Clearing out my dad’s house and I now have a ton of photos by which to prod various generations of @Harpers editors and interns, starting with my own intern cohort
This was when novelty Chia Pets first took “off”
Sure, now he’s a fancy pants political editor at NBC but back then @mmurraypolitics was just East Village dart board Jesus
seen here in the most 90s intern shot ever
Where are we going and why is Ben in a tux? @lmrattner?
This shot could only happen at a @Harpers anniversary party
The Caucasity
Not all all stages (think @patricksymmes may get credit/blame)
Bonus @wcp content, specicially @davidplotz circa…1995?

My dad save an entire, substantial, file folder of letters written to him and @NatGeo protesting the inclusion of photos of nudes that ran with his article on…the Sistine Chapel
Having spent an unpaid summer internship working in the @NatGeo Research Correspondent department, I can confirm that most correspondence was about cranky letters from old people and school kids asking about banana slug penises. But this paper CC trail!

Ask your healthcare provider and/or workers themselves if they are vaccinated.

You have the right to know if they're putting you in danger.
If you go on a healthcare provider/hospital/HMO site and they list COVID precautions and it's all about testing and temp checks and cleaning surfaces, chances are very high they're not requiring staff to be vaccinated.
The FDA fully approving the vaccines would speed this along. After a BILLION people have been vaccinated, those who are in health care but refuse them are in the wrong industry. nytimes.com/2021/07/21/hea…

Does any film buff out there know why the Life article that inspired Dog Day Afternoon isn't online? Man, it's a trip: garywarnett.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/boysba…
IRL, "Sonny" did end up paying for "Leon's" sex reassignment surgery, out of the life rights he got from film/article.

She then marries someone else, but continued to visit him in prison.
My film club has watched a lot of 70s classics that are pretty cringey (or worse) with hindsight, but on the three big themes of this movie—LGBTQ visibility, class struggles despair, police violence and overreach—it feels pretty damn fresh.

Am I the only one who thinks about how they would word the genie's three wishes requests and fix things without unintended consequences/externalities?
Don't want to fix global warming by Thanosing away half of humanity...
Ever ponder the Gore wins the 2000 election alternate timeline(s)?

The ginned up hysteria over teaching the truth about slavery and bigotry is not just an attack on the truth, it's an attempt to drive Black educators from the classroom. Great story by @isabelaalhadeff : motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
Moral panic over critical race theory isn't *just* happening in North Carolina, of course. Still, it's hard not to draw a straight line between the attacks on Rodney D. Pierce and those on @nhannahjones.
