Quick question: is there a kidlit and YA feed on Bluesky yet? I know that folks were a bit wary of moving here at first... I miss kidlit Twitter and YA Twitter!

85 Democrats voting to condemn socialism in November 2025. Thatโ€™s wild to me. Like, why are you doing that.

for days we got the "Showdown with Socialism" buildup only to get the payoff of Trump essentially saying "wow this socialist guy fuckin rules. I, on the other hand, am a fascist". what a country. what an era

โ€œEmbarrassingโ€ and โ€œhorrifyingโ€: CDC workers describe the new vaccines and autism page "The best way I can put it is it feels like we're on a hijacked airplane."

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:

โ€œThe best way I can put it is it feels like weโ€™re on a hijacked airplane.โ€

โ€œI think people are starting to see that we canโ€™t fulfill our mission here.โ€

The discharge nurse noticed they hadnโ€™t prescribed antibiotics following my bilateral mastectomy. Made a call, surgeon was like oh yeah totally please send her home with antibiotics of course, my mistake. Essential professional members of any care team, absolutely.

The Department of Education, led by the wife of a former head of the WWE, has declared nursing to no longer be a professional degree.

Itโ€™s a war on so called women dominated professions

Itโ€™s also devastating for the disability community

We need nurses

Theyโ€™re an invaluable part of the care team

In the richest city on Earth, 40% of NYC families canโ€™t afford weekly food costs, and food prices are up 33% over the past decade.

Itโ€™s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.

while Iโ€™m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his โ€œIโ€™m alpha because I insulted youโ€ thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say โ€œwhat the fuck is wrong with you, old man?โ€ on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."

She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.

They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.

This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.

The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.

"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.

"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark โ€” and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF
