Prove it

Washington Spirit games provide a field for Trump resistance Women's soccer fans have taken to the stands with banners, flags, and pro-D.C. chants.

Pro-D.C. activism at Audi Field was inevitable, says Meredith Bartley, the president of the Spirit Squadron, one of the team’s supporter groups. “We’ve got folks representing all around the stadium.” 51st.news/dc-spirit-tr...

The #freedc chant was very audible in the broadcast. #woso thanks to @spiritsquadron.bsky.social

Hi Tripp, I'm a reporter with the Guardian US, based in New York. I hope this finds you well. I'm reaching out about your most recent article and its inclusion of the claim, "Young Chinese women have small fingers." What is the source of this information? The full sentence attributes the claim that such small fingers make them "nimble" and therefore "valuable" to iPhone manufacturing to unnamed "supply chain experts", but it's unclear whether those same experts are the source of the claim that young Chinese women have small fingers in the first place. Are they? How do they know? Is there a study you can cite? And are we talking length? Circumference? Is it question of muscle strength? Or bone density? What is the normative range for finger size, to what extent do young Chinese women fall outside of it, and how do you - or your sources - know this?

Incidentally, how are you defining "Chinese" in this sentence? As I'm sure you and your supply chain experts know, China is a large country with dozens of ethnic minorities. It is hard to imagine that hand size is a trait linked to national identity, but the lack of specificity leaves the question open. Did hand size among Han Chinese living in Taiwan vs the PRC diverge after the civil war? Could this be a function of political economy rather than a genetic trait? So many questions. Relatedly, how are you defining "young"? Do Chinese women's fingers grow as they age? Or is size not actually the meaningful characteristic? It's hard to tell from the information you provided! I ask all these questions because unless you have answers to them, I am afraid that you may have portrayed racist pseudoscience as if it were fact in an article for the New York Times. If that wasn't your intent, I hope you will reflect upon the long history of certain forces using race science claims to attribute suitability for certain types of labor to certain types of people, and amend your article. Best, Julia Wong

welp I sent an email

but...

Shouldn't the hate be directed at Drake's fans?

This moment must be a turning point.

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

I'm glad you're here. I follow so many politics and legal journalists and your posts are a welcome relief. I share them with friends.

I, also Jewish, googled for an update on the Pope's health this morning. (Granted, I had just watched Conclave...)

Does anyone have a video or GIF of Hal knocking Ryan out of her shoe (around 8:35 pm eastern)? @gingers4hal.bsky.social? #NWSL #WashingtonSpirit

in foreground of photo, a metal and black knee brace on a gray ledge. behind that, a glass and steel wall with the words "Democracy ... a great word, whose history remains unwritten, because that history has yet to be enacted. - Walt Whitmanm author, 1871." And behind the wall, an open space with counters, chairs, and people under long horizontal lights

And thank you for reminding us that, because of the chickens, we've been transformed.

I have 2 artworks of chickens so, yeah, I guess I'm Team Chicken forever.

This showed up in my feed above a MoMa artbot image that I will now think of as the Pronoun Circle

An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration. Tracy Barbutes/Special to the Chronicle

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Today in abandoned things: a tiny red Mercedes convertible. Missing a tire. Fits a doll? In H st at City Center, Washington DC

I recently read and enjoyed How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Creatures by @sabs.bsky.social. Part accessible critter writing, part memoir.

And a picture showing scale. Also - I was at Kennedy Center to see Fidelio, Beethoven’s only opera. It was wonderful but ends tonight. I highly recommend it to folks in DC area!

JFK agrees. (Took this picture at the Kennedy Center this week)

Assessing the beauty of a woman (pretty or ugly, attractive?, fuckable?, desirable?) has NO place in assessing a professor as a professor. It demeans all women who want to assessed on their merit. Rating a prof in the terms we assess possible sex partners is misogyny,
