Hey y’all, my girlfriends and I are running together tomorrow in our undies for @CupidsUndieRun in downtown D.C. to raise money for research to help end neurofibromatosis (NF)! If you can spare a modest donation, help us out! Donate here: my.cupids.org/CharlotteClymer
Wow, y’all are amazing. Already five donations to help the Children’s Tumor Foundation research neurofibromatosis!

Everyone who donates below will receive the RT of your choice on a tweet (and a follow of course).

We’re now up to $5,304!!! I am making a spreadsheet right now to keep track of everyone’s donations and ensure all rewards are met! This is so cool!!! ❤️

At some point, I need to sleep.

In the meantime, please keep donating!

Right here: my.cupids.org/CharlotteClymer
Good morning! We’re now up to $7,723. That’s how much y’all have raised since last night, in just 12 hours. I’m blown away!

There are still a few hours left to donate before the run begins, so please consider it! Donate here: my.cupids.org/CharlotteClymer
My goodness, we’re now at $9,589!!! It’s a few hours until the run, and it would be amazing if we hit $10,000 before then.

Let’s all pitch-in for the Children’s Tumor Foundation!

Donate here: my.cupids.org/CharlotteClymer
Friends, we have officially hit $10,000!!! And we literally did it overnight. I am amazed by y’all. My Sunday morning is going to be spent emailing all of you. 😂

The run starts in a few hours and I absolutely encourage y’all to donate if you haven’t yet: my.cupids.org/CharlotteClymer
Okay, y’all, we’ve raised $11,350. I mean… wow. We did that over 14 hours. I can’t thank y’all enough for stepping up to help the Children’s Tumor Foundation.

I’m gonna start the run soon (pics to come), but I will honor all donations for the rest of the day! ❤️
More to come! 😂😂😂

This isn't about "free speech". The government is not punishing Joe Rogan. Private citizens are deciding they no longer want to give their own money and content to Spotify while Joe Rogan fans apparently believe that he and Spotify are entitled to our money and artists' content.
Comedians should be able to say just about whatever they want without fear of being arrested or otherwise punished by the government.

But that doesn't mean Rogan or any other comedian is entitled to the platforms we use, the money we spend, or, least of all, our agreement.
Rogan's fans aren't angry because Rogan's "truth telling" is being attacked. They're angry because they're seriously under the belief that "free speech" somehow means Rogan is exempt from criticism and consequences (and by extension, his fans) just by virtue of having an opinion.

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:

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.
