Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Until October 11, buy a book for DC Books to Prisons from the @peoplesbooktakoma.com wishlist and a donor will match the amount of the gift to DCBtP. So the store gets the sale, and we get the book and some money to send them! Check out the wishlist -

I'm 65 and I have reached the point in my life and working life I had dreamed of as a young human and I'm on the lip of the unimaginable. You are not too old to... Anything. Begin
Keep going.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

that's not a very nice way to refer to London museums

Just suggested to an artist who's making...something... for...something... that they come up with a sick pseudonym, roller derby style, in lieu of their usual artist credit. Surveillance is serious & caution is useful but you might as well get a little silly with the workarounds

Spookily gorgeous!

I feel like after age 50 or so, this is doable again (except it’s “coffee?”)

Has happened to me over age 50 and the good news is, we just didn’t try to be cool. 😊

You ever meet someone & think like “Jesus Christ where have you BEEN, why haven’t we been friends this whole TIME” but are faced with the harsh reality of having to BE COOL and not be all “hey uhhh I know we’re both 30-40,with deep friend benches, but can you please make room for me immediately??”

You know, we could just put a giant corkboard in the middle of town and everyone could leave messages on it like twice a month. I'd be kind of okay with that, if it comes to it. Although I'm quite lazy so I might not go.

Ugh!

Augh!

Make peace with liking what you actually like. Nothing else is worth your time.

I’m gonna make it simple since it seems a lot of the liberals on this site right now are having trouble with this. It was illegal to protect Anne Frank and it was legally required to turn her in to the Nazis.
If your reliance on the law dictates your morals you have already lost to the fascists.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

surprise! the real challenge was always getting us to recognize the humanity of other humans! we can anthropomorphize the fuck out of wall-e but genocide is "really complicated"

I didn't take this one head on, because I didn't want you to turn to stone.

If you really cared about music, you would steal a car.

(Not saying no English major ever managed to be interesting. But *i* did not manage it!)

This is advice i should have taken back when i wanted to be a novelist. (Study an actual subject; become interesting. Learn to write by writing.)

Whoa! I did not realize this is happening tonight. loyaltybookstores.com/thedeep

Currently at:
— only buy tech too old to have AI built in
— painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well
— if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool
— if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts
— patiently wait for the crash

We were back at BWI Airport today for Avelo Takedown 2 with our boycott Avelo message! We danced even harder than last time against Avelo and their ICE flights. Lots of drivers honked and waved their support! #AveloOutOfBWI
