today is the only day you can post this

A classic Tumblr post: 

Kim-Jong-Chill: "I need feminism because when Jesus does a magic trick it's a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake." 

Mattheuponium: "fabulous" 

Tockthewatchdog: "I mean they did also kill Jesus. That was a pretty significant thing that happened. Like, I understand where you're coming from here but they very much did kill Jesus."

Lost in the conversation about the "merits" of "talented" men creeping on young women is how whatever contributions they have made to the medium is completely drowned by all the contributions their creeping has impeded. Women creeped on by their mentors/idols often just quit their dreams, betrayed.

Congratulations, Sara!

🗃️ Here's the thing about that AHA summary of history ed in TIME & why it's so damaging in this moment. Classrooms have always been the most negotiable spaces in schooling. Of course teachers go off (text)book. Of course teachers put their lessons together. This is not new in history ed. 1/

Super pleased to get a notification for this article this morning. It's one of the things I'm most proud of writing, and it makes some pretty big claims about Tudor politics at Westminster. Thanks so so much to everyone who helped along the way- you're amazing. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I’m making two points, neither of which is any kind of claim about her private medical business. 1. This was a public relations disaster. 2. Royalty as an institution licenses public interest in the very bodies of royals (cf Kantorowicz etc) & this is hard to reconcile with the right to privacy.

4 years ago today, the WHO declared COVID a pandemic. Today, we will rightfully remember the tens of millions of people who have died. We must never forget. But we must also remember COVID is still killing, disabling, and excluding too many. We are still in a pandemic. We still need to act.
