So my friend @RonanFarrow released his book yesterday! Ronan is the kind of journalist that activist like myself rely on. He is consistent, determined, honest and intellectually curious. Catch and Kill will underscore all of that for readers in page after riveting page!
It’s so masterfully written and goes into the nuances that so many of us wondered about in the uncovering of these monumental stories. His care and compassion for the survivors stories that he was trusted with shows in how diligently he investigated each claim.
After all of the work he has done to carry these stories forward I am also excited for the world to hear *his* story. This guy is pretty amazing. Low key - a genius - but he will pish posh that. :-)
Anyway...go buy the book! You won't be disappointed.

Annual Holiday reminder for Survivors of sexual violence to be gentle with yourself. It’s a hard time of year for so many who are returning to the places where they were harmed, being around the harm doers, or who are reminded why they no longer are close with family.
Take it easy, have a plan in place for how you will cope with triggers (or avoid if possible). Things like having a friend to call on standby or giving your partner a code to let them know you are not okay could be helpful.
Also...give yourself the permission you need. It could be permission to leave a triggering situation or start new traditions but allow yourself the space you need to feel safe and loved. You’re not alone. 💕

While we are very excited that #MeToo was FINALLY introduced into the presidential debates tonight - thanks to the efforts of our #metooVoter campaign, it is disappointing that @maddow didn’t open up the floor and pass the question to other candidates to respond.
Getting the question into tonight’s debate was our FIRST goal and we did that with the support of #metoovoter survivors and our allies. Thank you!!

But be clear - we are not done.
The presidential candidates, in particular, owe survivors a clear response on where they stand on dealing with sexual violence in this country and we will demand that they do so. #MeTooVoter #Metoomovement #metoo

Still reeling from last night's debates and thinking about the various ways sexual violence could have been introduced into the conversation as opposed to rehashing the same ol' issues and a random round of 'what about your friends?'
#MeTooVoter
The Be Heard Act. There is legislation introduced right that would completely overhaul workplace harassment laws. Do the candidates support it? #MeTooVoter

States are grappling with statute of limitation laws right now and there is no federal guidance around it. #MeTooVoter

Book 24 – Dead Companies Walking

This is about understanding when a company is sliding towards bankruptcy, regardless of the stock price.

Also, how to short it. It also helped me understand when to start selling, which has been a big issue with me.

1. One of the most important assertions of the author is that “Things go wrong more often than they go right”. Failure is the common outcome of any business venture and this doesn’t necessarily have to be frauds. Good, smart people fail. And one of the key reasons is they fail...
..to see changes coming and are in love with their own ideas

2. Most of the companies that fail are just plain old failures, the result of bad ideas, bad management or a combination of the two. Some of the common mistakes of management are:

Yesterday a regular patron/customer, former volnteer, & guy who was on the committee to interview me for my job six years ago verbally assaulted me when I asked him and another man to use quiet voices in the library. Among other things he...
... said that hiring me was a huge mistake and he would regret it for the rest of his life. He, and some of the other long-timers, are not happy with the changes I’m making by employing best practices for libraries, archives, museums, and non-profits...
... This man must have been stewing for some time over the changes I’ve made, which, again are all normal in the library/archive/museum world. But the long-timers have had many years to do what they want, so the changes are sometimes met with resistance.

Yesterday - A Q movie?

1. What if Q and Q+ begin transforming Hollywood just in time for The Great Awakening?
@Tiff_FitzHenry @IPOT1776 @TheSpeaker2018 @M2Madness @Bruno062418 @2runtherace @martingeddes #Yesterday @PoliticalOrgy
2. How would they do this? Check out @3Days3Nights great “frog” thread.
3. Anyone even half awake can see the depravity in Hollywood and all it controls. Movies, TV, commercials, and pop culture have sunk to new lows in recent years.

I read 109 books in 2018, this is a thread of some of my favorites.
You can find my whole list of books read for the year here: 50bookpledge.ca/user/101579941…
My first book of the year was Emma Donoghue's The Wonder, and it was a masterful exploration of faith and non-faith. TW for CSA.
The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden was book two in a fantasy trilogy with a spirited heroine and a gorgeous medieval Russian setting.

The Gift of Fear, by Gavin de Becker
"Predatory animals devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment."
Chapter 1 opens with a play-by-play of Kelly's interaction with a stranger. She's heading home with her hands full, when a bag gives way, and a young man appears, offering his help. He talks too much, insists on following her up, and into her home. He rapes and almost kills her.

1/ I finished @nntaleb's new #book Skin in the game, and here are my learnings, insights and notes.

Warning: this thread is going to be huge.
2/ Human systems are systems within systems, interacting in complex ways. No article / paper / logic can capture all interactions of such systems and their evolution over a non-trivial amount of time.

So fear one shot, large scale interventions (such as invasions, UBI, CRISPR)
3/ People with fuck you money should call out famous or powerful people when they are wrong
