We probably won’t have this HERE until this crew is gone, but it’s still excellent news

English teachers? Thank you Miss Holtby, Mrs Heyday, Ms Peterson. Also Mr Coyle, at the end of high school, with whom I had running insult-battles we both enjoyed. (The class liked it best when he gave me a 500 or even a 1000 word ‘penance’ to write if I crossed a line. Which, um, did happen, yes.)

I actually teach my social media class as a management/creative-writing split for this reason! It’s a service learning class and they’re working for real nonprofit organizations, I want their experience to be as real as possible so they leave with work experience they can use on their resumes

I know we all love to whine about the left eating itself, but the right is so so so fucking ready to eat itself and this terrible administration just set the table.

‘Could he ask them not to feel so certain about what they felt?’ —Lawrence Raab It is a poem about a professor teaching ‘Antony and Cleopatra’ but it is such an of-this-moment thought. (Raab is a deeply-admired poet for me. This is from his collection *What We Don’t Know About Each Other*)

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement. YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

This is super fucked up and as an old I am here to tell you cops will extremely often make up cruising charges just to harass some queers. This shit had tapered off in the 90s but now here we are.

Absolutely the fuck not

OH, COME ON!!! No one's going to write "Anti-Ice," they're going to engrave FUCK ICE or nothing. No one believes you, Patel.

Who are all these bullet etchers?! I believe fucking nothing at this point.

Here's the thing you also shouldn't vote for Cuomo because if he has committed any crimes (and who are we kidding) the FBI is going to find out and use those to flip him just like they flipped Adams

Oh it’s clear. It’s clear that Tylenol doesn’t cause autism and this crappy headline isn’t going to get the fascists to give you back your funding either. I’m so tired.

Tomorrow I'll have sorearms. I'll be achy, and I'll run a low-grade fever. Bee Eff Dee.

These demons have come against the house of Chastain!!!

Hey artist (and writer)! Yes, you! Stop what you're doing and stretch out your hands and wrists. Do wrist rotations, press your hands flat on a wall and straighten your arms, count to 20. Both hands. Take care of the body that's taking care of you. 💚

there's this maddening hypocrisy where people will say things out one side of their mouth like "obviously people who are deeply engaged in action on some issue can't always post publicly about what they're doing," and then turn right around and do "I saw Goody Proctor not posting about the horrors"

OR you didn't see me posting about it because I was REPOSTING the voices of way more informed people instead of saying my own words about it!

Yes and also we all aren't outrage jukeboxes, you can't just press a button and have us be outraged on request. We're all allowed to focus on what we want and where we feel our voices will be effective right now, and trust that others will fight the other fights worth fighting. It's a group effort.

Check your freezer: FDA expands recall on radioactive frozen shrimp

Tylenol sales are gonna soar.

btw: THIS is where your "ethically sourced sage" comes from at your local "spiritual" shop, people! You should not be buying white sage. *Ever*. It should be gifted or self-grown. It is one of the most ILLEGALLY POACHED AND SOLD medicines. And when poached, it becomes sick too. Don't buy it.

It’s well documented that right-wing agitators caused violence and property destruction during 2020 protests to inflame and instigate and that’s gonna get a lot worse.

Kimmel not only being back but giving a monologue that will get rave reviews in the same papers panning the UN disaster speech is going to chew at Trump’s ego like a wolverine.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

As I was saying…

A bat with rabies was found on Main Street here in Pullman juts last week.

LMAO

What Jimmy Kimmel said tonight was amazing. He brought up reproductive justice, our new dept of war, housing, healthcare. He called it what it is authoritarianism. And millions of people can't watch it bit.ly/wehavefriendseverywhere

Dear friends, As have become a habit, I mark each #autumnequinox by sharing a small poem by Xin Qiji. I also start my translation cycle of Chinese and Japanese poems and prose that mark the twenty-four lunisolar micro-seasons. Translation notes blogged here: #everynightapoem

So much for everyone who thinks these things are just cute toys that let parents take video of their kids discreetly. Meta is building facial recognition and AI into future models.

suddenly remembering a few months ago when the Trump administration said building an actual sewer system so Black people in Lowndes County, AL didn't have to live in raw sewage anymore was "illegal DEI" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Because I have Crohn's, I can't take NSAIDs - those are drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. People with inflammatory bowel disease can't take NSAIDs at all because it can actually cause the IBD to permanently worsen. The only drug I, or anyone with IBD, can take for pain relief is Tylenol.

And because Tylenol is one of the only pain and fever reducers safe for pregnant women, it also supports the idea that good mothers (potential mothers, women…) should suffer willingly.

Pope Leo: "DID I STUTTER!?"

Dolan’s out on rapture day after comparing Charlie Kirk to Jesus. What a delight!

When Bilbo is your Editor...

One thing re today’s acetaminophen disinfo fiasco: it reminded me a lot of the bleach injection presser from Trump I, which both at the time and in hindsight was one of the real shark-jump moments of that term. People don’t like medical craziness

I just find everything feels a bit better when I watch this.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Neighboring states have also reported infections: 10 in Alabama, three in Mississippi (one fatal) and 13 in Florida, where eight people died. Cases have even been detected as far north as Massachusetts. www.upi.com/Health_News/...

If there's anyone in Michigan, specifically this school district, utilize that 1st Amendment right. Here's their go fund me: www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

@guygavrielkay.bsky.social OH, HEY! 😂

Fun fact: Doctor Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, close friend of Trump and RFK Jr., and self-admitted fraudulent supplement huckster, sells multiple forms of leucovorin through his supplement company, iHerb, which he didn’t divest when taking his federal gov role.

Fascists: “we must eliminate the pattern recognition people” The pattern recognition people: “hey this bullshit you made up about us sure looks like a grift side hustle to go with your eugenics”

Checking in with the Texas Education Agency whether it's going to investigate teachers who make fun of the illness and death of liberals and progressives ... or wheter that only applies to their MAGA puppet masters. [J/K obviously TEA is just as fascist as the rest of the villains.]

A false prophet, sure.

My most epically timed social media communication of 2025 is in. One of my Cali friends DMed me to ask if I was still awake, and I chose to reply, "TADAAAAAAH" JUST as the 4.6 earthquake started for him. 🤣

I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

Well, you heard it here first. Apparently I am forty-odd fantasy books worth of right coded. I’d offer to diminish and go into the west, but I already downsized and moved to New Mexico.
