I ended my Spotify subscription. It's a bummer, but there are too many other great music streaming apps out there to continue paying for this service without the guilt of where my money is going (and not going, e.g. artists). And I don't think I'll miss it. Easy decision.
It took me less than five minutes to cancel my Spotify subscription (via desktop) and sign-up for Apple Music, which has a 3-month free trial going. If you're looking for a way to put a bit of cash back in your personal budget for 3 months and listen to tunes, there you go.
There are many other options, and it's easy to switch from Spotify. Check out this helpful article from @joshgnosis:

Oh, here's a really cool thing you may not know: you can transfer your playlists from Spotify to your new streaming app. The article discusses that. Definitely check it out.

Here's the fun bind that trans people are in when it comes to conversations about why people cared about Rogan spreading COVID disinfo enough to boycott but not enough about Rogan attacking trans rights to boycott:
If trans people speak out against Rogan, not really knowing if cis people are going to back us up, we risk being viciously harassed, and thus, we are challenged to wonder if speaking out risks more than it helps.
But if trans people don't speak out against Rogan and cis people claim not to have known about his extensive history of anti-trans propaganda, cis folks can say "well, hey, we didn't know. No one told us."

For about a year and a half, I worked at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum here in D.C. as a visitor services representative. On my first day, I was walking with my supervisor, who nudged me at one point and said: "See that guy? That's Henry. Make sure you talk to him." (thread)
Henry Greenbaum was born in Poland in 1928. His father passed away early in the war, his mother and two of his sisters were murdered at Treblinka, and three more of his sisters died in a nearby labor camp. Only Henry, his sister Dina, and brothers Zachary and David survived.
Henry survived that labor camp and then time at Auschwitz and then Flossenbürg and had he and his fellow Survivors not been liberated enroute on their death march, he would have likely been murdered at Dachau.

The D.A.R.E. program, as numerous studies have found, was abysmally ineffective. That's unsurprising to those of us who went through it as kids. It was very well funded window dressing for incompetent politicians who failed to understand root causes or didn't care about them.
In fact, some studies have shown that children who went through the D.A.R.E. program were more likely to use drugs than those who hadn't been in the program.
I don't pretend to know how "Euphoria" influences teens, but it's incredibly rich for a failed and harmful program that came out of a failed and harmful War on Drugs started by a failed and harmful presidency to lecture a TV show on what kids really need.

Maybe sit this one out.

I've been feeling really bummed out lately about the world. You probably feel the same. So, aside from the bulk of Charlotte's Web Thoughts (my essays), I decided to launch a weekly newsletter component that focuses on good things happening in the world!

charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/introducing-…
The newsletter component is called "The Goods", and I intend for it to be the kind of thing that makes readers smile every week and reminds them why we're fighting for a better world.
The stories featured in "The Goods" this week:

1. Amy Schneider's historic (and ongoing) winning streak on Jeopardy.

2. Rachel Balkovec's hiring as the first woman professional baseball team manager in the minor leagues.

3. Councilmember Andrea Jenkins makes history AGAIN.

I've worked numerous minimum wage jobs, and I've worked in salaried positions. I know for a fact the colleagues I had in "low skilled" positions could do office work. I'm rarely as certain that some salaried colleagues I've known would last more than a week in a minimum wage job.
It takes considerable skill to deal with asshole customers on a daily basis. It takes considerable skill to navigate work environments with mediocre HR policies. It takes considerable skill to juggle minimum wage labor when it's not even enough to live on most of the time.
And by the way: all this labor is needed to keep this country afloat. Many people who haven't worked minimum wage jobs forget that their standard of living would cease to exist without the millions and millions of low wage workers propping up the American economy.

I believe it’s impossible not to like @NidaAllam. In our conversations, the 28 year-old elected official comes across as thoroughly honest, hardworking, and brilliant.

Did I mention she’s a genuinely kind person? That, too.

(thread)
Last year, Allam was elected to the Durham County Board of Commissioners in North Carolina, receiving the most votes of any commission candidate (voters could choose five), the first Muslim woman elected to any office in the state AND completing the first all-woman Board.
This followed her historic election in 2017 as one of the Vice Chairs of the North Carolina Democratic Party and appointment as Chair of the Durham Mayor’s Council for Women, the first Muslim American to achieve both.
