I want a million beautiful print books. But one thing that isn’t spoken about enough is how having a large library is a privilege that mostly people who own homes can afford. Last time we moved, my boxes of books were heavy af. Since then, I’ve been super selective, because we’re still renting 🥲

Free on my Substack. First in a multipart series, and I’m shortening my articles lately to make them quicker to digest ☺️

Why can’t I just live my life as a brat with access to funds so I can purchase all the books I want and weed? 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Can we NOT burn YET ANOTHER Library of Alexandria

*Me at any author out here trying to normalize using AI to literally write their books for them.*

Going to give this app a try again, but not sure how the climate is around here lately 👀👀👀

People 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 care. Therein lies the true problem that’s destroying our species.

Daily reminder that your favorite celebrities aren’t your friends…and they don’t know you or GAF about you. The 1% is responsible for all of this. 👇🏼

ICYMI — “FRIDAY evening theSenate rejected a war powers resolution that would have blocked Trump from making further attacks on Iran, despite widespread disapproval of last week’s strikes… Rand Paul (R) voted for it… Fetterman (D) voted against…”

So “vote Blue no matter who” only applied to the Centrist, Establishment Dems I see… #ZohranMamdani

People immediately pivoting to slot Lander into a progressive primary challenge are missing the implicit deal in the cross-endorsement: he's going to be deputy mayor, essentially COO of New York City. He's going to use his experience with the inner workings of government to help Mamdani deliver.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

As they take a break from dragging Black ppl (“DEI”) & Brown ppl (ICE) to begin dragging Muslim ppl (Islamophobia) please never forget the root of where this all truly comes from. Racism. Anyone—𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦—denying that is more of a problem than the people who house this intolerance & hatred in them.

“When we count war victims, we usually focus on immediate casualties: soldiers and civilians killed in battle, cities destroyed, and populations displaced. It’s unfortunate that we’re programmed as a species to ignore civilian casualties, especially children.“ open.substack.com/pub/nisabell...

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

A reminder that the Washington Post endorsed confirming Pam Bondi. Support pro-democracy independent media.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

The deconfliction negotiations window has ended, Iran has launched six ballistic missiles at the US’ largest base in the region. US and Qatar air defences intercepted the first volley. No casualties reported. Airspace closed. The Trump regime has called an emergency session.

Iran says they hit a base outside populated areas as they ‘want to de-escalate with America.’ Nobody wants to invade Iran and Iran doesn’t want to invade anyone. This war has shown that nukes and even warfare don’t work anymore in the modern world. 🤷 It’s Star Trek or bust!!!! 🔭 🪐 🧑‍🚀 🌙

A federal judge ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was wrongly removed from the U.S. earlier this year and imprisoned in El Salvador, should not be detained pending trial on immigrant smuggling charges. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I repeat for the final time: If @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social doesn’t win…consider the Democrats a lost cause.

Who thinks all our future presidential ballots should be hand counted?

Trump is to blame for our military bases near Iran being targeted. Him and his enablers. Never let anyone in the world forget it.

Damn right!!!

Iran said there were “no signs of contamination” at the three nuclear sites that US airstrikes targeted. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

The fact that I’ve pounded out as many articles as I have over the last few days…and I’m still too nervous to take the leap and post any of them 🥴

I can’t beg you enough: please start caring about the long term environmental impacts of war on our planet. Just because the bombs aren’t going off directly in your area, it doesn’t mean you won’t eventually deal with the same environmental effects we’re all starting to experience worldwide 😥

Our nation and planet cannot survive four years of this. It is not sustainable.

i almost can’t read this it makes me so angry. delusional grifters with purity fetishes and eugenic worldviews have brought pain, suffering and death to children www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

J.K. Rowling is a menace to society whose anti-trans rhetoric is violent and encourages offline violence. Her telling people to take pictures of suspected trans women in bathrooms and disseminate them is sexual harassment. And it puts everyone in the women’s bathroom in danger.

Good morning to everyone that has realized American Imperialism must come to an end 🙏🏼

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

War inflicts severe and lasting damage across multiple dimensions. But it does help the 1% get wealthier 🤑 Let’s break down the facts the American Imperialist Machine doesn’t want the average person discussing 👇🏽

It’s not that I’m against AIPAC pouring money into politics to try to protect Jewish people worldwide. It’s that they’ve proven to be willing to do this at the expense of all other marginalized communities in this country (and the world) and that. Must. End. 1/2

There is literally no argument against Zohran Mamdani that is anywhere in the same realm as serial sexual harassment of government employees and then hijacking $60 mil+ of taxpayer dollars to defend yourself and attack the people who tried to hold you accountable.

Next year, we will be campaigning to replace every Republican in Congress and every Democrat who has failed to stand up. We need a revolution in our politics, and the time is NOW.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

Many people want to "Have a baby" but what they don't realize is the baby eventually grows into a person
