The movie “It Ends With Us” and the book it was based on have been criticized for glamorizing intimate partner violence. @thetyee’s Jeevan Sangha writes about what the film gets right — and where it needs to do better. “I wonder what it would take for celebrity production teams to learn and act on the work that local organizations specializing in addressing and preventing sexual assault and intimate partner violence do every day,” she writes. “If they could, ‘It Ends with Us’ would be a different film.”

50 years ago, Boston began to desegregate its schools and bus Black students across the city. This led to two years of protests and riots. @gbhnews reports on another story that played out in the shadows — the busing of Chinese students who had recently arrived in the U.S. from Chinatown to Boston’s North End.

How can poets write about the unspeakable horrors in Palestine? Gabriel Fine writes for @TexasObserver about poetry’s function in wartime as a beacon of moral clarity, and the work of writers including himself, Fady Joudah, Mosab Abu Toha and Refaat Alareer, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike last year.

Four Thieves Vinegar Collective is an anarchist collective that teaches people how to make low-cost versions of pharmaceuticals — a philosophy they call “right to repair for your body.” @404mediaco’s @jasonkoebler spoke to chief spokesperson Mixæl Swan Laufer about the group’s motivation, technology, and his hopes that they could eventually disband. “Charging astronomical prices to people who are dying is immoral, and Four Thieves seeks to normalize the idea of making some types of medicine yourself,” writes Koebler.

For @thexylom, Ellie Rose Mattoon writes about Anatomical Venuses — wax models that were once used to teach female anatomy, and the ongoing issue with gendered images in medicine. “As late as 1986, an analysis of anatomical textbooks showed that 11% of gendered images outside of the chapter detailing the reproductive system were of women. Never mind that women have different skeletons, different manifestations of cardiac disease, and different rates of drug metabolism. The percentage of female images among images that are gendered in anatomy textbooks rose to an average of 32% in a 1994 analysis, then crept to 36% in a 2017 one.”

He was bullied pretty severely.
The whole “integration” should’ve been planned better. The kids should’ve had a heads up about what to expect.
Could’ve reduced some racism if the students had been humanized beforehand. Not saying it would’ve ended all racism!! Just saying…. Could’ve had an impact

School mass shooters often display warning signs well before they open fire. How can schools and police take preventive action to save lives?
Simply criminalizing threats increases the risk for violence by worsening the grievances. But even if investigators don’t have enough evidence for an arrest (as was the case in Georgia), they can still monitor students and connect them to mental health services.

Another introductory #Python video: creating Python programs.
Toward the end I briefly address something I see new Python users struggle with all the time: the difference between the REPL and your system's command line.

Okay, this is stupid weird. I have been in one (1) anthology. I produced my piece early, I made sure to include answers to all the questions, I posted on my very few social media sites both with my own enthusiastic words and the pre-written stuff the anthology organizers gave me.
Why the hell *wouldn't I?* I don't understand the lack of response you're getting; it's so confusing.
I want promotion. I am here to give you promotion if you need it.

@JoanGrey That's my thought too! For my first anthology, I really hustled to get the book in bookstores and libraries, posted about it every where, and did everything the publisher wanted me to and then some. I was PUMPED to be somewhere I did not produce. That's why it's also stupid weird to me too.
A writer friend is in another anthology and their experience is worse than mine! Most writers aren't doing anything! WHY WHY WHY???

Excellent, but highly disturbing study on the long-term decline in insect populations in a pristine ecosystem, and the clear link to #climatechange
Does anyone else find it creepy that the press covers the fundraising as if that matters more than candidates' policy proposals, and so gleefully?
Haha JK rhetorical question
You will not see the for-profit press cover "money out of politics" in good faith. Where do you think all that campaign money goes?
