& know that those of us whose bodies are not able to show up in that way are fighting in other ways.
"You must treat the im/migrant living among you like your citizens. Love them as yourself...." Leviticus 19:34
My own literacy has shrunk and shrunk in the last decade, but I can still read this article - frightening and fascinating - and I can still write well enough to urge you to do the same.
Compare the statement about the antisemitic terror attack in Australia by the Israeli Prime Minister with the one by Zohran Mamdani, and ask yourself who more truly cares about condemning antisemitism, as opposed to using it to promote unrelated politics.
Having a one-year-old has Completely changed my understanding of how much mess it’s possible to make with a single banana.
Obama won by seven full points. Tonight we watched Zohran Mamdani win by nine.
I’m so hopeful for what this could mean for the future of politics in this country.
I remember staying up late into the night with other British university students watching the election results come in, state by state, the night Obama was elected in 2008. I remember the excitement and optimism, and the investment by all around me in this election so many miles away from us.
“Here’s your SITREP: situation normal in Portland,” he said. “We do not need your assistance. Please go away.”
I do not celebrate any murder.
I do not celebrate the violent death of any human being, nor the loss of any chance for repentance & repair. None.
And those on the right must note that this is the "deal" for which Kirk himself actively advocated.
Pass better gun policy if you don't like murder!
I need the internet to know that as of today I have a new favourite children’s picture book. It is called This Is Not My Hat and it is unhinged and lovely.
Treat spiders gently when they come into your homes; they are a reminder that one day you will be in a situation where you are the small fragile one.
Tonight as my baby gleefully wriggled out of my lap and bounced face-first in the direction of falling off the edge of the bed I said aloud “darling, how do I balance wanting to keep you safe with encouraging you to explore the world,” a unique thought never before experienced by any parent.
Baby goes bing bong bing bong 🎵🎵
The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

I couldn’t agree more!
Thank you Andor for giving me the space hotel (and space hotel man) of my dreams.
“A man that has friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”
Thank goodness for patient cats ☺️❤️

I wonder what feeling Vance has when he types things like "I will say a prayer for victory" in a private group chat.
Is he truly praying as he types? Does he plan to later? Is it a rote performance by now? Is he eyerolling?
I have curiosity about the, uh, masking / earnestness / cynicism levels.
Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid
you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.
Worth noting that when the war started Zelensky’s English was very shaky and he’s clearly spent a ton of time improving it for exactly this purpose.
