What a baby.

Thank you, Violet!

Wait is the Washington Post’s slogan still “Democracy Dies in Darkness?” I guess it still works as a goal rather than a warning

His profile pic looks like the “more you know” logo.

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

This isn't how people with humanity treat others.

Taking free lunch away from kids so Bezos can pay for his next wedding in a few years is what’s infuriating me today.

So the question is, who is going to be manufacturing the “wearables” and getting the government contracts?

Thought I’d start this at the end of May (received ARC from netgalley) and finish it for Pride month but I ended up devouring it in 2 days. The voice makes this story so special! Doris is a hoot and I want to hang out with all these dynamic characters for a weekend. In my top 3 of the year so far.

I love growing flowers and I love watching the bees appreciate them.

Long COVID is Now the Number One Chronic Illness in Children Repeatedly mass infecting kids with COVID is not a public health strategy. It's a fast pass to declining population health

Long Covid has now surpassed asthma as the number one chronic illness in our children.

Can’t wait for the lawsuit.

The image shows the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt on display on the National Mall in Washington D.C. in October 1996. This particular display, from October 11-13, 1996, was the last time the entire quilt was shown in its entirety, covering the vast expanse of the National Mall from the Washington Monument towards the U.S. Capitol. It featured over 40,000 panels and drew approximately 1.2 million visitors.

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

How are we supposed to know who the cops are? Faces covered, no badges, inconsistent uniforms… We can’t go off “trust me bro.”

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.

Otherwise, it’s just racism.

The Guerrilla Marketing Campaign Against Elon Musk As Tesla’s profits drop, a group called Everyone Hates Elon is going viral for plastering London with fake advertisements for the company, infiltrating a car showroom, and inviting the public to trash...

The group Everyone Hates Elon has plastered London with a fake ad campaign. One sign branded Tesla “the Swasticar,” and announced that the vehicle “Goes from 0 to 1939 in 3 Seconds.” “Now With White Power Steering,” another read.

Masha Gessen, who lived under Russia’s secret police, is sounding the alarm: the U.S. is now echoing those same authoritarian patterns. Raids, surveillance, fear tactics—it’s not theoretical anymore.

We are watching a police state take root in real time.

From The God of the Woods by Liz Moore: "What's your name, darling?" "Judyta," says Judy. Not Investigator Luptack. Not Judy. Not Joo-DEE-tah, as most Americans say when forced to pronounce her given name. Instead she pronounces it just as her mother does-Yoo-DIT-ah— and the Italian woman sighs, as if hearing a poem, and tells her it's beautiful.

I appreciate the artful way @lizmoorebooks.bsky.social wove the pronunciation of this character’s name into the text.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if a US exchange student in a foreign country (say, Turkey?) was imprisoned for six weeks because they wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper it would be a huge domestic story and an international incident.

US will stop tracking the costs of extreme weather fueled by climate change The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it will no longer track the cost of weather disasters, including floods, heat waves, wildfires and more

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

This is an iconic dig at Trump.

Does he mean they’re losing less money… to wages?
