Congratulations @lesbrains for this revolution you kickstarted! Onwards! ❤️✊🏽💜
I first read @lesbrains brilliant and necessary review of AD (pinned tweet) in December. It has been thrilling to follow her feminist & proud insistence that the white, racist US publishing industry respect & listen to Chicanx & Latinx voices. Fucking yes!
I am neither Chicanx nor Latinx (though believe me, many people in NYC think I am!), but I have been punching the air and saying fuck yes to everything that @lesbrains has said! In the face of threats, her courage and general fuck you I will not shut up have been brilliant to see
Myriam fought and so many joined the revolution that will force US publishing to do and be better for us all. Love and solidarity @lesbrains 💜✊🏽❤️ Thank you for your fight 🔥🔥🔥

Yours truly, in front of the White House, delivering the response of the Fuck the Patriarchy Party to the #SOTU 🎥 @rerutled
Dr. Stella Nyanzi, a feminist scholar and activist in #Uganda, is a hero of mine. She is in prison for “offending” her country’s longtime dictator. I write about her in the chapter on Profanity in my latest book.

This is not the time for civility, decorum, or courtesy. Fuck That
“We don’t have guns or money. But I can still think and insult and abuse,” Dr. Stella Nyanzi

So I abandoned the book I was hate-reading and I am now reading this which I plan on finishing.
In 2019, my reading goal was to read a book per week and by the end of the year, I’d read 52 novels. I read a few non-fiction books on the side.

I thought I wanted to keep that going this year but I now want to mix things up a bit with non-fiction and poetry.
#2020ReadingGoals
There was something certain and soothing to focusing on novels. I was happy to give them most of my reading energy because god knows there’s enough “non-fiction” right here in TwitterLand. But there are memoirs and there’s so much poetry I need! #2020ReadingGoals

Bullshit and homophobic: Northwestern University in Doha says they cancelled an event by @mashrou3leila - whose singer is openly gay - because of “safety concerns.” Qatar Foundation says it’s not because of security but because of #Qatar’s laws and customs news.trust.org/item/202002051…
Members of the Lebanese indie rock band Mashrou' Leila had been scheduled to take part in a discussion at Northwestern University's Qatar campus on Tuesday, but the university moved the event to its U.S. campus after hostile online comments against Mashrou' Leila's appearance.
“This particular event was cancelled due to the fact that it patently did not correlate with this context,” #Qatar Foundation, a state-linked non-profit body in the conservative Gulf Arab state and the American University’s partner in Qatar. #MashrouLeila

Nasrdin Dchar schreef een brief op feestboek, naar aanleiding van de '4 Marokkanen tweet" van Baudet.

Hij vraagt of Baudet weet in wat voor land hij leeft. Nasrdin legt uit dat hij niet kinderlijk naïef is, omdat hij weet dat Baudet hem nooit als een Nederlander zal zien.
En guess what? #Ad noemt Nasrdin Dchar in hun bericht "de Mocro Maffia-acteur"

U vraagt of er in Nederland een probleem met racisme? U vraagt of landgenoten met Marokkaanse wortels gediscrimineerd worden?

#AD heeft het antwoord: JA, en niet alleen door mr. dr. Baudet
Oftewel, #ad waarom schreven jullie niet "Gouden Kalf winnaar, voor beste acteur Nasrdin Dchar"?

After taking more than enough alcohol, John's mouth was running faster than Usain Bolt. He quickly left the house to go visit his friends but his highness doubled as he was welcomed with weed.

A THREAD
It was a cool Sunday evening after John's sister's birthday. She threw a small party and asked their neighbor (pastor) to make her some local wine with almost no alcohol because she'd be inviting her church members.
Pastor nodded his head but blocked his ears. His plans were not good at all. Without measurement, he added more than enough alcohol to the 50 liters of wine.

Sister
There's alcohol in this thing oh.. Plenty

Pastor
It's for preservation

John
Eh… True, it is.

Review grants? Ever wonder about best practices for doing it well? This is the thread for you! Below I outline review strategies that I use and I hope that the reviewers of my grants also use. /begin thread
First, if you have the option, don’t say yes to reviewing a grant outside your area of expertise or if you don’t have the time. Suggest other reviewers. Of course this is not always possible when serving on a panel. Grant reviews take time- make sure you have some to give.
Second, read and print out the review instructions and know what format the review will take. Are there questions that need to be answered? Keep these in mind and have the instructions handy during your review.

GO: “Trump has surrounded himself with grifters, scumbags, con-men, and traitors.”

Voters are sick big money super-pacs manipulating puppet candidates who set policies & enact laws that serve their special interests over the best interests & will of the people.
