Female students have been banned from Universities in Afghanistan with immediate effect, the Taliban has said.

Women’s rights being disregarded, yet again. I’m incandescent with rage for Afghan women & girls, they deserve equal access to education 😡

Hi Folks! Trying this thing out and here's my #histodon #introduction:

I'm a history prof at a small private college deep in the blue ridge mountains of western NC.

I teach a wide range of US courses but my scholarship focuses on capitalism, railroads, southern history, and folklore. I'm researching/writing my 2nd book (on engineer/folk hero Casey Jones) and you can check out my 1st here: https://uncpress.org/book/9781469652818/engines-of-redemption/

Also into music and various outdoorsy stuff (hiking, skiing, cycling)

Here I am with happy face in the Yukon winter wonderland after the -40 cold night, the power outage and no heat. Weather people said it felt like -50. I am smiling or at least trying to 😀. I am loving the frost on my beard too. I am dispatching joy to you as well 🧡

As seen on Facebook (irony intended):

Brilliant journalism dunk. 🏀

Sorry I haven’t been able to get back to you, I’ve been pretty busy chasing this cherry tomato around my plate with a fork. Almost. Got. It.

Fediverse: I’m looking for places to donate some money before the end of the year—especially interested in supporting trans and other Black women and women of color, indigenous sovereignty, global climate justice, reproductive rights. What are your suggestions of effective organizations? Please #boost so I can get more ideas! #donation #justicework (@BlackAzizAnansi can you help?)

Most people figure when they get to their 60s, it’s time to slow down, take stock, and hit cruise control.
That’s not what I did.
I came out of the closet, figured out this social media thing, and then made my Broadway debut in my 70s. Now I’m taking on London in my 80s!

To see me live and on stage in the West End, get tickets before they’re gone! https://Allegiancemusical.com

I’m not that mad we didn’t get the Jetsons flying cars yet, but c’mon the robot maid we should be there by now.

@bkm I wish I worked a job that didn't require me to wear pants 😝😂

Hope Hicks was the unwitting star of the Jan. 6 hearings yesterday. Just how damaging was her testimony and evidence to Trump? My piece today explores the question of Hope when to comes to indicting and convicting Trump.

They re-branded pretty quickly... can't imagine why.

Been five days since Twitter suspended a bunch of journalists, including me, for tweeting out factual reporting. And we're still suspended.

CNN's @donieosullivan, NYT's Ryan Mac and I can't access Twitter until we delete specific tweets that they said included "private information" but were actually just reporting.

Journalists Linette Lopez and Susan Li, who also covered Musk, are still suspended. No explanation given.
