Don't be jealous, but I never watched Grey's Anatomy or any version of The L Word. Which means I've now got 422 hours of TV to look forward to. That's 17.5 days or just over a month of hermitizing, if I sleep.

Just now seeing this. I'm so grateful! Thank you! And I'm super honored being in company with the marvelous & lovely @livesinpages.bsky.social.

Fund Libraries. Tell Congress to invest in libraries. #FundLibraries, ALA American Library Association.

NEW: It's time to #FundLibraries.

As we fight for the long-term future of federal funding for libraries in Congress & in the courts, it's critical that our elected officials CONTINUE to provide annual funding.

Take action, tell your House Rep to fund libraries in FY26: bit.ly/FundLibraries26House

Hands Off Protest Boston!

legit this system is AMAZING, different author friends of mine who've struggled for years to maintain a daily writing routine now text each other all excited to report once they've finished "The Haylie" for the day

I wish Mom had lived to see this heartening act of love by @corybooker.com. I haven't cried much since she died—she's out of pain, after all. But the thought of her missing this brings tears. Imagining how she would be inspired by Sen. Booker's dedication makes me ache with missing her. #resist

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Congratulations! Can't wait to read it!

This is giving me life today.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt.

Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

@benloory.bsky.social thanks for boosting that question!

Thank you!

Friends, Any recommendations for U.S. newspapers whose subscription fees don't support fascism? Enjoying sources like The Guardian, but want a domestic perspective, too. Would like to support actual journalism.

For the first time since 2013, I'm off Duotrope. Doing all I can to pay off this veterinarian debt. There's a support group for this, right?

A perfect story for this sad Saturday in the US.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.

One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

I just got lost in the photos. I need a seance to bring me back into my corporeal form.

I love hearing this! I hope to see her skate someday!
