I would’ve liked The Duel if it was gender swapped—Sandra vs another woman facing off with pistols for their honor over some hapless shmoe would’ve been hilarious
My pitch in the room would’ve been Sandra vs Leslie Jones, Pete Davidson is the male love interest, they end up “accidentally” shooting him and then walk off into the sunset together
(Doh: originally typed Lisa Jones, colleague from back in the day at the Village Voice, instead of Leslie)

OK, straight talk: @RentTheRunway is getting into the kid fashion rental business, but they're just getting into the GIRL kid fashion rental business. There's no easy way to dress a 6'2" 15 y.o. like @HudsonDYang who grows out of everything, every month.

Yes, women face MUCH greater demand in our patriarchal society to wear different outfits at events—but that's changing as gender conventions do. Platforms like RTR need to expand their offer. (Note: they don't even offer formal/semiformal suits for women. All dresses, basically.)
On that note: If there's a menswear/streetwear designer who WANTS to dress @HudsonDYang for events, hit us up. Between the eating and the growing and the wearing, I'm going broke.

My latest for @InkstoneNews is a personal reflection on how #FreshOffTheBoat got to 100 freaking episodes (with my son @HudsonDYang on board)...and transformed the face of Hollywood.

inkstonenews.com/opinion/jeff-y…
“At the time the pilot was being shot, @HudsonDYang was barely nine years old, a four-foot-something little nugget with a halo of bushy hair, a surplus of attitude and zero acting experience.”
inkstonenews.com/opinion/jeff-y…
“Hudson is now 6’2”, a young man who’s lived much of his life and experienced many of his (simulated) firsts in front of the camera – his first crush, his first kiss, his first time driving a car, his first job, his first girlfriend and his first breakup.”

Thanks to Chairman ⁦@RepHankJohnson⁩ and Ranking Member ⁦@RepMarthaRoby⁩ for holding a hearing today on diversity in the innovation economy and allowing me to present my research! #Honor #LostEinsteins #LostKatherines
Focus of my research & testimony: macro implications of suboptimal allocation of talent when women & URM aren't included at each stage of innovative process -- STEM ed & training, practice of invention (patent teams), & commercialization of invention. #LostEinsteinsAndKatherines
In addition to my research with Chaleampong Kongcharoen and Yanyan Yang, my testimony cited related work by Hunt, Garant, Herman, and Munroe; Hsieh, Hurst, Jones, and Klenow; and Bell, Chetty, Jaravel, Petrova, & @johnvanreenen. #LostEinsteinsAndKatherines

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

10 THINGS MEN CAN DO TO PREVENT GENDER VIOLENCE @threadreaderapp 1. Approach sexual harassment & forms of #gender #violence as a MEN’S issue involving men of all ages & socioeconomic, racial/ ethnic backgrounds. View men not only as possible offenders, but as empowered bystanders
2. DON’T REMAIN SILENT
If someone you know is abusing his partner – or is disrespectful or abusive to girls and women in general – try to talk to him about it. Urge him to seek help. Or if you don’t know what to do, consult a friend. #SpeakUp #BystanderIntervention
3. HAVE THE COURAGE TO LOOK INWARD
Question your own attitudes. Don’t be defensive when something you do or say ends up hurting someone else. Try hard to understand how your own attitudes & actions might inadvertently perpetuate sexism and violence, & work towards changing them.
