fyi hoopla has the whole series in ebook format (I know because I've checked them all out in the last few months)

To me, this is the nature of the moment we are in. Principle and pragmatism are aligned. We can’t strike a bargain with these people: they'll only see weakness. We won’t find a more favorable terrain down the road. All we can do is fight, slow them down, make it painful. 22/

are the secret police really working for free when they’re doing what they love?

i feel like today's spelling bee is trolling me

LA kept a small, peaceful, totally fucking irritating presence at the Federal buildings and LA showed up at the hotels where ICE was staying and made sure they didn't get any sleep. LA Unions got involved. LA limousine liberals got out of their fucking limousines and stood watch on corners. 7/

AMC now warns moviegoers to expect ‘25-30 minutes’ of ads Good news for people who hate trailers.

“A new notice has started appearing when people purchase tickets via the AMC website, warning that “movies start 25-30 minutes after showtime.””

I will say, this is helpful if—like me—you try to avoid watching the trailers. But also, I only go to the movie theater once or twice a year.

Summer… Shakespeare… skulls?!?

This is a high-heat age-gap M/M romance set at a summer stock theater. One of our heroes is having a bi-awakening… not a problem. New boyfriend, however, may be a changeling… possibly a problem.

It is a challenge to haul myself up here from Hyde Park, but so so worth it for a show like that

Susan Werner also excellent, but the highlight might have been the encore cover of Natalie Merchant's Wonder by Flamy and Susan

The nice white ladies loved Flamy Grant (and so did I, but that's no surprise!)

Susan Werner concert at the Old Town School of Folk - so many 50+ lesbians (are all these nice white ladies ready for the opener, Flamy Grant? Time will tell)

He didn't get on my train car :(

THE DEPARTMENT OF Homeland Security said this week in a Michigan court that the agency does not have the authority to terminate students’ immigration statuses by terminating their records in the Student Exchange and Visitor Information System. Known as SEVIS, the database allows both universities and authorities to track information about international students on visas in the U.S. Homeland Security’s changes to SEVIS, the Trump administration said, have no bearing on a student’s lawful nonimmigrant status. “Terminating a record in SEVIS does not terminate an individual’s nonimmigrant status in the United States,” said Andre Watson, assistant director of the national security division for Homeland Security

DHS has admitted in court it doesn’t have authority to terminate student non-immigrant status, even when it changes or terminates their SEVIS status, contrary to the info provided by unis to affected students.

This admission, a tactic to evade a lawsuit, is grounds for schools to defend students.

A whole field's worth of fiery orange, red, and purple tulips filling the entirety of someone's urban front lawn.

I need everyone to stop and admire this Louisvillian's extravagant commitment to tulips.

A tabby cat's head and one white paw are visible from the top of a bookshelf. The bookshelf has books and art on the shelves

The two-time champ isn’t waiting around on an announcement — Courtney Vandersloot is back in Chicago.

I read the other day something I think was smart: "we TOLD you so" is not effective. But "oh my. How terrible. How can he do this? Can we stop him?" is.

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual.

We do not consent to this lawless power grab.
