I wrote this piece about 7th anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi's murder. On the costs of speaking the truth in today's world. And how Jamal's memory still stalks Saudi Arabia--- and the Washington Post. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Also post covid lots of people haven't had time to rebuild their emergency funds before this emergency. It's been a lot even if you have good resources

your daily reminder that hope is a floatation device- grab it with both hands 🖤

A little something regarding Saros ❤️

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

My brother was at this protest, he's a photojournalist with the Tribune. ICE shot him with a pepper ball from the roof of the building

I have successfully unloaded the last two boxes from my car. We now officially have everything in the new apartment from the move! Now we just need to finish unpacking

Mutuals from Twitter may remember when I decided to watch and rank every DCAU movie. It was 2021 and started with my first Covid infection but I kept going for fun. I got through 42 movies before we cut HBO Max and I stopped. It's been over a year. Then this trailer dropped youtu.be/gxaICzDFu2M?...

The temp move to SF meant I got way more active daily walking around the city and taking the stairs to Bart. Haven't changed anything else, but I've lost 11lbs since I moved up. Going through my bag of "too small" clothes in my effort to reduce stuff before the big move and a lot of it fits now 🥹

We literally do not have to accept that the Democrats are going to backslide on human rights. We don’t.

I love this so animation and the breakdown of it so much. Hell yeah 💙

It's crazy impressive but also I saw this after finishing an episode of @npr.org's Shortwave that talked about how climate change affects baseball. And thinking about how in Sacramento it's warmer than it is in Oakland right now, and how much hotter Vegas is. Just thinking about it...

This makes so much sense. He does a thoroughly fleshed out hour every week on current events expertly woven into really great stand-up. He's such an obvious pick as the person to carry the Daily Show into the next generation, only reason I can think he doesn't get it is he gets his own show

I loved my job as a field rep, but it doesn't compare to my job now. I have the best team that I get to see EVERY DAY! I can't emphasize enough that that's what I was missing before. My job title hasn't changed and it's a different kind of stress, but I'm happy I get to work with such amazing people

I'm gonna complain about something very silly for a minute. So I'm currently obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters. I love it, it's become a comfort movie for me in a very short period of time. But I have a problem. It's only available on Netflix

It was always gonna be all of us

It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

really does feel like if we can cyberbully the House into passing changes on the shit they openly hate and get it kicked back upstairs again there’s a chance it might not survive the Senate a second time if you live in a GOP state it’s time to ruin a House rep’s life

Can we nip this "Alligator Alcatraz" shit in the bud? We don't need to adopt their cutesy marketing when talking about the concentration camp in the Florida Everglades

NEW EDGAR WRIGHT MOVIE!!!!!!!

Turning 40 in an hour. I may not look it, but I feel it. I didn't wear my knee brace today so that hurts and I somehow messed up my shoulder? Which is fun Honestly really excited to hit this milestone, wasn't always sure I'd make it

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

Watching stuff pop of from the Bay Area is torture. I can't be there, but it doesn't mean I can't help. Blocking any and all doom and gloomers who say there's no point to protesting or the game is rigged so there's no point playing etc etc. These are not allies, no matter what their sn says

I've gone from 0 plants to 4 plants in a very short period of time. In a time when there's a lot of stressful things happening and I'm sad about being separated from Jake, I'm very happy about my little plants

I've been in the Bay area for about 4 months now. There's a ton of unique things between Northern and Southern Ca but the funniest one to me is how drivers act at protected turns.

If you're currently running a high-profile podcast or show, I am begging you to diversify, you can't lose. Having guests on is one thing but that's not a long-term solution, having your cast reflect your audience is never a losing bet with these things.

"it does nothing nothing for you to pull a punch at this moment."

cool cool apr '25 vs may '25 aftermath.site/gamurs-escap...

The mayor of Clarksdale, Mississippi, told TMZ that Warner Bros. is bringing a special screening of “Sinners” to the small town

seems like trump mainly uses “low IQ” to describe black people. of a piece with his birtherism and his insistence that there are specific, low-wage “black jobs” that must be protected from immigrants

Split Fiction is such a special game. The way it plays with platforming, cooperation and visuals is just so fun and refreshing. I'm having a great time with it 💙

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness. Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military. Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc. It’s eugenics

It's so depressing to me how quickly people have decided that safety regulations just don't matter. You really don't want botulism, listeria, or salmonella and there are very few companies who will put ethics over profits unless they're forced to. This is what government should be doing.

Oh man. I'm on the final 3 episodes and I'm gonna be crying in the theater before the opening scroll even starts 😭

Watching through select arcs and the final season of Clone Wars to prep for Revenge of the Sith tonight. I'm so excited, I don't think I've watched it since the series finale aired. I love the musical cues that allude to Anakin's future without being over the top. Such great work 💙💙💙

No, I’m sorry, if you’re telling people posting cat photos is a distraction from the real issues, you’re a Fed and you’re trying to make the movement eat itself.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Just uninstalled teams from my phone. Officially on vacation until next Thursday. @jakep47.bsky.social see you soooooooon!!!

Back from GDC and immediately diving into reviewing submissions for Wholesome Direct 😤✨ Loving the expansion of gameplay mechanics and quality I'm seeing so far wowowowowow
