“conspiracy” comes from latin conspirare which literally means “to breathe together/sound in unison” so technically a good choir or woodwind or brass section is a conspiracy

I can’t get over him calling the New York fucking Times “fake news”. As if 165 years of solid reporting and a community of the worlds most reputable investigative journalists, is somehow irrelevant.

And to top it off, his primary source of information is Fox News and Breitbart!? Ok Donald.

All I really need to say:

In canceling Milo’s book contract, Simon & Schuster made a business decision the same way they made a business decision when they decided to publish that man in the first place. When his comments about pedophilia/pederasty came to light, Simon & Schuster realized it would cost them more money to do business with Milo than he could earn for them. They did not finally “do the right thing” and now we know where their threshold, pun intended, lies. They were fine with his racist and xenophobic and sexist ideologies. They were fine with his transphobia, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. They were fine with how he encourages his followers to harass women and people of color and transgender people online. Let me assure you, as someone who endured a bit of that harassment, it is breathtaking in its scope, intensity, and cruelty but hey, we must protect the freedom of speech. Certainly, Simon & Schuster was not alone in what they were willing to tolerate. A great many people were perfectly comfortable with the targets of Milo’s hateful attention until that attention hit too close to home.

Because I’ve been asked, I will not be publishing my book with Simon & Schuster now that they have dropped Milo. After I pulled my book, they changed the release date of Dangerous from March to June 13, the day my next book, Hunger, comes out. I said nothing because I was neither threatened nor concerned but it did reinforce for me that this was not a company I wanted to do business with. My protest stands. Simon & Schuster should have never enabled Milo in the first place. I see what they are willing to tolerate and I stand against all of it. Also, I’ve received far better offers for How to Be Heard from other publishers.

There are some who will spin the cancellation of this book contract as a failure of the freedom of speech but such is not the case. This is yet another example of how we are afforded the freedom of speech but there is no freedom from the consequences of what we say.

more than 100 headstones were vandalized and damaged at chesed shel emeth cemetary in university city, mo on the same day jewish community centers around the country received bomb threats, and officials are still wondering whether to call it a hate crime 🤔🤔

[exrayspex]

“The cemetery would like to pay for us much of the cleanup and repairs as possible, but they’re still assessing the damage.”  The headstones were broken and toppled to the ground, and repairing them will likely be very expensive. Donate to Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetary directly here, or through All Nations Church, which is matching donations up to 500 dollars, here.

The vote on climate change denier Scott Pruitt for head of the EPA could happen as soon as TODAY - and at least one Republican is recognizing how dangerous he is. 

Let’s keep up the pressure. You can use our climate change script to demand your senators oppose #PollutingPruitt at www.weekly-resistance.online.

And since it’s clear the Trump administration can’t be trusted to address the global disaster we face with climate change, you can demand your governor steps up and pushes on climate action at this link.

You can read more about why Scott Pruitt, self-described leading advocate against the EPA, would be a disaster here.

some scholars think that the catalog of ships in the iliad is included in part so that the bard could improvise and stick in the name and homeland of the people he was singing to and make them sound important

so when you think about it, the iliad is, in a way, ancient greek self-insert OC fic
