📢 URGENT Fundraiser for NAICOB (North American Indian Center of Boston) chuffed.org/project/stan... Please share widely!!!

so excited about this. finally, my years of muttering "there should be a crosswalk here" while aggressively jaywalking have paid off!

in the past 3 days, i've gotten over 40 calls (from different numbers) from people claiming to be from PLL to "confirm details" about a loan they say I applied for. i know this is a scam-- i've read about it what i'm amazed by is how many times they're calling me is this happening to anyone else?

Sidenote: the language is really amazing in this passage as well.

democratic party reading the news on hungary: "wow, i guess we need to run a center-right former republican!"

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

LAPD tackle and arrest a protester

i am a big virginia woolf fan. here's a little background on Hogarth press, V and her husband's basement print studio, which put out the 1st editions of some of her books campuspress.yale.edu/modernismlab...

From an interview I did re. publishing/art organizing: I think a lot of people assume they won’t be taken seriously if they do something that isn’t at the invitation of an institution. But we create our own authority for our projects based on the level of seriousness that goes into them.

So far haven’t seen any nudes in the photos from the moon trip why are they covering up the truth

"Galaxisok performed a song that...takes a defiant tone. “Whispered on trams, written on factory walls, on rain-drenched autumn streets, secretly everyone knows,” the lyrics go. “We’ve had enough, once and for all. In the end, all regimes fall.”"

"The crowd, largely made up of young people, frequently broke into anti-government chants, including “Ruszkik haza!” or “Russians go home!” It was a refrain from Hungary’s 1956 anti-Soviet revolution that has taken on renewed significance as Orbán has forged increasingly close relations with Moscow.

just put yourself in this scene for a second: you're living a nice life in the nice part of town, and you have enough left-over time, energy, and spare cash-- so you decide to hire a lawyer to sue a church trying to set up a homeless shelter??

My book tour starts *gulps* in two days, lmao, and I've just published the tour schedule on @caw-shinythings.bsky.social These are the first batch of East Coast dates, but I'm hoping to be on the West Coast in June or July. Anyway, come thru!

The Massachusetts House has advanced H. 5349, a draconian and laughably unconstitutional bill that would ban minors from social media, force social media platforms to enable parental surveillance of teenagers’ online activity... www.wgbh.org/news/politic...

Do Massachusetts lawmakers believe that young people have nothing valuable to contribute to society? That’s what this bill seems to say. This legislation would have kicked Greta Thuneberg off social media before she organized her first climate protest. How does that make kids safer?

strong support

Hopefully this will move forward now, without any more lawsuits from neighbors. Davis Square (and the whole area) are in dire need of services for unhoused ppl, and it's depressing that anyone would spend serious cash on lawyers trying to fight against a shelter #SomervilleMA #SomervillePoli

ayup

so.... are we officially a theocracy now?

counterproposal: let's stop publishing books with tiny print that makes my eyes hurt

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

ok life, what curveball are you gonna throw me today? give me your best shot

i really hate this whole conversation. i think the underlying cause is this thought that "person ABC is a jerk, sure-- but XYZ that they made is awesome-- and my life will be worse if I stop ingesting it." don't you know there's a million other books out there? try reading a different one.
