One must read @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social with a highlighter in one hand and a strong cup of coffee in the other.

When he was little, my son asked me this about sex: “How do you know when you’re done?

I will ask you now the same question about revision.

I've been reading Steinbeck’s East of Eden. I'm struck by the synchronicity of landing on this passage this morning.

Two things can be true.

MSNBC Fires Analyst Who Said Charlie Kirk Pushed Hate Speech

Es tu, MSNBC? #CharlieKirk DID push hate speech, he DID have (has) a "watchlist" list of college professors published online that resulted in more hate speech, harassment, and threats. Political violence has NO place in America AND Charlie Kirk was a hateful person pushing hate for personal gain.

Just me, or did Gavin Newsom just get sexier? 🔥💙

DONALD IS FINISHED—HE IS NO LONGER “HOT.” FIRST THE HANDS (SO TINY) AND NOW ME—GAVIN C. NEWSOM—HAVE TAKEN AWAY HIS “STEP.” MANY ARE SAYING HE CAN’T EVEN DO THE “BIG STAIRS” ON AIR FORCE ONE ANYMORE—USES THE LITTLE BABY STAIRS NOW. SAD!

Goddammit, I miss my dog.

Is this really necessary?

To understand the meaning of AUDACIOUS, get the audio book and LISTEN to @ejeancarroll.bsky.social read.

When will @oprah-winfrey.bsky.social denounce Dr. Phil? Speak up. Tell the world you regret giving this evil whacko a platform.

Me: what kind of fish do you want?
Felix: steak fish

In Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, we get fresh fish on Tuesday and Friday. We buy it at the gas station.

Girl fight What happened to women supporting women?

When NPR Dad @petersagal.bsky.social jokes go too far making women the punchline, it's time to reflect on my complicity.

I send them a text. They were really bad at their job. AITA?

Retailers! Please tell us HOW you ship our purchases BEFORE asking for the shipping addresses. Not everyone has U.S. Postal delivery to their street address. (and I suspect it will be even fewer of us in the future.)

At least say, no P.O. Boxes. Then I know what to do.

Should we all mail copies of the Constitution and Oath of Office to the White House?
