Such a perfect example of what we all give up when we refuse to address basic inequalities. I don't want to live in a country where all the public space is militarized to keep hungry people from stealing food, just give them money to buy food!

unless someone specifically asks for advice it is actually pretty rude to offer it unsolicited, especially when the “advice” is basic “how to live your life as an adult” stuff

Got floor seats for Critical Role in Fort Worth next December!! Now just to wait for the next BTS tour and hope to be so lucky

For the love of all that is holy, drop any and all engagement with that dang wizard IP if you haven't already.

Republicans want you to pay more for less Donald Trump's policies are punishing the poor, rewarding the rich, inflating prices, and shrinking revenues. And for what?

Excellent @gelliottmorris.com post today on the across-the-board distributional effects of GOP policy in the second Trump administration. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/republican...

There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.

The Tyranny of Public Opinion The battle over trans rights shows that Democrats have forgotten the fundamentals of politics

my latest newsletter piece: on how the Democrats' posture toward trans rights signals a fundamental misunderstanding of how politics work

Supporting bathroom, sports and healthcare bans for trans people means signing on to a moral panic about problems that DON'T EXIST.

When people say Democrats should "moderate" on these issues, they are suggesting that we legislate a group out of public life based on lies.

the purpose of banning section 230 is to ban all political, sexual, or critical speech from the internet

this is to silence grassroots movements that don’t have the explicit sanction of the wealthy and powerful

you are an abject moron or a liar if you believe it has any other purpose

The subversive genius of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance The Compton MC might have just given us the biggest rap performance ever

I wrote about the biggest rap performance of all time, Kendrick’s positioning of anti-Drake-ness as part of a larger pro-Blackness and justice for Serena Williams

Graphic from myyearinvooks.com showing 150 books read

Read more than I did last year! I read all of @authormsbev.bsky.social's historical romances (truly fantastic!), a bunch of romances i loved, and a handful of non-romamces i enjoyed!

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Once again begging people to stop playing into parents rights by saying parents have the right to decide what their children get to read. Children have rights, and "parents rights" is a backdoor to book banning.

This is the rallying call that I've needed to hear since November 6th. From Roxane Gay in today's New York Times www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

Went to Salt Lake City last month and visited one of their state parks before coming home

Jin POV:
Your global stars don’t need to do challenges. But you do bc it would make people happy. But since your love for fans is at bff status- you basically have to troll them. Then you rope your bro into it the day after he gets discharged. Oh and to top it off you just dropped a masterpiece

I love Happy. It feels very much like Jin's style and the music suits him so well. I can't wait to listen to it in the car. He sounds so good. which I don't why I feel the need to remark on - it's Jin, of course he sounds good

time to unleash The Grilled Cheese Essay (which personally made padma lakshmi cry) on the newskies

Breaking a Child’s Will The Evangelical family’s twisted obsession with corporal punishment.

Today, NY Mag published an excerpt of my book, in which I talk about the past 50 years of the abusive evangelical "biblical parenting" movement, how "parental rights" entered the political lexicon, and why you shouldn't hit your kids: www.thecut.com/article/the-...

"The market and BookTok’s reticence to engage seriously with books that fuck results in fewer books that fuck well. Or, more high-mindedly, we end up retreating from critical conversations about desire and power." Great piece. 👇
