If you haven't read this selection of short pieces by local/non-local authors about the banned books they read as kids, you're missing out! Words from @kathleenmrooney.bsky.social @bobcalhoun.bsky.social @semibold.bsky.social @dkossy.bsky.social, me, and others!

I contributed a little something to this tribute to the banned books of our youth! Thanks for including me @mrdankelly.bsky.social !
For as much as I generally dislike myself, it takes me a long time to get lonely. Either that or I’m so used to being alone I don’t notice it.
I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...
I stressed myself into heart palpitations about this tonight. Calling these people evil doesn’t seem harsh enough.
Patrolling to make sure no White Sox fans sneak north of the border.
this is the mainstream position, and electeds are playing catch-up to their voters. Much love to @repcasar.bsky.social @ramirez.house.gov and @usprogressives.bsky.social for leading this effort. It’s long past time we stop arming Netanyahu’s genocide.

Today's resolution weaponized our broad condemnation of political violence in order to rewrite history and prop up someone whose words harmed and incited violence against our communities, our neighbors, and people I love. 2/3
happy to see @ramirez.house.gov on the "No" list, but I would've expected nothing less.
Are you required to review these books?

I honestly feel like I could crush a skull in my bare hands right now.
the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history
I called my Republican representative's office back this morning (I called yesterday to ask that he vote no) and said that since he voted for it, I will forward all my medical bills to his office if/when I lose my insurance. And I suggest that others do the same. Make them see what they've done.
hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot
Zohran Mamdani’s campaign had a visual language like no other, drawing on hand-painted bodega signage and New York iconography in a completely fresh way.
oohhhhhh that hits hard.
I think I was just visited by a ghost cat! I felt a cat rub up against my legs, looked down to see who it was — no cat. I just checked on both of my living cats, and they are solidly asleep in another room.
Take note.
this dumb fucking country
America has effectively legalized The Purge. That’s how this feels because that’s all this is. If anyone can put on a vest and a mask and abduct you, you just have The Purge.
Mayor Brandon Johnson’s veto of the snap curfew law
Mayor Brandon Johnson makes it official: He has vetoed to an ordinance that would allow Chicago Police Department officials to preemptively impose a curfew anywhere in the city and begin enforcing it with just 30 minutes notice. The text of the first mayoral veto in 19 years: @wttw.bsky.social
“I have in my hand a piece of filth by Paul McCartney & The Frog Chorus which contains the line ‘Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum’. I don’t want to hear about your nether regions Mr McCartney and I’m not playing this shit on my radio programme. Here’s Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Relax.”
Birthday message from JT - 2025 edition!
I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.
in a world so consistently hostile to larger bodies, I must once again give props to my besties at Seattle’s Sea Wolf and Oxbow bakeries, who ping me from time to time to help them make sure their seating is inclusive
normalize asking your fat friends for advice on furniture! we appreciate it!!!!
Step down or shut up! Confirming these people should be career ending and the only reason it isn't is because these people work within a system where cowardice is the ceiling and cruelty is the floor
Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.
But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.
