is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.
guess Jeff Bezos got tired of being overshadowed by Musk and Zuck and needed to remind us all that he is also an evil piece of shit whose very existence is a stain on humanity

Somewhere between my second serum & a deep existential sigh, I couldn’t help but wonder — in a world addicted to power & rebrands, is the Gulf of Mexico the last bastion of authenticity?

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.
Getting books from the public library feels like such abundance. As many as i want! As often as I want! Don’t need to select which ones based on cost! The pleasures of the commons. If only we didn’t live in a country that hated (what remains of) the commons so fiercely.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.
Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙
I’m completely gutted all the time
I just went through my drawer of forty years of postcard collecting. I have so many cool, cool postcards. My life in that drawer. It’s been a good one.
