There is no obligation for any of is here to help others monetize and influence. None. That entire industry was created by Twitter and we do not have to reproduce it.

If an account says it follows everyone back who asks but the account has over 200,000 followers and follows fewer than 2,000, then that, my friends, is engagement farming

I think one of the worst quirks of online spaces is the idea that if someone doesn't post about something, they don't care about it. It encourages performative posting often makes things worse.
I care a lot. I just don't want to add another poorly-informed voice. I'm reading & thinking.

The denial of the medical complicatedness of pregnancy is of a piece with the notion that pregnancy is a physically passive experience for the pregnant woman, something akin to charging your phone—and not the exhausting and taxing process that it is.
one crucial development in the ideology of anti-abortion politics is the widespread belief that pregnancy runs essentially on autopilot and no serious medical attention is ever required. allows anti-abortion zealots to ignore the fact that their policies produce maternity care deserts
staffing shortages (related to Dobbs) and refusing to expand Medicaid has destroyed another 3 labor & delivery units in Alabama. some mothers will have to drive 100 miles to get to a hospital with one www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

Boston people, do Neil Gaiman a solid and mask up tonight!
I'm doing a reading (well, lots of readings and answers to questions) tonight in Boston, at the Colonial Theater. This is your reminder that there's COVID around (I've had 2 family members go down with it in the last 2 weeks) & nobody will mind if you come masked or wear a mask, least of all me.
