The colorful cover illustration of Alice Rue Evades the Truth by Emily Zipps. It shows Alice on the left, looking coy and demure while barely containing chaotic bisexuality.

Just finished listening to this and … wow. What a beautifully crafted romcom that is so much more than just getting in your feels. I cried more than once, some happy and some sad tears. The narrator is perfect. It whips you right into the moment in the first scene and it took me on the best ride.

Ms Rachel via Instagram: I've eaten rice the way Zohran Mamdani does. A friend made me a meal years ago & showed me that way of eating rice. I thought it was cool. Teachers in NYC teach students to be kind & respectful toward other students' cultures. It's one of our learning standards to help children feel proud of who they are. It's disappointing that some adults can't model the same decency & kindness that students in NYC show every day. They would rather model something none of our religions teach us - racism and attacking our neighbors instead of loving them.

Ms Rachel just called Andrew Cuomo a raggedy old racist bitch

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

And email notice accompanied by the book cover informing, "Your pre-order from Charis Books & More is available!" for "Alice Rue Evades the Truth" by Emily Zipps.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

Just last night I finished listening to God Awful Movies’ podcast from last wk ft “Day of Defense,” a Mormon “heartsell” movie about 2 missionaries persecuted in a “Christian town,” whatever that is, bc some Christians hate Mormons so much and LDS love to romanticize that.

If Josh Johnson’s Flowers Tour comes to your city, GO! Fantastic show. Opener Mandal was hilarious w his Atlanta material. And The Flower Girls were awesome. I can’t remember ever having an evening where I felt like I was near continuously laughing like that. It was so rejuvenating.

I hope this makes it around to as many cis folks as possible. The amount of ignorance out there regarding what we're facing and how this moment feels for all of us is staggering.

People kneeling with fists in the air

The crowd is taking a knee in the street outside of the Broadview Detention Center with their fists up to honor Silverio Villegas-Gonzáles, the man ICE killed last week, victims of police violence, and the people being killed in Palestine.
