A rallying cry from @damemagazine as Kaitlin Byrd asks, “Can anything stop Trump now?”
“The system would not stop Donald Trump. Ballots didn’t either,” she writes. “But we will be enough. We will not acquiesce. And when we meet our next turn at the crossroads of time, we will know that we did everything we could.”

Now, to earwigs, which seemingly have more vibrant social lives than we do (though based on this @KnowableMag story, we’ll stick with what we’ve got). Tim Vernimmen writes about their 20-hour mating rituals, peculiar penises, protective parenting, and occasional cannibalism.

A new French film, “L’Histoire de Souleymane” (Souleymane’s Story) is reviewed in the latest edition of @thecontinent. Here’s what they thought of this story of a young Guinean man’s undocumented life in Paris.
“[Abou] Sangare’s emotional performance explores Souleymane’s vulnerabilities and anxieties as if they were his own. Perhaps it helped that the actor himself had only recently been granted a six-month temporary visa in France after living undocumented since 2017. He knew those anxieties intimately,” write Line Sidonie and Talla Mafotsing.
