Imagine being mad that a magazine published a thoughtful and forward-thinking issue about men because you can’t “envision the guys down at the tackle shop or Tractor Supply” reading it 🥴
If being a man is toxic “in more than a few tellings,” why not cite any of them?

I hate lazy shit like this

1) I called Hill's relationship unethical and worthy of resignation in the third sentence of this piece

2) Excuse me if I don't take feminist advice from a reporter who once wrote an entire article about my tits

Now you know that yes, I absolutely *can* hold a grudge for years: Here's Ryan writing about my breasts in 2007 and how I'm "not shy about my body" because of the title of my first book.
Oh, and he did a FOLLOW UP CHAT about whether or not I used my "sexuality for self-promotion." He also claimed he tried to reach me for comment but that his email must have...malfunctioned?

These women are heroes, and FUCK YOU to the people in the room who didn't support them
This is how short people's memories are when it comes to serial rapists: the women who confronted him were: thrown out, called a cunt, and booed buzzfeednews.com/article/amberj…
So next time someone says "oh well he isn't a Harvey Weinstein" as if everyone agrees Weinstein is a monster, remember how much more comfortable people are sharing space with a rapist than they are calling one out

Teenage girls being amazing on TikTok is my new favorite thing
I mean... 😍 (thx @carolinecox)
That said, I only come across these from people who share them on Twitter so if someone wants to teach me how to find shit like this on TikTok I would be eternally grateful.

I go on that app and all I get is some guy who yells at his duck

Still processing the powerful discussion we had today in our #MA @ARUSociology session on #DecolonisingtheUniversity. A student shared her experiences of growing up in apartheid South Africa & feeling validated & 'seen' by the reading material. Became emotional as she talked
about how #apartheid affected her secondary & higher education in South Africa. Another shared his experiences of racism & racial abuse at his place of work in London, and how he'd envisioned a different kind of life in the UK when he migrated from Nigeria three years
ago. A third talked about being British in Zimbabwe and how her family had tried to convince her that the 'whites' were there to help the 'black people' and how she learnt to resist the 'civilising' narrative of #empire. A fourth discussed how her godfather rolled his eyes at her

IMAGINE LIFE AS A MILLIONAIRE.

THREAD.

Imagine being a self made millionaire.

Imagine coming from nothing - being given the same hours in your life as everyone else and having used them to make your dreams come true instead of wasting them smoking weed and watching reality TV
Imagine understanding that money isn't important for buying possessions.

Sure.

My Lambo is fun.

But money is important to give you your freedom back. To give you your time back to do whatever you want to do.

Not what you HAVE to do to pay bills.
Life is measured in seconds. You don't want to WASTE them WORKING.

Imagine being retired at 30.

Imagine never setting an alarm clock unless it's to catch a flight to a far flung destination.

I teach all of this and more at Cobratate.com.

But imagine this...

Reading some @NASAhistory, and was curious who this was...
Her name is Poppy Northcutt, and she's the first female engineer to work in Mission Control at @NASA_Johnson #Apollo8.
For half a century, pop culture has immortalized a group of quick-thinking, pocket-protected men as the face of NASA’s mission control room during the Apollo program. But amid this sea of men, was one woman: Frances “Poppy” Northcutt, engineer and return-to-Earth specialist #NASA
