Our album cover

Interviewer: “What do you say to trans kids who are starting their transition?”

Zohran Mamdani: "We're gonna make this a city that doesn't just protect trans kids, but also celebrates and cherishes them."

Eminem tosses you a pack of crayolas

“Poor people have a right to art!”

They sure do. So get to it.

Listening to the Cure's 1989 album Disintegration from start to finish as the gods intended

Some day my life will have just a TINY BIT LESS DRAMA in it, and that will be a glorious day

Tennessee public libraries close for Trump-inspired book purge One hundred and eighty-one public libraries in Tennessee are reviewing their children’s collections after Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett (R) ordered them to remove books with LGBTQ themes…

1. In Tennessee, public libraries have closed for up to a week to facilitate a Trump-inspired book purge.

Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett (R) has ordered most of the state's public librarians to remove children's books with LGBTQ characters or themes.

After all these years it's still "Don't Let's Start"

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!"

You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone's looking for someone to blame
When you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

I’m in Denver, time to get down with the altitude sickness #NCTE2025

Miss you too, Jo!

The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.

Now that’s a lede.

Hey it's @joknowles.bsky.social, HI JO!
I'm terribly fond of her, you know

Yes, I paid $8 for 72 minutes of inflight wifi because air travel is a hellish onslaught of sensory overstimulation and the cold comfort of posting about it on social media is better than no comfort at all

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

We’re hearing helicopters and word is spreading of massive ICE raids tomorrow and Friday particularly in Gwinnett. These excessive raids put all of us in danger. Spread the word, look out for each other, and remember your rights.

A grotesque scam email that says “ello Mike I recently discovered Theo Chang Is Not a Cat, and I adore how you combine heart, humor, and relatable school-life experiences. Kids and families will instantly relate to Theo's struggle with Trainwhistle since it is both genuinely emotional and hilarious. This series is very captivating, especially for reluctant readers, because of its blend of comedy, empathy, and classroom dynamics. There's a great chance to highlight Theo's tale and raise awareness of The Kids in Mrs. Z's Class as Book 9 in a cherished, all-star series. Without sacrificing the core of the narrative, I assist writers like you in increasing visibility, cultivating an engaged fanbase, and showcasing the distinct charm of each book in a series. what is your top priority for this release: raising classroom/library engagement, driving preorder enthusiasm, or attracting new readers to the series? Best wishes, Festus Glory Professional Book Marketing Specialist festusglory34@gmail.com “

Today’s scam email about book marketing is the worst one yet, look at this stealing fecal mound

I don't wish ill on anyone, but the heights of arrogance and sexism this guy has consistently displayed in life set him up squarely for this. Who can really sympathize? www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

The handwritten words “this is unusual”

I’m flying to Denver for #NCTE2025 tomorrow and I haven’t started packing yet. Or panicking. Neither packing nor panicking

It's blocking rehearsal and your lead actor can't get it right?

Problematic stage gap.

My kid just said "shit, fuck, shitfuck," and I probably found it more entertaining than it really was, but life is short and simple pleasures are the best

I'm leaving on Saturday 😭😭😭

Infographic that says "A Nice Writer Hangout at NCTE | I Mean, Why Not Hang Out With Your Friend Mike, Right? RIGHT?? *weeping* | November 20, 8PM, Hyatt Regency Convention Center Lobby"

I sent this out as an Evite in a shamelessly desperate attempt to make sure SOMEONE shows up, but it's not, like, a secret - we're meeting at a hotel bar, FFS. Who amongst you will be at #NCTE2025 on Thursday? Can we hang out? Feel free to take pity on me if you must, I'm not above a pity hangout

sometimes your enemy’s enemy is just some asshole
