1. A couple of people sent me @meghan_daum's latest (h/t @kittypurrzog). It's a 28 minute read but I finally got through it and although I haven't been through a divorce in the past few years, so much of what she wrote is familiar.
@meghan_daum 2. The point at which I realized that some of the left was off the rails was when I covered the June/July 2015 #KimonoWednesdays protests at Boston's MFA. What I thought would be a one post response turned into weeks of coverage & a 3 part postmortem.

@meghan_daum 3. I’m not on Facebook but I started seeing this sort of thing crop up among my friends here and there. Forums, mailing lists, private conversations.

1. I attended a panel a few years ago that I found out when I arrived was “closed to media”. I was there in my capacity as a blogger and as a community member. I had actually declined a spot on the panel in part so I could cover it.

2. I made a bootleg recording and wrote about it anyway. If I hadn’t, there would have been no coverage and no recording for the public to listen to. The organizers took ~4 months to release audio & transcript.

3. The organizers didn’t seem to mind. I’m unclear if they considered me not media since I’m not part of the mainstream media or if they felt it was okay because I’d been covering the #KimonoWednesdays protests all along and am also a member of the Asian American community.

1. Whoa. Two people sent me this today. In which @RealSexyCyborg details the saga of Vice sending a report (not Jeong) to write a profile about her and it devolving into a mess that Jeong jumped into.

@RealSexyCyborg 2. There are tons of links to various Twitter threads in the piece but on the cultural clash/safety issues, @jackiehluo’s thread is the most interesting.

1. Last month the House Oversight Committee held part 2 of hearings on “Challenges to the Freedom of Speech on College Campuses” (1st hearing was last July). I couldn’t find a transcript of the testimony so I’ve transcribed some of it.
2. This thread will annotate some of the testimony with sources and commentary re: what happened at Evergreen & Middlebury last spring. If you’d like to watch from the beginning, the session begins at 10:28.
