this is why liberals won't call for actual consequences. nothing trump is doing is something we didn't spend two decades doing throughout the middle east, central asia and africa during the war on terror. it's just that trump brags about it on social media too much

How do people not see that the entire OU essay thing is just an attempt by this girl and the Turning Point chapter to turn her into another Riley Gaines grifting on trying to push trans people out of society?

That Viral Essay Scandal is (SURPRISE!) Actually About Trans People A shoddy Oklahoma University essay went viral. Cis people think this is about conservatives whining for better grades. Trans people see a planned attack on a trans academic. (Note for free subscriber...

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss:

It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!!

A White House website with a dedicated Lügenpresse tab marks a pretty bleak moment in US history.

Whenever local government reviews the library budget and asks, "Why should we give you money?"

We want the library to be able to say, "Because we provide a valuable service used by many people!"

Libraries are like muscles, using them more makes them stronger. 💪

Also, even if you have tested positive for HPV, this vaccine protects against multiple strains of HPV and you probably only have one and it is still safe for you to get it, so FUCKING GET IT so you don't get any other strains

If you are an adult under 45 in the US who never received the vaccine, you are also eligible for it. (You can also get it if you’re older, but insurance might not cover it). HPV is a very common infection, but it’s not inevitable. Let’s wipe it out!

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:

They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

Yes. Also voters like it when you stand for something. "I don't care if Republicans think we're wrong or if it's not popular, I'm standing up for my neighbors and friends" has benefits beyond the issue itself.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

having people who care about me as i am and actually want me around to spend holidays with is the only thing i've ever wanted and i'm sobbing in my car on my break about finally getting to have it

for the first time in my life im actually kind of excited about thanksgiving

I have never liked it, its a bullshit holiday and turkey sucks and my family has never made me feel welcome even when im invited

but tomorrow I get to just hang out & have dinner with my incredible roommates that I adore

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.
