Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.

immediately texting this to my spouse the bookseller

is this part of my ongoing quest to convince them the store should have a shop cat? I admit nothing.

Exclusive | Staten Island Democrats embrace Zohran Mamdani, turn on Andrew Cuomo: ‘Voters have spoken’ Staten Island Democratic officials in the city’s most conservative borough are jumping on the Zohran Mamdani for mayor bandwagon in what critics are calling the political equivalent of a &#82…

“While Zohran builds real support across all five boroughs, Cuomo’s campaign is withering as New Yorkers learn he stands for absolutely nothing but his own ambition, dogged by scandal, corruption, and a record of sexual harassment and humiliation,” @DoraPekec said. nypost.com/2025/08/03/u...

Gaza Humanitarian Fund whistleblower Anthony Aguilar describes ordering pizzas for their site while Palestinians starve.

Last week, our LGBTQIA+ shop had a COMPLICTED release for our fairy collection. Our host (Wix) had major DNS issues. Took all day to fix.

We still have over a hundred pieces left, and now they're 15% off. You can see the entirety of the set here:

Decolonization, gender studies, anything outside of "rich white guy armchair" history from 100 years ago would not be possible without people who learn how to do history and then innovate it. An LLM cannot do that, and it is demoralizing that people don't realize how much of an issue that is...

Reem Badwan is pictured Killed at 3 years old In a video shared around the world, Khaled Nabhan held up the lifeless body of his 3-year-old granddaughter, Reem, kissed her eyes and called her the "soul of my soul." She was killed in a strike alongside her brother, Taria, 5, in November 2023.

Tala Abu Ajwa is pictured Killed at 10 years old Tala was killed while she was wearing her pink inline skates. Tala loved her friends, parties and visiting family. In her last days, "however, she had become very afraid - terrified by the war, the sounds of bombing, missiles, and the constant presence of death around her," her father said.

Hind Rajab is pictured Killed at 6 years old Hind spent her final hours trapped in a bullet-ridden car, surrounded by the bodies of six relatives, making desperate calls for help. For three hours, a Red Crescent operator stayed on the line, reciting the Quran and comforting her as an Israeli tank approached. "Come get me, quickly," she pleaded. Twelve days later, Hind was found dead.

Mohammed and Ahmed al-Harbeiti are photographed together. Killed at 13 years old Mohammed, 13, and Ahmed, 11, were crushed by a tank on June 7, 2024, according to their mother, Raja Hamed Hamdouna. Before the war, the two boys would show their love by tidying up around the house. Mohammed loved kebabs and memorized seven chapters of the Quran, Hamdouna said; Ahmed loved old black-and-white movies and was "loved by everyone - the joyful soul of our family."

These tributes are beyond heart-breaking.

Huge credit to the Washington Post for beginning this memorial to the children of the 21st century’s holocaust.

Israel will never come back from this. Nor those who sponsored their genocide.

The WaPa headline says: 60,000 Gazans were killed. 18,500 of them were children. These are some of their names. Then follows an enormous list of small print names

Thousands of small print names interspersed with some photos of some of the child victims

NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

The Washington Post has just published every single known name.

A seminal moment.

Yes. First, Ghost has a concierge who can lead you through the transition without losing the followers you have or disrupting service in any way. Second, you will actually give yourself a raise by moving, b/c Substack takes 10% rather than a set rate based on your total number of subscribers. (1/2)
