“I support watching Megan Rapinoe lose.”

“Only pro-police brutality athletes represent America.”
Judging from conservative reactions to Megan Rapinoe, to qualify for the American Olympic Team, an athlete must:

— support police brutality
— sleep with a person they approve

But but but “don’t politicize the Olympics” etc

#Tokyo2020
Apparently the “America isn’t racist and the American Dream is real and we welcome all people because we’re the party of personal freedom and values” brigade is also happy Megan Rapinoe lost because —

Her hair is purple.

That’s…special.
Wow, GREAT point!

It’s crazy that our taxes provide police officers money and support that includes access to health insurance, housing, and retirement — while they use lethal force against unarmed people, and even kill them.

Talk about turning their backs on the flag!
Wild! The conservative hatred for Megan Rapinoe has led to support for trans people — at least that’s something!

Or they love police brutality and racism more than they hate trans people). #Olympics #Tokyo2020

Get ready because it’s “BRAG ABOUT THE KID” time again!

Lil Homie made this piece of art yesterday. He’s 13.

[And if your jaw’s on the floor — wait until you see the next Tweet] ImageImage
That piece of art Kid made yesterday is a revision of a piece he’s done before in:

2018 (he was 10).
2019 (he was 11).
2021 (he’s now 13).

That’s insane progress (regardless of how biased I am). ImageImageImageImage
I have permission to plug my amazing lil artist's Instagram: instagram.com/rredsofa/

Please follow him!

[If you do, it will help me bully him into uploading more incredible art because otherwise he rarely does - I NEED IT IN MY LIFE AND SO DO YOU]

Please consider subscribing to my Patreon so I can afford the Xanax necessary for full-time work on white supremacist infiltration (and all the fun that entails: see below) -- without insurance or employment.

Sort of joking, but also...not really.

Many of you constantly bully me to advertise my Patreon (even the thought of being seen as a grifter is beyond gross to me), so for new followers who don't know the *why* here:

I'm on Patreon and have no job because... I'm very good at the job.

I’m working on this project to make publicly accessible a huge white supremacist data, which many of you already know.

Today I emptied my bank account on another 5 TB external drive (already at about 14).

So irritated I have to look at this crap, let alone spend money on it.

Now back to this heinously depressing data set of leaked Neo Nazi communications I’m working with.

Have a good one, y’all.
Related: I’ve lost count of how many Nazi Telegram channels are exclusively devoted to doxxing and destroying other Nazis.

“Aryan unity” — such a thing to behold.
As @EryqOuithaqueue reminded me, my “Never Ending Neo Nazi Nonsense” thread series here is way overdue for an update.

You might have heard of Matt Heimbach’s Nazi love rectangle (in which he banged his mother-in-law — and much more): aka “Night of the Wrong Wives.”

Stay tuned.

She was already the GOAT, so we need to invent a new term. I’m still trying to acquire the wisdom @Simone_Biles has at her age.

You can’t help anyone (friend, child, partner, country) without first taking care of yourself.

The Olympics is not war. #SimonBiles
You’re a legend for many reasons, @Simone_Biles.

The strength it takes for women (especially young, and especially from underrepresented and marginalized communities) to love and value ourselves enough to say “This is my limit”: radical & beautiful.

Definition of role-model.

I happen to fit some of those categories also, so don’t assume or project.

But since the publication who tweeted this article is dedicated to higher education, and the article addresses that context, that’s why I’m commenting on that particular aspect of the pandemic.
And, because of factors my critic above mentions - like homelessness, poverty, and related marginalization mentioned and not mentioned):

I wouldn’t even alive today, let alone an academic, or able to help others, without mentors who took the time to care.

And that’s the POINT.
As you know from my thread, I’m clearly not the same as “higher education.”

I was homeless in high school, from a family too poor to afford trailer doors, so I’m aware of the dire state of the true working class.

Your criticisms are why I do what I do. And that’s the point.

“The COVID pandemic hit female academics the hardest,” says @chronicle — asking what universities plan to do.

Like me, many have stellar CVs & records lost jobs but can’t land new ones due to massive budget cuts.

Hire us.

COVID budget cuts don’t just hurt unemployed professors. They hurt students.

Not a day goes by without hearing from a former student asking if I’ve got a new one because they want to follow me for a PhD, asking for mentorship, advice, etc.

And I lost my job a year ago.
I worked since I was 14, and taught university students since starting my PhD - 15 years ago.

I’ve never lost any job, or had trouble getting full-time academic positions - even in an already nightmarish market.

26 years.

Until COVID. #AcademicTwitter
