Let's say that I can go to Pax U but ONLY Saturday night after 5:00 PM. What should a first-timer do and know?

I just realized that WICKED is almost totally ripped-off from The Wizard of Oz and I canโ€™t believe people arenโ€™t talking about it.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. Itโ€™s about peopleโ€™s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in โ€œpoliteโ€ politics: Praising bad people is not actually โ€œcivility.โ€

There are so many people who've had a hand in this historic moment, but one person I'm so grateful for is @lindseyboylan.bsky.social. Your courage and your conviction opened a door for so many people and so many futures, and this is one amazing reality you had such a vital role in making possible.

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

The magic word here is โ€œunrestrictedโ€ โ€” which is to say, the donor isnโ€™t setting an agenda or making a big fancy monument to themselves, but letting the institution use the funds for the actual, practical needs.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Wow, that F+tM album only came out a day ago but has already utterly disrupted existence for the rest of my life

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

there was a line of women waiting to use the sole working bathroom and the manager was almost in tears begging us to be quick, because she was afraid of โ€œgetting in trouble.โ€ a genuinely unsettling experience. whoโ€™s out there gender policing Indianaโ€™s gas station bathrooms and handing out tickets??

when we stopped at a gas station somewhere in rural Indiana earlier today, the womenโ€™s bathroom was closed so I went to use the menโ€™s. the store manager ran over and frantically said women โ€œarenโ€™t allowedโ€ to use that oneโ€”โ€œwe got a ticket last month.โ€

what kinda piss fuckery is going on in Indiana

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

I wish your marketing team gave more insight on what's in the books. Compared to past releases, the media has been zilch

Man at post office tried to explain to me how the package chute works. I was like "Oh my god, amazing." He looked so smug and I was like "No, no, when I saw you walking across the parking lot, I was like, 'That man loves explaining things to women' and I was right!" He gasped like I punched him. :)

reminded of when they showed the very first PIXAR short to tech guys and they all asked โ€œwhat program did you use to make it funnyโ€ and they had to very gently explain that it was the people that made it funny, not the code

I think a lot of people donโ€™t realize how insanely pervasive and coercive the early 2010s โ€œthe only way to make it as a young writer is to publish insanely confessional, raw online essays about your darkest secrets and traumaโ€ culture was.
