If you haven't read it yet, The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid might be nice to dip into as you're feeling better πŸ’œ The prose and the pages are both very spacious and it's amazing

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon too! I would offer a book rec, but reading is probably out 😒

If you have any energy to read, EVIL GENIUS by @poingu.bsky.social got me through a terrible back spasm recently! I devoured it. www.harpercollins.com/products/evi...

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

I loved this interview!

"One of the great weaknesses of our era is that we get lone superhero movies that suggest that our big problems are solved by muscly guys in spandex, when actually the world mostly gets changed through collective effort."

β€œLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will β€” and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

Yesterday and today I had appointments I expected to wait for and decided to bring @aaronburch.bsky.social’s book with me so I could finally crack it. Yesterday I forgot my glasses and today there was no wait. I guess I have to do this the old fashioned way: Make some damn time to read!

I’m missing your faces at AWP, but I’m much happier to be home celebrating this kid’s 18th birthday! I don’t usually post about him on social media because his life is his own to keep sane. But he gave me permission to post today. Eighteen!! I’ve never known such love ❀️

It was so worth it. The chairs did not recline but The Ocean Blue was amazing and the venue, which is beautiful, has a cat 🐱

Yeah, standing for that long is straight out, esp on a weeknight. This venue has chairs!

I'm going to a concert tonightβ€”a weeknight!β€”with my husband, like we're some kind of youngsters! I hope the chairs recline.

Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...
