A public TV and radio station in Western Alaska serves dozens of villages damaged by Typhoon Halong. But with federal funding eliminated, KYUK makes severe cuts to its staff and news department. n.pr/4qVulQV

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

CINCINNATI! come to the BOOKS BY THE BANKS festival today at the main library if you want to talk about the afghan whigs

I hope that a day will come where the seriousness and vileness of child SA will supersede the need to make jokes about the perpetrators and their sexual deviancy. Every giggle and cackle happening right now is at the expense of those children. It makes me want to vomit.

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

It just feels like everything is being flattened. Rape, genocide, wildfires, etc etc is all just fodder for internet discourse rather than turning points that lead to… something, anything better or different.

The incredible, indomitable, inspirational Alice Wong has left us. I'm so grateful to have known her on social media, and so grateful for all the words she shared with us and all the actions she encouraged us into making. May we live up to her example. (so you don't have to go to Instagram)

ICYMI: Lt. Col. Robert Stirm, the Air Force officer whose return home after 5½ years as a POW in Vietnam was captured in the iconic, Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph "Burst of Joy," reportedly died this week at the age of 92. Read more about Stirm here: bit.ly/4peSiBk

The nationwide strike coincides with the company’s popular holiday Red Cup Day, one of the coffee giant’s busiest days of the year.

Can confirm. I am okay and more motivated than ever to speak up. Nothing scares this administration more. Their power lies in our silence.

attn fountain pen friends:

Once again @govpritzker.illinois.gov I ask, “What exactly is stopping you from having the Illinois State Police protect these people and their exercise of their 1st amendment rights?” Until you make it clear that local law enforcement is there to protect your constituents, your big talk is empty.

Priests being arrested

I’m trying to keep up. They’re going after press now. Press who’d thanked the cops only moments earlier. Did they think they’d be immune?

A priest is thrown to the ground and tied. “This is wrong” he looks directly into Reuter’s camera as he says it.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

This barred owl is watching you to ensure that you do not buy Starbucks coffee during the strike. Owls have excellent hearing, so it'll know if you cross the picket line. And they fly nearly silently. You'll never know what hit you.

i am saddled with the thought of how different our world would be if we believed women.

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

Survivors are going to be feeling a lot of feelings today. I am holding survivors in my heart, today and always.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Nauseous all day - I won’t and can’t stop thinking of all of the women who were involved. May they be safe. May they be happy. May they be healthy. May they live with ease.

Did you know that the government funding bill has a provision that forces the DOJ to give millions in taxpayer money to at least 8 Republican Senators investigated after the Jan 6 insurrection? Not exaggerating. And when I proposed an amendment last night to stop it, House Republicans voted it down.

Vast sin-concealing chaos

#RIPSallyKirkland was such an original, larger than life on & off screen. I was the production coordinator on Roger Corman’s The Georgia Peaches & she was the film’s villain. Dumped by my then boyfriend in front of the entire crew, she made sure I had so much fun that I’d forget him. She succeeded.

I spent last week reading and re reading and diving deep into the worlds Patti Smith recreated for her new memoir, Breqd of Angels: www.salon.com/2025/11/11/p...

I did not know this was being taught. It breaks my heart! Reading is *everything* and EVERY person deserves to learn the proper tools to do it.

If you feel overwhelmed, remember that you can still make a difference doing little things. A compliment or word of encouragement, a tip to a favorite takeout place, a donation to a local charity, an email to your favorite author, time with a pet, a walk outside, or a phone call to a loved one.

Tonight in 1990 — Laura Palmer’s killer was revealed on TWIN PEAKS. ABC insisted, and David Lynch + Mark Frost delivered a chilling episode. But Lynch hated closure, and he got his payback with a finale cliffhanger it took 25 years to resolve. And even then, he still left us wondering. #TwinPeaks

Cat was fascinated by (her first) snow. Unable to catch one flake through the window, sadly, despite digging at it.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Just a small snapshot of a very interesting point made by Finlay Johnson (CEO Association for Electronic Music) as part of a much bigger conversation about Nightlife in Scotland.

Chuck Schumer must go.

I am moving out of state and have an outdoor cat who is very skittish that I simply can’t take on a plane without risking life and limb. Would anyone in PDX like to adopt a moody gray lady? She could be fine inside a home with no other cats, she doesn’t tolerate them (hence outside). DM if so.
