"I had an overwhelming sense of being moved by the moon...it is a real place, and when we have that perspective and we compare it to our home of the Earth it just reminds us how much we have in common - everything we need the Earth provides, and that is in and of itself somewhat of a miracle."

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

I started covering this last year, and I can't overstate how important this is: the Trump administration officially labeled some of the most commonly-used forms of birth control as 'abortion' jessica.substack.com/i/173447780/...

An underrated addendum to the Bowling Alone story is that North America's largest bowling operator (Bowlero) is a publicly traded company whose business model involves buying mom and pop alleys, shutting down the leagues, and trying to attract casual, higher paying, one-off players.

That's right

Caster Semenya is mounting a class action lawsuit against the Olympics for their patently discriminatory ban on trans and intersex athletes

draw is work

A lot of praising of moms in the comments, but my point was that moms are not different from other women, or even from men.

In all seriousness though, elder millennial jokes aside, I think it’s important to resist the media framing of any mainstream resistance to the status quo as just the shrill nonsense of middle-aged women with nothing better to do. This isn’t the first time they’ve run out this playbook.

comics are a miracle (/finally had a good drawing day)

"You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right." Goddamn, Melville could really cook.

Alright yall, my inbox is full from folks privately reaching out (please always feel free to publicly post if your contract allows) about CURRENT COVER RATES in 2026 Strap in

we’re announcing it tomorrow officially but there’s some cool new stuff on the site: diskettepress.com

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

What I kept thinking about, reading all these horror stories of working at Noma, is how the restaurant’s exceptionality, its sheer extraordinariness, was essential to its culture of abuse — the institution weaponized its status. My @newyorker.com column ⬇️

NEW: They Didn’t Want to Have C-Sections. A Judge Would Decide How They Gave Birth. Two Florida women had to attend virtual court hearings while in labor to argue for their right to choose their own medical care. By @amyyurkanin.bsky.social

I didn’t think I held the capacity to be shocked anymore but holy shit???????

part of woke 2 will be sending the Minnesota Defenders on a bandwagon tour of europe to rebuild shattered goodwill like the harlem globetrotters

I have 800 ideas but also 80lbs of laundry to process

I don’t think people who aren’t regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.

A while back my very offline husband started saying that in a few years we’d start looking at the internet the way we look at lead pipes: efficient and affordable but it poisons everything that passes through it. I think about that all the time.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life. I'm serious, read it all please

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Turns out my biggest hobby in middle age is lovingly yelling at fellow working middle aged moms, begging them to do less and volunteer less and sign kids up for less stuff and instead…hang out and enjoy life and family? I feel very passionately about this!!!

I think LLMs have uses, but "1,000 targets, including a girls elementary school we hit twice with precision munitions" is indeed representative of their state-of-the-art—and likely a fundamental limitation of the technology. Sometimes sloppiness is okay; sometimes it's 160 dead children.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

My wife says I like The Pitt because "where else do you see competent people in positions of authority trying to help?"

Good morning! Yes, this is he

Good words

This is a policy of genocide.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’” GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

something v encouraging to see lately is how clear eyed people have become about assigning fault to institutions rather than individuals. BAFTA/BBC tried to throw that poor man under the bus by seating him where they did and airing what they did but no one’s buying it

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana (Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

no such thing as other people's children

as long as folks are enthusiastically donating to state level trans orgs today, figured I'd reup this list the @them.us team and I put together a few years back: www.them.us/story/orgs-f... (some info may be outdated, but use this as a jumping-off point!)

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

btw for trans women to offer this kind of practical warning and sympathy is a serious mitzvah and we cis women really owe it to them (and to ourselves!) to step up our solidarity in kind

ilhan omar might be the bravest american in congress right now. solidarity to her forever, i wish she could be president

Shame on anyone who told women they were silly to worry that, post-Dobbs, birth control would be next.

“i’m still punk” i whisper to myself as i turn down the music in my car so i can see better

BREAKING: A push to name one of Chicago’s snowplows “Abolish ICE,” clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, won the city’s annual snowplow naming contest, officials announced. @wttw.bsky.social

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...
