Imagine all the people like this we haven’t heard about at all and might never hear about

Every time the subject of Jimmy Fallon’s spinelessness comes up, I think of this passage from Tina Fey’s Bossypants

As with all of this since the dawn of American policing, "when appropriate" is "whenever they feel like"

“All of this feels ridiculous because that’s exactly what it is. But the larger goal is to inure you to the strangeness of it all so that when these products — be they movies, shows, or TikToks — finally come to market, your reaction is ‘Sure, why not?’”

Please, take it from a Californian born and bred: you cannot trust Gavin Newsom. I don’t care if he has Good Posters working for him; he’ll sell vulnerable people down the river without blinking an eye.

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

I literally wrote earlier today that ICE and CBP are "a portrait of an authoritarian secret police that seems set to model itself on history’s worst fascist enforcers." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to... Case in point here:

“Enigmas never age” But 12-year-olds do, and they remember what you did, and sometimes, they get the justice they deserve. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

Yesterday after my flu and covid shots I was so naive. I didn't particularly hurt and even went out running errands after. Today I learned that was all to get my guard down. Ow. Head hurts. Arms hurt. Frankly my whole body hurts. 😭

I'm THRILLED to share the cover of my speculative fiction debut, HOLLOWAY (pub date 5/4/26! art by Sarah Jarrett, cover designed by Corina Lupp & Jenna Stempel-Lobel). Autism? Anti-vaxxers? Art? Philosophy? Reverberations & cycles through history? If you say "yes, please," then HOLLOWAY is for you.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you give a list of the prescriptions you take to a federal government that has directly targeted people with chronic illness, mental illness, disability, autism, etc, with the eugenic language of elimination and stated outright they’re everything wrong with the country.

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

With #DVpit only a week away, we ask anyone planning to participate to thoroughly review the rules & guidelines first: dvpit.carrd.co - This is a pitch event for unagented MARGINALIZED WRITERS & ARTISTS seeking rep - Must have a completed manuscript or portfolio to pitch - Pitch only once/hour

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

I keep reading headlines and articles that make me upset with myself for not finishing a short story I started writing last year. I keep coming back to it and touching base with it every so often but it's not submittable in any way yet so I really just need to get organized and get on that

Lately my body has been having several random pains that could theoretically be solved by daily stretching but that requires me to.... not live in the depression nest I call a bedroom.

The rules from the Department of Housing and Urban Development would allow major changes to public housing and Section 8 vouchers: - full-time work requirements - 2-year time limits - stripping aid from whole families if one member is in the country illegally www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Evil has a face and its wearing a neck gaiter.

1) This isn't just FOREIGN FILMS. It is foreign made films, like Black Phone 2, which needed to shoot on location in Canada for, you know, real snow. 2) There is no mechanism in place to collect these tariffs as it is not a good held up at customs. 3) He's making foreign made movies ~$32 a ticket?

The audacity is truly astounding. “Yeah, we’re stealing, but it’s on YOU GUYS to ask us not to.” The tech bro mind is something else.

The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

I’m going to write a letter this week. It would be cool if y’all did too.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

and the more of us do it the less resources to go around tbh hahaha 🤫

This article about the Elfashir siege is so illuminating, and at the same time infuriating & BAFFLING. It is beyond comprehension that *all this* is happening to a population, and no one in power feels any sense of urgency at all. www.theguardian.com/global-devel... A must read! #KeepEyesOnSudan

Colombian President Gustavo Petro gave one of the most chilling speeches in recent history before the United Nations, and it has been totally ignored by US news media.

Sooo I was at a coffee shop and the girl in line behind me decided to ask if I’d heard about Jesus. In the United States. In 2025. “I have heard the sales pitch, yes,” I said. “I’m happy with my current religious services provider and not looking to make a switch.”

Assata Shakur exchanged letters with Audre Lorde from prison, and Lorde wrote for her the poem "For Assata": I dream of your freedom as my victory and the victory of all dark women who forego the vanities of silence 👇Here's the whole poem

There are so many revolutionary words Assata Shakur gave us that echo through the generations. I am sitting with Assata's words on grief, of a loved one dying, losing another Black woman revolutionary & the harm coming at our communities. What are the words Assata gave to you that are echoing?

I'm sorry, what?

It's Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday. Today, if you find yourself arguing inside your head w/someone who's not present, or whom it's not safe or not fair for you to argue with, gently move your mind away. Do this as many times as you need.

"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!" Absolutely massive crowd at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Blocks long!

OUR PRESSURE IS WORKING! We spent all last week on the Hill pushing for articles of impeachment of RFK Jr. It's time to crank up the pressure EVEN MORE! You can help us! @standupforscience.bsky.social #impeachthequack

this is literally all i have been thinking since i saw the headline bc none of the articles are using the right image presumably bc they are all cowards

One of our kitties has been hiding and peeing in non litter boxes again. Hopefully his insulin will help with this but not fun to go try to dig through Christmas presents only to discover it's been peed on.

Chicago area: if you believe you may recognize this federal agent who choked a protester last week, please text us 📱

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE HAPPY HELLO SUNSHINE DAY!! ☀️☀️☀️

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

Black boys and their stories in YA are often pushed aside or not supported enough. So I want to highlight this beautiful YA that focuses on queer Black boys and necromancy. Please support author Louangie Bou-Montes

This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

BREAKING: Our opposition and upset over Jimmy Kimmel being taken off air have led to Kimmel coming back. Let's organize that much noise for reporters like Mario Guevara detained (despite being here legally) for filming police & ICE:

Apparently, it’s socially unacceptable to compare anyone or anything to Hitler. Mention Hitler, and you’ll be shouted down with a chorus of “Godwin’s Law”. Well sod that. Until we start comparing Trump to Hitler, we’re unprepared for what is barrelling towards us. 🧵1/4

Forever disturbed by the way the cops are at the beck and call of the most irritating white person you've ever met as an armed hall monitor
