Dreamt @maureenjohnsonbooks.com came back from Iceland with a renewed sense of passion, mission, and wonder about her work as a writer of Young Adult fiction. When she got back to New York, she got right to work authoring an anthology of short stories for Christmas titled SANTA VS. HELICOPTER

They’re all just looting the treasury now

how are my fellow worms doing tonight? eat up and enjoy the fall of the foes, they had it coming and, you know, you’ll feed up great on the decay

My understanding is that Iceland is just Busytown with Björk

I was looking for a jorb and then I found a jorb. Heaven knows I’m miserable now.

I finally bothered setting up my own website, but it’s just in moments here and there and it’s still nascent. I’m building the theme code out slowly and the posts are extremely haphazard drafts. Today, I added the standard eleventy image plugin and configured it.

Fix your heart or die, motherfucker.

When you’re ready to go to Iceland versus when you’re jet lagged and have no idea when you are. @maureenjohnsonbooks.com

My timeline has experienced a stark 1,000 percent increase in baseball discourse because of @katelinnea.bsky.social’s feed.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

coffee at 2pm won't affect your sleep adversely if you are pure of heart and spirit

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load. So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

These motherfuckers need to stay the fuck out of my town.

I have a blog now. spidercon.lol/posts/icelan...

We don't have the borealis so I'm just rubbing my eyes kinda hard

We used to have the Bureau of Labor Statistics collect inflation data but under Trump we’ve outsourced it to DoorDash

In an ideal world I would be dressing like this every single day

Hair-raising story by @attackerman.bsky.social with new documents showing that a detained journalist is being held by ICE for his Instagram likes.

As @maureenjohnsonbooks.com dances her way to Iceland, I remain vigilant that no one moves her apartment to another building while she’s not looking

The autism in me may be illegal soon but it shines a light that the despot bastards can never see.

the year is 2026. The White House has been demolished in favor of a golden tower made of gold colored paint and asbestos. The transportation secretary is personally punching travelers as their make their way through airport security. RFK goes school to school teaching kids not to wash their hands.

Please wish me a safe flight as I am currently in line to board @maureenjohnsonbooks.com’s plane to Iceland (hiding behind a trash can on the runway ready to grab hold of the wheel machinery to be stowed up in the belly of the aircraft along with baggage)

I’ve never seen such raw barbaric malevolence in my 42 years of life as I see openly displayed in Israel… and I live in the fucking US where right-wingers line up to donate millions to plain murderers specifically because they murdered minorities.

Wow, it’s like someone remembers how to be President.

I don’t use my drawing skills very often but when I do I try very hard to make it not suck

plz clap i drew a kite

Hayley Williams will be going on tour “with” Jack Antonoff’s Ally Coalition. 🎸🏳️‍🌈 The “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party” album tour will kick off in Atlanta, GA on March 28 and benefit TAC, providing support to LGBTQ youth in the arts. The tour concludes in Dublin, Ireland on June 29. 🍀

Saw a clip of Chris Cuomo calling Zohran petty for referencing Mario Cuomo in his speech and it’s pretty interesting about where we are as a country that they had super pacs linking Zohran to 9/11 but still feel totally free to call someone else classless.

Bullshit is the lingua franca of America

Why did @theverge.com serve me this ad trying to tell me to utterly fuck up the mice in my home? @reckless.bsky.social

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

What is up fellow dirtbags?

The library decided they hate the old logo and had no idea what they really wanted, so I chucked revising the old logo in the fuck it bucket and decided to draw from scratch the shit I actually believe in myself.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

We are out here fighting over whether we should keep burning the atmosphere or if people should have enough food to eat, and meanwhile the spiders are learning to cooperate. You do not want the spiders to cooperate. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/s...

Fine, I'll do it: Rep. Ro Khanna, a member of the Medicare for All and Congressional Progressive Caucuses who represents Silicon Valley, is the first sitting Democratic congressperson to demand the resignation of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. This tracker will be updated in real time: 🧵

Think about it…

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Dreamt @maureenjohnsonbooks.com took a train from New York City to Iceland called Friendship on the Faxaflói Express. The train, of course, was conducted by a human, but all the staff were hyper intelligent mice wearing tiny train staff hats. She listened to ABBA b sides on her iPod. This is the way

Two things need to happen simultaneously: 1) A rapid mobilization and expansion of mutual aid networks to protect, feed, and care for each other 2) A tireless effort to elect progressive politicians looking to oust these fascists and their spineless enablers

Dems who voted with GOP on ending shutdown: DURBIN SHAHEEN HASSAN FETTERMAN ROSEN CORTEZ MASTO KAINE And KING (I) On track for 60-40 vote

We need to learn from the last season of Little House on the Prairie and blow up and destroy the Democratic Party leadership.
