"In a 2009 paper examining large American cities, Kubrin and her coauthor found that “cities that experienced increases in immigration from 1980 to 2000 also experienced a decrease in violent crime rates,” even after controlling for other variables."

Anyone who makes excuses for Rowling's media team inviting Epstein a decade after his conviction would excuse anything. You don't have to listen to them.

Striking at American chauvinism is one thing, but I don't think mystifying Trump's expansionism and subsituting analysis of capitalist interests for cheap cultural dunks is a good idea.

I do not like being an online social justice personality. I don’t want to be seen fighting alone, or trotted out to win an inane argument in a media fandom blog. I want material change that’s not Instagrammable or summed up on a podcast. I worry people can’t envision that now.

From @pluralistic :

"Just a QR Code" is a new site that generates QR codes, operating entirely in your browser, without transmitting any data to a server or trying to cram ads into your eyeballs. The fact that it runs entirely in-browser means you can save this webpage and work with an offline copy to generate QR codes forever – even if the site goes down:

QR code generators are mostly bad news, so this is great news.

“Death before Detransition” is not a state of surrender or a death wish, it’s a call to fight.

Note to trans women with developing radical politics: if you base your feminism on the fervor of the cis, even the dead ones you’re reading about, the furthest you will get in life is grinning while people explain why Barbie is a good movie while misgendering you.
