He's pointing up as if to think of something, and the image is captioned "It's never too late to start something over, including a new version of yourself."

Good morning✌️🍀

I’m going to be spicy and say that if you need Chat GPT to write your wedding vows, you shouldn’t get married.

Oh my god. If you use WeTransfer (I do), get rid of it today.

Hey book lovers! Support your local library, of course. Also! Cool news! @bookshop.org has free shipping July 8-11. They also now sell ebooks, which is an excellent development. AND if you sign up for their email, there are periodic boook/ebook deals & I've snapped up many fine books that way. 💚📖🔥📘

South Georgia library manager fired for trans-inclusive display The branch manager at the Pierce County Library was fired after displaying a trans-inclusive children's book in a public display.

Lavonnia Moore, the librarian fired for including one of my books on a display after a child requested it, sounds incredible and what happened to her should be a crime. roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/07/05/l...

If you need a reminder of what we're fighting for, here are a bunch of authors reading short excerpts of letters sent to them by grateful readers. Recommend having tissues handy.

“With Pride coming to a close…”

Pal, there’s still three and a half months left of WNBA basketball. You’re not gonna scatter us gays until it’s time to go back inside and hibernate for the winter.

"I am actually a princess," the frog said.

"Oh no!" said the prince.

"My curse can only be lifted by a prince listening to me."

"Of course," said the prince, and bent down with puckered lips.

"What are you doing?!"

"Kissing you, like you asked!"

"No!"

The frog hopped away, muttering.

I refuse to accept that cruelty and complacency is all we have to offer.

A better world is possible, and worth our collective effort.

Back to back sads 😭

Welp.

I’m sorry, this has such “now that I’m grown I eat five dozen eggs, so I’m roughly the size of a barge” energy.

Amazing.

I need all the help I can get. Our corgi Winnie is missing. My husband was camping with her this weekend and she has gone missing. She’s been gone for three hours. They’re at cougar Flats campground, which is in Yakima county Washington. Please help us find her!!

Time to wake back up, boys. This is our game. #LetsGoOilers

We need that energy from the first period, boys. #LetsGoOilers !! 🕯🕯🕯

WAIT, HOW DID AUSTRALIA NOT MAKE IT. That's like primo modern #Eurovision.

Ireland robbed tbh. #Eurovision

Luminous baby. Photo from my collection, handwriting on it says “My Eddie’s kitten ‘49”.

Stuuuuuuuuuu. He deserved that. Fuck yeah, #Oilers. Play La Bambaaa!!! #LetsGoOilers

What. In the fuck. This is some Bettman tin foil hat bullshit at this point. Let's make 'em pay for it, #Oilers. No mercy. #LetsGoOilers
