Howling. HAM SALAD PORCH PICKUP.

Met Billyboard today.

Rock-a-doodle was about perpetual darkness. That movie could have used some gay.

If you hate that I believe we should take away all the guns you’re probably not going to like my solution to our penis problem

Congrats to Rep. @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and family, who biked to the hospital last week and came back with baby Hans. Here's what she told me about the ride:

I'm assuming you know that is her brother in the gif but if not - what a fun coincidence

Hi, Porky! I love you!

What Do You Do When the Biggest Platforms For Readers Are Kind of Evil? Last week a number of popular authors published an open letter to the leadership team of RELX. RELX is the parent company of Reedpop, which is the organizer of many conventions including BookCon, w…

I wrote about how there are no pure platforms or publishers and how there are very few ethical media diets. Which leaves those of us who know we can’t consume ethically but still want to try, left to navigate what feels right, or, at least, less bad. lithub.com/what-do-you-...

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

We’re currently focused on two BIG projects. A deeply-reported investigation looking at the use of “less-lethal” police armaments at protests. Digitizing all of the data that we’ve collected while producing the Daily Memo, L.A. TACO’s nightly show that summarizes all of the ICE raids in Southern California, ensuring it’s protected and preserved for the future

Hey, @lataco.bsky.social is raising money to launch an investigative news unit; their current priorities involve looking into "less lethal" weapons used on protesters and more thorough documentation of ICE kidnapping.

This reads like one of my college poems.

You're looking for frog, the copywriter. The renovation, every happiness, murder bimbo.

I wish I was wherever you are!

it's not just that Mamdani is charming af (he is), it's that he is normalizing the idea that children are full members of society that we all share a collective responsibility for

I LOVEEEEE this.

UNREALISTIC?! IN THIS REALITY?

After the upheaval we will need to update uniforms and if we keep cops they MUST wear the silliest hat. People need to see American cops and be like “omg hahah why do they wear those silly hats”

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

How do you cope with the impending loss of a pet? Box wine, Bridgerton and peanut butter cups in bed doesn’t feel sustainable and isn’t doing the trick.

At 'Post Modern Times,' There's Free Food for All (Except ICE) Until the Federal Invasion Ends - Racket 'We absolutely cannot go on as we have,' says the owner of the south Minneapolis brunch spot.

The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
