a photo grid of dolls with protest t-shirts and signs.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Tryin' to imagine makin' a billion dollars scribblin' about baby wizards and whatnot, then sittin' in my castle, rage-tweetin' at trans people all day. Guuurl you won at life. It's cool to just sign out and take everyone your ass has ever known to Wingstop.

United States Senator Brian Schatz: "You cannot waive away, an agency that you don't like, or that you disagree with, by executive order, or by literally storming into the building, and taking over the servers!"

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Thanks for the nudge

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Yesterday was the anniversary of my dad’s death. What makes me smile is my mom’s resiliency. It’s been a tough year, but she’s surviving, even thriving. I’m so proud of her.

Patio furniture is pushed around in a crazy pattern on the deck outside.

That northern wind rearranges our deck furniture. Either that or we have some playful sprites pulling pranks on us.

That’s hilarious

Every time another basic income pilot like this concludes - the results are "unprecedented." It's almost like it's time for it to become universal or something.

A thread.

Works for me.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Yup.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Numerous times this week, I’ve learned of news breaking on Bluesky before Twitter. In the past, it’s only ever been Twitter. Bodes well for the future of this site.

Small note: I wish there was a way to segment notifications (people I follow, mentions, etc).

Ha!!! 😂😂 I see what they did there.

Billboard: Matt Gaetz paid Joel Greenberg $1000... for salad. Venmo

There was an alleged pedo, Matt
Covered up by some GOP rats:
Their "ethics" committee
Has ruled (rather sh*tty)
They'll keep it all under their hat.

I’d love to see that! I’ve always wanted to read this.

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:

1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display

Can’t wait to read it! I love your books.

Heads up everyone - this means they hate how well the blocklists work, which is amazing. But also time to be discerning about which lists you subscribe to.

Gun industry pushes to dismantle Office of Gun Violence Prevention WASHINGTON — GIFFORDS, the national gun violence prevention organization led by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, responded to the National

In a surprise to no one, the gun lobby is pushing Donald Trump to dismantle the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

This would be a major blow to public safety.

The NSSF cares more about lining their pockets than they do about saving lives.

My niece is a student at OSU and confirms this happened today. White supremacists have been emboldened, once again, by the election of Donald Trump. It's imperative that this type of hate, intimidation, and violence be loudly condemned every time.
