1/ I'm sharing @ianbremmer 's tweet because of the hashtags. They are from Orwell's animal farm (link for free download on the next tweet). The book was written in 1944 and Hannah Arendt's "The origins of totalitarianism" in 1951.
2/ Reading the Vox article and Judd's article on 8chan helps build more doublethink hashtag such as:
#HateIsLove
#TerrorIsFreedom
#HateSpeechisFreeSpeech

vox.com/recode/2019/5/…
3/ Here is Animal Farm. Most people who read me (unfortunately: the goal was to reach those who needed a bit of critical thinking light) read it, but here it goes anyway:

4/ Finally, an excerpt from K. Popper's "The Open Society and its enemies", also link to free library pdf below.

1/ My Significant Other, who has 10X more followers than I do from participating in those #FBRParty things that I strongly oppose, is engaged in an experiment: instead of posting witty obviousness and outrage (and getting thousands of likes), he is posting content.
2/ The result is interesting: he barely gets any attention from his "huge crowd of resisters" who do such great lip service to the cause of democracy but don't seem that interested in making informed decisions.
3/ They still do engage (a lot) with accounts that repeat old news in fewer words and more emotion, they enjoy strongly emotional words and expressions (they love, hate, are sick, etc) and they happily engage in follow-backs.

1/ Mother's day started as political activism. It should have remained so. I still celebrate my mother, the strongest advocate for science I knew.

cnn.com/2019/05/11/us/…
2/ Her best friend from college (it will sound crazy, but she kept perfect notes of Dobzhansky's classes, loved them and managed to be creationist and evolutionist at the same time) was a Catholic. They are both 93. Until recently, I still overheard their fights about evolution.
3/ My mother has been defending evolution against any attack for 75 years. She's a fierce atheist, like my father. She does "have a conversation with Saint Anthony" when important objects are lost. I tried to understand this but it's a futile attempt.

@DrSprankle 1/ Eric, although I agree with you, I believe the path to debunking the myths about sex work are best accomplished by systematically giving voice to sex workers' experience and discourse.
@DrSprankle 2/ It's also important to define sex work, which is not restricted to prostitution and the educated public has little idea of its complexity. Many years ago, as a left-leaning liberal that I always was, I also believed prostitutes were forced labor, especially in Brazil.
@DrSprankle 3/ (I am originally from Brazil and a scholar). All the documentaries about the "zonas" (old time prostitution neighborhoods) were sickening and our reaction was to "fight their oppressors". When the prostitutes' movement grew, got legalization and professional regulation...

Just kidding. Kinda? Let's talk about it.
The usual disclaimer applies: YMMV, my way is not the only way, everyone's journey is different. This advice is intended for new writers seeking traditional publication. I straight up can't speak to indie/self-publishing because I don't have experience there.
1. The key to all marketing endeavors is WRITING A GREAT BOOK. For real. A book that is compelling, beautifully written, and carefully revised will snag a passionate agent, sell to a quality publishing house in a bigger deal, and receive more marketing attention. Period.

To all book lovers, WATCH THIS SPACE! This thread can help you to get fabulously started on BOOKSTAGRAM. ✨✨✨ #bookstagram
I am so excited to share this with all of you. I've prepared some tips for you to read. So let's get this party started!! So what is Bookstagram?

Bookstagram = Instagram for books. Duhhh..
Most people with Instagram accounts like to post pictures of their food, their selfies, their children, engagement day, wedding day.. BASICALLY THEIR LIFE. When it comes to bookstagram, we bookworms are also posting about our lives. It just happens to be 100% books. Right? 😄

BY PROFESSOR ITSE SAGAY, SAN.

1. Introduction
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, I feel highly honoured to be invited to give the 2018 Convocation Lecture of this great institution. I thank the Chancellor, the Chairman and Members of Council and Senate for this high privilege
The title of this lecture was deliberately chosen to express and articulate my impression of Nigeria and the anguish and frustrations I am personally experiencing about the behavior, conduct and orientation of the Nigerian Elite.
Why Animal Kingdom? In the first place man is biologically an animal. Indeed, all human beings are animals. But we are supposed to have developed and evolved into superior, thinking, intelligent, refined human beings, controlling all the lower species of animals. Indeed, as
