.go.jp/english/mobile…

How about a #Remain manifesto, agreed & promoted by all major Remain groups? #RemainManifesto

The purpose would be to explain how, if we Remain, we can address Leave's concerns and can commit a future govnt to enact them, to the letter. 1/20
The manifesto could address the main reasons we have been told for the Leave vote.

It could focus purely on the key areas - immigration, sovereignty, EU federal plans, EU wastefulness.
It could detail precise ways in which we can protect ourselves from these concerns. 2/20
hy not compromise by changing Britain as it is today, but not by leaving the EU? And save the cost & risk of Brexit.

But I think we should only address the areas directly detailed as being the reasons for the Leave vote. Not what we suspect may be underlying. 3/20

Blocking accounts (trolls & bots) thread
A lot of #remain ers don't really understand the situation they are facing on Twitter, they see an online debate where #Leave and #Remain put their points forward and whoever has the best logic wins.

1/n
#stopbrexit #FBPE #PeoplesVote
That isn't what's happening. At this point #Leave (left or right) don't need to convince people of anything, they don't need to win debates.

All they need to do to win is to stop #Remain from reaching people and the tactics they are using are designed to do that.

2/n
Those tactics are to distract, discredit & disrupt Remain attempts to convince people.

They use name calling & insults. This is to discredit #Remain.

Also they hope to goad Remainers into an emotional response so they appear overly motivated and therefore less convincing.
3/n
