When my spouse was taking care of his grandmother, who lived with us, a basket or backpack on the walker was de rigueur.

Did you know November is National Family Caregivers Month? Did you know there are 63 MILLION family caregivers in the US? I made the website, Disability at Home, to chronicle the ingenious hacks that caregivers and disabled folks create to make life work -- check it out! www.disabilityathome.org

Me, reading aloud an excerpt of a Boston clergyman entreating whalemen to give a percentage of their spoils to the church. My spouse: “Is that by Cotton Mather?” Reader, it was.

so many animals have to live without seasoning

veterans need more than honor—they need healthcare, counseling, and reentry services this veterans day hate the government officials who use our families and neighbors as symbols rather than people worth a damn

our 100 year old furnace has gently turned on for another cold season

Was going to make a poster tonight but this inspired me to try my hand at a zine

hello darkness my old friend

*taps microphone* *inhales* REGULATIONS ARE WRITTEN IN BLOOD

You can never convince me that the system has to be the way that it is when things have not always been this way. Once, there were god-kings; many of them lost their heads. Anything created can be destroyed. Whatever cannot sustain will be changed.

The government is actively trying to make sure people go without food and water and medical insurance and basic necessities. let that sink in.

this whiteness keeps her ruins for ever new

and today we have flurries! i was right!

I’ve seen several Godzilla flicks in the theater over the past few years and you can feel, viscerally, that we are all praying for Godzilla to rise from the sea and give us what we deserve

every day is someone’s first day to [insert topic here] on the internet, and if you crave and desire discourse that’s not centered on the first day, you have to read a book. there’s no substitute.

Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...

So many amazing small presses out there putting out interesting stuff you'll never find anywhere else. Four of my favorites are: @malarkeybooks.bsky.social @shotgunhoney.com @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social Cornerstone Press They've all put out great stuff this year, with more about to be released

neighbor was walking his dog and i was walking mine and he tried to make small talk and i said it smelled like snow so

really awesome episode

As a debut indie author, I’m really grateful to have found the readers I have with these two books. Would be honored to have them considered alongside 2025’s other great new releases!

I promise nothing complete; because any human thing supposed to be complete, must for that very reason infallibly be faulty.

already been a long day and it’s not even noon yet 😭

amy goodman should get an award for being, arguably, the only good boomer

writing is a tool for thinking

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Jesus fucking christ this is so evil. Thinking about that Graeber quote about how in the 70's the US legalized interest rates previously only seen from organized crime Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Left NYC ten years ago this month. My apartment in Brooklyn was the longest I ever lived at a single address, my whole life. It was a revolving door of artists—some you know, some you don’t. Feels like yesterday.

i need to ruin more

I’m explicitly trying to no longer self-sabotage but it just comes so easily to me.

Newsrooms often hear more from those who doubt the science, leading many to believe that climate contrarianism is more prevalent than it is. @amywestervelt.bsky.social @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/envi...

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.

Ms. Rachel’s public advocacy for the children of Palestine is admirable, and her videos are certainly less aesthetically stultifying than alternatives like CoCoMelon. But we should ask more of educational content for kids.

say what you will about jimmy mcmillan but npr just said “the rent is too damn high” in nyc as a matter of course (same delivery and everything)
