Picture a Robin DiAngelo training but on the radio
Friend recently said she heard a segment on the Middle Ages and how refreshing it was to hear something not about race. Five minutes in they started talking about race in the Middle Ages.
It’s not that race isn’t important. It is! But it’s absolutely taken over the network and there’s nothing surprising or even nuanced about the way they cover it. It’s like they all went to the same liberal arts schools and absorbed the same messages because they did.
NPR would really benefit by including some folks who grew up in trailer parks or public housing and went to community colleges in their diversity efforts.

Madeline Bilis wrote an honest and well researched piece about a horrible, intractable problem that many people deal with and of course people are being predictably awful to her.
The idea that there are “no bad dogs, only bad trainers” is a myth. Some dogs can’t be rehabbed and even if you can find a no-kill shelter or refuge to take them, a lot of these dogs end up in what is essentially solitary confinement for the rest of their lives. That’s torture.
Kudos to @madelinebilis for writing about what must have been one of the hardest decisions of her life. And if you’ve never lived with a dog that would rip off your face without warning, maybe try to have some empathy for people who have.

Man. People have done some weird shit to me but this is just creepy af. @jokestress why did you publish my family’s names on your weird website?

I cannot recommend @AliceDreger’s Galileo’s Middle Finger enough for the story of Andrea James’s deeply fucked up campaign against @profjmb alone. This person is a menace. amazon.com/Galileos-Middl…
This is who we’re dealing with here so I suppose publishing my wife’s name on her website isn’t that bad alicedreger.com/in_fear Image

To protest the fact that Substack is paying these people I don’t like over a half million dollars I’m moving Moose Nuggets to Ghost unless they also pay me a half million dollars nytimes.com/2021/04/11/bus…
It’s unclear to me how a substack with 1800 paid subscribers is worth 430k but I guess bribery costs

The neo-pronoun thing would be way less annoying if people stopped acting like giving yourself a special label is somehow sacrosanct and deeply meaningful
I’d watch a reality show where Kale and Brayden explain to their grandparents that they now use vamp/vampself pronouns
My pronouns are me/me/me

I’ve never trashed Abigail Shrier or her book (although I have defended her against deplatforming attempts) but this whole saga has been a fantastic example of horseshoe theory.
On that note, I’m going on hike on a beautiful spring day in an area with no phone service, thank god. If you have further complaints, take them up with my intern.
Update: You can see Seattle from the main viewpoint but we all have our flaws.

People like Jude Doyle and Nicole Cliffe and every one else who has tried to smear Jesse will ultimately lose because he isn’t actually guilty of what they’ve accused him of and because he doesn’t need institutions to succeed. But it still has an impact.
Jesse’s first book is coming out next month. It’s not on trans issues at all, but I highly doubt major media outlets will touch it, unless it’s to smear him further. He’s not getting invited on Fresh Air any time soon, and that’s really a shame.
Imagine working on a project for 4 years and the reviews and interviews that sell books won’t be coming because people like Jude Doyle and Nicole Cliffe said you were a stalker. They’re liars, but people believe it anyway and that makes Jesse damaged goods to much of the press.
