Mychal Threets is a brilliant, brilliant new host for Reading Rainbow! He's always been so incredibly sweet in his posts about reading, I am so happy he's following in LeVar Burton's amazing footsteps!

And when you are unkind to yourself, when you rend your spiritual garments saying, "I'll never do enough! I must do more," you tell those nearest you they aren't doing enough and that demoralization is poisonous. You're trying, right? It's enough. Internalize kindness so others feel it too.

Newsflash, Wannabe Dictator:

I don’t care how many times you shake the Etch A Sketch trying to redraw these lines. I’m not disappearing.

I’ll be back, still on your behind every step of the way. (1/2)

Significant portions of Article I of the U.S. Constitution were removed from the version published on Congress’ official Constitution website. Large parts of Section 8(which outlines the powers of Congress) were deleted, and Sections 9 and 10,

This surprisingly relaxing footage is from SIX MILES under the ocean – and it’s the deepest ecosystem yet discovered

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

Lovely. Thank you for sharing, I too just donated.

New Yorkers Aren’t Afraid of a Democratic Socialist Mayor Andrew Cuomo's allies spent a fortune shouting that Zohran Mamdani is a socialist. Result? A Mamdani landslide in the Democratic primary.

Agreed, agreed, agreed. When we need to _argue_ about feeding hungry people, or helping up those who've fallen – literally, spiritually, or socially – why would you celebrate that?

We love you.

Deep breaths everyone. Deep deep—AAAAAGGGHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA.

It's fine. I'm fineyou're fine WE"REFINE.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Hellooo! *waves back*

Yus! Thank you Larry, this helps a lot!

You glorious sharer, thank you Amazed!

Today we celebrate Juneteenth. Mr. President, isn’t this the essence of America? The fight for freedom against tyranny? Is it "woke" to know history? If so, then I'm fully awake and I like it.
