JFC.

In Dublin last year, an annoying interviewer demanded of me: “Your country has been overtaken by fascists. Why are you smiling?” I was too jetlagged to have a sensible answer so I said, “I’m smiling because I have a knife between my teeth.” The knife might look like this:

The Grand Jury, a body of ordinary Americans, managed to put a stop to the tyranny of the elites for a moment. Maybe we should have a form of government where ordinary Americans run the country instead of the elites. What's a name for that kind of government?

Honestly, besides "responsibilities," what is getting you out of bed right now? Because my answer has been "coffee" for a long time but that ship's close to sailing.

Physical copies just arrived!

the biggest lie about #adoption is that it is designed to protect the interests, needs, and rights of children.

lmao

This is one of the reasons I have no sympathy to spare for infertile couples who are white and wealthy. Nonwhite people have had their fertility violently stolen from them for generations, and white people's solution to their own infertility is to steal other people's children.

In America, respected attorneys are forced to perform sporting acts with brooms in order to have their criticism of government brutality heard

BEEP BOOP THIS IS NORA'S AUTOMATED STRETCH CHECK. today is Tuesday. everyone do your stretchies. 💪🤖

Got my Senses Working Overtime.

And we don’t have to guess what they mean, because we can read Project 2025 ourselves and see that “pornography” is shorthand for LGBTQ people existing publicly. That’s what they’re working to ban, censor, and restrict online under the guise of “protecting” kids from porn

50% of my Etsy sales this month will be donated to the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition to support their fight for immigrant justice. Order notebooks, bookmarks, zines, and wall art and help support an important cause! Link in bio, thank you! #Crafts #WritingCommunity #WritingLife

lmao

It is, in fact, the most New York poster that ever postered in New York

yes, that’s why we’re going to elect someone who will break up their monopolies and tax them at 99%. economic warfare on the elite class is a litmus test that must be passed for any candidate in 2028.

From the top rope! ✊🔥

objectively correct opinion. these were more than musical performances, of which there have been many great ones. they were fully realized emotional experiences that conveyed something meaningful about both the artist and the world and created cultural moments that will be talked about for decades.

The Hampton Institute Library School opened in 1925 and issued professional teacher-library degrees to 183 black women by the time of its closure in 1939. It was funded by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of NY. #BlackHistoryMonth

"If you 'know what time it is,' you understand the hour is late and you’re prepared to do whatever it takes. It gives carte blanche for total ruthlessness in politics because you understand the stakes." @lkatfield.bsky.social talks to @inthesetimes.com about her brilliant new book, Furious Minds.

Happy 15th anniversary to this tweet:

“In an eight-month study of how generative AI changed work habits at a U.S.-based technology company with about 200 employees, we found that employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked to do so.”

I keep seeing... "Democrats need to have a reckoning about it's connections to Jeffery Epstein" i want to be as clear as possible... They can have them.

the reason i never open threads except to post a rant that only followers can comment on is that when i do, the first post i see is *always* from some random engagement-farming account posting a take like “let’s be real, a kid deserves a good ass whipping every now and then”

reposting this fucking epic flyer with alt text

this is maybe a weird thing to think about a 5 year old but i hope he grows up big and happy and strong and starts ******* cops

leveling with you. when my adoptive dad died in December I thought he was 100% broke. but there was a little money I didn’t know about. I’m using some to treat myself to a set of Paul brakes (extremely fancy “heirloom quality” bike parts) for my drop-bar commuter bike. a bit of retail therapy, ngl.

Medical concern is often treated as risk. For disabled families, that can mean surveillance instead of care. This post breaks that down. #adopteesky

I now owe $2500 for this visit, with insurance, for them to have given me some Tylenol and Toradol on a hallway stretcher and send me home with no imaging. No, I cannot afford to pay any of this. Our healthcare system is irreparably broken.

is this the weirdest form of fascism that has ever manifested in the modern world? gotta be top 5

Saying you brought children to pedophile island is an interesting approach

BEEP BOOP THIS IS NORA'S AUTOMATED MED CHECK. today is Tuesday. everyone take your meds 🤖💊

that this regularly happens with intercountry #adoption in the United States—the most ravenous consumer of other countries’ children—and that the US has not ratified the international convention enshrining the rights of children: not a coincidence.

the biggest lie about #adoption is that it is designed to protect the interests, needs, and rights of children.

'Merica, the inn with no room...

The FT has a story about Indonesia planning to possibly send troops to Gaza, but it says they would just be deployed in Israeli controlled parts of the Palestinian Territory. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

as it happens a person who works in public radio just reached out to me this morning to talk about applying to library school.

they fucked around and now? Well now everyone is finding out

There are over 75,000 internationally adopted adults who aren't citizens because they weren't naturalized upon arriving to the US. If you'd like to help internationally adopted adults become citizens, please contact these sponsors. This is an injustice and needs to change! 3/3

The 2024 Adoptee Citizenship Act has become the 2025 US HR5492 PAAF (Protect Adoptees and American Families). This bill "aims to provide automatic United States citizenship to certain internationally adopted individuals who were not previously granted citizenship." 1/3
