Literally they've shot two people in Chicago alone, we're all unbelievably fortunate the woman they shot last fucking weekend survived

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Dammit I got napalm on my thumb! (I did the first step of scratch-making caramel tonight, and hot sugar is a sneaky bitch. It was just a little bit and quickly dealt with so no serious damage, just ouch. )

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

Here’s the thing I wish everyone could hold in their minds about writers—we love em dashes. We use em dashes. We are humans and not AI. We will not be deleting our em dashes just because AI uses them too. We were here first. You can pry my em dashes from my cold dead hands. F*ck AI.

So. Instead of “you are all being ridiculous” maybe the answer is “huh, why would normies think this is what’s happening when it’s not what’s happening. Let’s try and have an educational moment to try and calm everyone.”

A small press going out of business without paying its authors...inexcusible. I wish I could say it rarely happens, but I would be lying.

Vending machines are not inherently malignant. It’s just that when one goes bad, it goes REALLY bad, and of course those are the ones you hear about.

A must read for ANYONE who wants to understand why Black women are experiencing a uniquely bad labor market and why the 300,000 number isn't telling the full story.

Dr. Valerie Wilson gets deep into the data around job losses and why paying attention to Black women matters. #blacksky

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.
