As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

"Death of the artist" means when Amy Tan says "I did not intentionally put numerological symbolism in Joy Luck Club" you can go "ok but unconscious-you is very clever and it's in there anyhow."
It does not mean "it doesn't matter if JKR is a terrible person."

Bullshit alert: some NZ politicians (dishonestly) claiming that the puberty blocker ban is about "saving" kids from "unnecessary" medical interventions and "letting them make up their own minds"
No, that's *what puberty blockers* do. It gives those kids time to work out their own identity.

The penny being discontinued is so Venus in Scorpio. A planet in its detriment does not stand up to the social values- it’s subject to judgements, right or wrong, about its worth. In this case, it’s literal - our once all-copper coin has been rendered worthless - it will no longer exist.

NEW: During the government shutdown, many theories emerged as to what Republicans were up to. Today’s stunning email release may have answered that question: it was all about the Epstein files. Whatever is in them has kept the government closed and Trump awake at night, Marc Elias writes.

Myriad of feelings about this one. It rings hollow considering the place we’re in now, as well as the numerous times that she’s been confronted with this. At the same time, it makes me want to praise the protestors because clearly their persistence is bearing fruit… it ain’t a monumental shift but.
