Something you could do here is ALSO reach out to your state-level representatives if you live in one of the 13 states with a Freedom to Read Bill. Tell them what HR 7661 would mean for constituents in their state and the bill and tell them to pressure their federal colleagues to veto this bill.

Let me be crystal clear on something: were this law to be passed, every one of the 13 states with Freedom to Read laws would cease to have those laws to protect them anymore.

We have poured so much energy into those state laws–which matter, hear me–but they are not going to solve the big issue.

This is how I expect to be addressed moving forward.

I am Benedict Bridgerton, because I too only know one song on the piano that I break out at parties and then have to explain that I cannot play anything else.

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

A Nationwide Book Ban Bill Has Been Introduced in the House of Representatives Hours after the State of the Union address, House republicans introduced legislation banning LGBTQ+ books from public schools nationwide.

In America, the government protects documented s*x abusers of children and then tells everyone the real abuser is books with trans kids in them. Flood your reps' phone lines against this unforgiveable nationwide book banning bill: tinyurl.com/yc2k45x2

We're all sending the same $100 among each other as the rich get unimaginably richer by the hour.

AI enthusiasts thirsting to be the smartest people in the room but instead of gettin good they simply decided to make sure the next generation will be dumber than them

Update: my mother has informed me that English Mike is dead. 😭

My first crush was not a celebrity or a cartoon character, it was my parents' friend who was bald with a handlebar moustache who we called "English Mike." When I was four, I told my parents I was gonna marry him. I have no idea where he is now, so I'm marrying "American Dan."

STOP PRESSURING ME, MOM....uh... i mean...

Me cheek to cheek with my book F*cked Up Fairy Tales

My playlist for Dan, including Cruisin, 8 Days a Week, Dream a Little Dream, Ice Cream, We Found Love, Friday I'm in Love, Teach Me Tonight, and Time After Time

Dan's playlist for me, including Girlfriend, I'll Know, How Can I Be Sure, Might Be in Love, I Love You, The Way You Make Me Feel, I'm Always Touched By Your Presence Dear, and Dance With Me.

Dan and I laid low after a busy week: cooked together, puzzled with Russell Dauterman, and made each other playlists. It was my favorite Valentines Day ever.

Me as a princess and Ricky Rainbow Beard asking the kid audience for jokes to make the princess laugh.

A game! Hearts or Farts?

Here's what an afternoon at the Rainbow Beard Show looks like. Games! Friends! Making! Music! Stories! Dancing! Truly one of the most delightful projects to be a part of and I'm so happy that Rhode Island kids (and beyond) get to experience it.

Thanks!

I was gonna say "why were they in the icebox?" And then I saw what it was referencing and I realized "ah yes, dementia."
