Why does Egypt keep the border with Gaza closed?
Why are there more Palestinian refugees in Jordan than in Palestine?
Why doesn't Lebanon grant citizenship to Palestinian refugees?
Do Arab countries really support Palestine?
It's not as it seems:

I learned more about my body while trying to conceive than I’d ever been taught—information that can also be used *not* to conceive.
That info is the birthright of all girls, women, and non-binary/trans people with uteruses.
I highly recommend this book:

As of just now, AskHistorians has taken its forums offline to protest @Reddit's policies regarding API and third-party developers.
You may well be thinking: why has such a dry-sounding issue managed to spark one of the largest user revolts in social media history?
Well... 🧵

So my work as an historian is archival and based in the research that I love, but it also is informed by a very personal way of knowing. I got the opportunity to bring that all together in Black Folk! I am so excited to share it with you all! I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Why am I not surprised that pre-war British intellectuals hated tinned food? Salmon for the rich (then), heaven forbid that the rest could now open a can for this formerly elite treat.

This was one of the hardest stories I've ever had the misfortune of writing.
The entire time Amy and I were writing it, we struggled to fathom the jail medical staff's response. The only logical conclusion after years of working on carceral reforms is that reforms don't work.🧵
A horrifying story of birth in Houston jail. "After almost 5 days in a quarantine cell, I couldn’t take the pain anymore. I went to medical w/ contractions 2 days in a row only to be turned away both times. Saying I was faking it or dehydrated." Thread:teenvogue.com/story/giving-b…

"After almost 5 days in quarantine, I couldn’t take the pain anymore. I went to medical w/ contraction 2 days in a row-in agony helped by another female inmate-only to be turned away both times, saying I was faking it or dehydrated. They never checked for dilation or anything."

Judges and enforcers know this, even when they don't admit it, which is why they spend so much effort on set-dressing - robes and gavels and somber paneling and formal language. Deep down, they're theater kids with pretensions. 27/

Wayne Shorter, my best friend, left us with courage in his heart, love and compassion for all, and a seeking spirit for the eternal future. He was ready for his rebirth. As it is with every human being, he is irreplaceable . . .

Just writing somethin as beautiful and mysterious as this is an achievement all it’s own. It’s really hard to listen to this track just one time and move on to another. But a lot of his compositions are like that. The melody stays with you on a cellular level. #WayneShorter
