I have #Kurdish friends that I deeply care for, I want to comfort them and tell them that my heart goes out to them, but then the words fails me, I'm at a loss
I hide behind my silence, guilty for failing to lend support, my words feels meaningless and empty. I want to tell them the day will come when no longer the mountains are your only refuge
you will find your piece of heaven where you belong, where you are wanted and loved, where you can freely speak your native language
give your kids #Kurdish names, teach them #Kurdish songs, live, love, dance, live and breath your culture without the fear of being persecuted, gassed, stripped of your identity and driven out of your land
To you and all the oppressed people in the world, hope this day will come.

1. I just learned that today is #NationalComingOutDay, so, here are a bunch of Tweets about my experience, as one does.
I was 30 before I was honest with myself, 33 before I was comfortable enough to be honest with part of my family - 37 before I could be honest with the rest...
2. ...and I was 44 before I could be honest with the majority of my friends, because I had to wait until Don't Ask, Don't Tell was repealed.
While my coming out was met with a collective yawn by all but two members of my immediate and extended family and all but one ...
3. ...of my friends, it was a grueling process for me that up until I was finally honest with myself, involved attempts to cure myself with prayer, religious intervention, and psychiatric care (it's worth noting that the Army psychologist I saw told me the only 'cure' was to...

And now I'm going to live-tweet a skim of the Harvard affirmative action decision: drive.google.com/file/d/1mzqBPL…
First observation: The Court is sticking to the Fisher II playbook. They favorably cite right away Harvard's ongoing evaluation of its own efforts to promote diversity (the 2015 Khurana committee).
The rhetoric of the Court, much like that of most of the admissions debate since basically forever, accepts GPA and SAT as unproblematic measures of academic excellence:

This Is Not That Game

#RPGTheoryJuly
Once, when I was drifting in the world between sleep and wake, I glimpsed the game. It was hiding from me, but I sought a better look.

Its fiction was glorious, its form magnificent, and my experiences finding it were for the ages.
This is not that game. I can't tell you how to play it. Maybe, though, I can show you what you need to find it too.

Or if not, perhaps you can glimpse it.

Or if not, perhaps you can find another, a glorious creature, if not the one I found.

Your heart will be your guide.

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”

@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

@wdunlap “Attorneys for #Epstein say he obtained a foreign #passport under an alias in 1980s to defend himself from potential kidnappers while traveling in the Middle East.

worried about perils he faced traveling there as ‘an affluent member of the Jewish faith’”

Watching the livestream of @LAW_witchhunt, before the meeting starts @ken4london turns to Graham Bash "you're Jewish?" He makes his speech first and then walks out "promised the kids I'd be home by 8..."
Leaving Tina Werkmann (who is she?) to introduce Jackie Walker and Graham Bash to the crowd. It's a bit sad really, the night before her expulsion hearing she wheels out Graham. You can imagine how his speech goes blah blah "I'm Jewish and it's all a smear" blah blah blah
Tina says "On that glorious day in 2015 I don't think anyone expected we'd take the @uklabour Party, take society, straight away..." and "Jeremy Corbyn has always been unacceptable not just to the right wing not just of the party but to the people who run society"
