The newsroom that raised me, and so many other journalists, is luxury condos. Now the printing plant that churned out our work is becoming a casino. Breaks a big, formative part of my heart 💔

As mother of a child that died of a cancer that is so statistically rare it is not even researched, thinking of children in statistical terms is never the way to go. Kids are the whole world for the people who love them and reducing them to a statistic is cruel, dismissive, cold.

New statement from Northwestern on cheerleading lawsuit filed by student Hayden Richardson. NU recognizes her "courage," but denies breaking the law & still won't answer basic questions:
When did the coach leave? Why? How long did she work there? Was she fired?
Kate Thayer retweeted
"The cheerleaders were being presented as sex objects to titillate the men that funded the majority of Northwestern’s athletics programs."
NU student files lawsuit alleging her Title IX complaints were ignored, allowing sexual harassment to continue
