My friends, @lizzo is coming to Madison next week. What outfit can I wear that will make her think “That’s a badass fat black woman. I wanna bring her up here to twerk with me on stage”? #meetlizzo #twerkwithlizzo
For support of this campaign, I submit Instagram evidence A: Me twerking into a hippo statue’s mouth at a putt putt golf course.

This white man yelling at two men of color airline employees about his bags has got the whole gate area on edge. Jesus be a Xanax.
“I will never fly your airline again! I need to be home at by fucking 6 and you WILL make that happen.”
Angry White Man: “I want to speak to your supervisor”
Employee: “Sir, I am his supervisor”
Angry White Man pointing finger into Employee chest: “Then I want to speak for YOUR supervisor”

Hi queer folks. Hey straight allies. Have you seen this tiny cute graphic novel? It’s a really simple, sweet introduction to #LBGTQ+ identities that’s perfect for young adults and teens.

simonandschuster.com/books/A-Quick-…
I plan to use it the next time I teach Gender Studies 101 but I’m going to give the copy I’m reading to a gender-questioning teen in my life. It provides definitions, stories & advice on gender expression, coming out, transitioning, etc. The tone is friendly, gentle & supportive.
I wish someone had given me something like this when I was 12/13. If you have a teen or young adult in your life who could use a little introduction to queerness, I highly recommend this book!

Denial of the science, denial on religious grounds, both smokescreens. The real issue is that we in the US have moved politically vastly further apart.

Another writing tip for the middle of the night:

Make your characters different by using the four humours. Or, if it's easier, just think of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It's basic stuff, but it works.
A lot of all-ages entertainment gets written off too easily for what it can teach us. You don't have to follow it rigidly, but there's a reason these stories work. There's a reason the TMNT stick around. They have a dynamic that most any writer can work with.
Little is more boring in a story than characters all agreeing with each other. They don't have to be always in conflict, but even when agreeing, they aren't lock step in sync with one another.

Black Friday sales are kicking off. Christmas is right around the corner. What better time to learn how you can get cash back, as you shop, from thousands of online stores?

Since I've accumulated £750+ in cashback in the last 2 years, I wanted to share my experience with you...
Earning cashback is very simple:
1) Join the cashback site
2) Shop at any of the 4,000+ online merchants it supports
3) Earn money on each purchase, either as a % of spend, or as a flat fee bonus
4) Withdraw the cash to your bank account, or take it as shopping vouchers
Tons of familiar names are on board, like Currys, Halfords, LateRooms, Hilton, Costa, eBay, John Lewis, AO, EE, O2, Thomas Cook, Aviva etc. The list's almost endless. (Specific companies may come and go, but many of your favourite merchants are bound to be there.)

Here is why Cynthia Erivo, in particular, should not play Harriet Tubman.

TL; DR: There’s a troubling pattern of Cynthia repeatedly, deliberately, selectively *choosing* to not give respect to African-American heritage – the heritage of Harriet Tubman.
#HarrietDeservesBetter
Note: There’s an argument to be made against Africans/non-DOS Brits playing important African-American figures – & vice versa. Performance & perspective, where & how we take up space, larger economic & cultural issues at play.

Others have unpacked that; this thread won’t.
This thread is about why Cynthia Erivo should not play Harriet Tubman, “the Moses of her people” & a sacred African-American ancestor. It goes beyond Cynthia’s birthplace, accent, heritage & even her association with an ethnic bigot.

It rests on a pattern of behavior & choices.

Coming towards the end of the week this is probably a good time for a factual and honest assessment of where we are with Brexit.

You may find that elsewhere. Here coming next is this week's update to the still unscientific Brexit Probability Index...
And the news from the week's Brexit debate is that nothing has shifted* the equally unsophisticated and unscientific Brexit Probability Index**

(* - some titles have been changed. see next tweet)
(** - it isn't really an index either)
Some categorisation clarification. No-deal WTO - out in March. A short term extension - essential agreements e.g. aviation. FTA plus or minus because what some call no-deal deal is actually quite engaged. Chequers and Jersey option are similar = goods only alignment.

Here we have the beginning of the #show!
Kinda hot, but the first cloud loomed (pretty!)
We set up behind the #drums in the back 😊

For those who've never been to #DenverBotanicalGardens , imagine the #stage at the center bottom of an inverse pyramid.
Melissa Etheridge coming down the side ramp toward the stage!

This photo is bleached out cuz of the intense sun beating down on us (before the rest of the clouds would sweep across the sky)
Unsure which songs these are from.
The #lineup #featured #songs from #YourLittleSecret and back.
A fun #memory lane trip for my veteran show going friends, and a good #show for my newbie friends to walk into 😊
