NONFICTION AUTHORS:
Are you curious about having your book fact-checked? As a science & sociology book fact-checker, I have many thoughts. This is not exhaustive, and others may disagree, but here's my little author guide to FCs ⬇️

Fact-checkers and editors ⬇️
This week I referenced AIPAC’s outsized power in US politics and someone responded “whoa careful, that’s an antisemitic stereotype.” This was a smart, kind friend who just reads a lot of NYT. The chilling effect of the misinformation out of these media companies is alarming
Pitch: reality tv show where the tech boys of SLU have to work service industry jobs for a week. We all watch them not know how to do anything and giggle.
Too much of the feminism that is making pussy hats and blue friendship bracelets and not enough of the kind that is materially improving people’s lives through mutual aid contributions of money and labor

if you are someone who was able to overlook the genocide and cast a vote for kamala harris, then you already understand how a conservative was able to overlook Trump's extremism to vote for him.
Fantasizing about all the revolutionary, life-saving policies that Biden could push through right now with no electoral consequences if he actually cared at all about protecting our rights, our “democracy,” etc.
Are you in a better, more resilient, less ignorant place than you were after the 2016 election? Who do you have to thank for that education? Today is a good day to compensate them.
As long as the liberals are raging, I’m actually mad that more of y’all in safe states didn’t vote 3rd party to get one past that 5% mark that could have helped move us toward alternatives to the failing two-party system

Weird that when both parties run to the right, the right-wing party wins.

No, deadass. I need all you with some sense to digest this, because this much is evident:
At some point the Dem strategists very deliberately decided that losing on Zionism was better than giving even an inch to anti-Zionism.
Not many people know why the election is always the first Tuesday of November. The founding fathers actually chose that day so that the American people could eat leftover Halloween candy while awaiting election results.

tap the sign and then join an organization
ALT A Ruth Wilson Gilmore quotation about abolition is the caption for a still from the popular television program Gilmore Girls. The caption states: "Electoral politics are unlikely to be the mode through which people relieve themselves of the constant, repetitive crises that come with capitalism saving capitalism from capitalism."

If Kamala loses it's gonna be so weird to watch liberals start protesting the same things they're defending now.

my fear is that kamala is not seen as someone or something to resist. just like obama.
long four years ahead either way.
Living in Seattle is such a trip because everyone claims to be all morally enlightened and warriors for human rights and then they invite you to their We ❤️ Kamala Harris party
where are the all election polls that compare third-party presidential candidates? considering that many people are strategically voting this year to nudge a third party over that important 5% mark, this seems like a huge failure of news publishers to serve readers.
