Speaking as a writer, a bookseller, and a reader, this is asking for a boycott.

Please boost this outside of Minnesota. Minnesotans are exhausting what they have to keep one another housed & could really use help from more distant neighbors as 🧊 still ~500 agents deep & we're reeling from everything that's happened here this winter.

Third Way has promoted the idea that Democrats should get cozy with Joe Rogan. Just in the past month, Rogan has said more vile, bigoted stuff than Hasan Piker has said in his entire career. That's just a fact.

it’s like I told @brianpjcronin.bsky.social by trashing years of work on NYS’s climate law, Hochul is wasting people’s time and hard work and good faith in her own agencies it’s demoralizing

Every day we survive by a miracle. We have no home, no safety, and my daughters ask me: When will the war end? I have no answer I only try to protect what's left of their childhood. We need your support to live another day with dignity. - Sama’a 🤍 @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/157569

Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Shiite residents among them as their forces advance, specially not in attics.

this is the most meta thing i've ever seen

If there is one thing that I think the two Trump administrations have truly, conclusively proven, it's that the Evangelical right in this country would 100% fall for the antichrist, would line up to get the mark of the beast, would force their neighbors at gunpoint to get the mark of the beast, etc.

This is getting passed around a bit so I want to note that it’s just one study, BUT it includes early indications that duration of illness is also improved with azelastine. (The idea of 5 x day dosing is comical for those of us who find it lights-out sedating but I guess lots of people feel fine!)

Uhh, what editors?

Why? Because billionaires and big corporations don't want to pay the taxes needed to build and sustain a federal childcare system. And because limiting childcare traps moms in a state of precarity, making their paid and unpaid labor easier for billionaires and big corporations to exploit. 4/

100+ year old Pasteur Institute in Tehran was a premier infectious disease research institute and vaccine manufacturer It is a reason Iranian kids like me born in 60s had access to measles vaccines soon after they were developed in the west

The first epigraph in my forthcoming book about Appalachia is from hooks’s Appalachian Elegy, which I insisted on dating so that readers could see it published years before Vance’s book and hopefully look it up. For more on the long-term project of Appalachian erasure by racists read Catte:

News from today confirms NYU Langone has still not started care. Mayor Mamdani has yet to push for enforcement of NYC Human rights law against the hospital, which is in his power. He has yet to direct H+H to absorb trans youth patients. He has maintained radio silence.

I'm teaching my last semester-long workshop at Smith College. This week they read "In My Country"—of all the stories I've assigned, this one (and Alice Sola Kim's "Mothers, Lock Up Your Daughters Because They Are Terrifying") have led to the liveliest discussions.

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Mae West for Belle of the Nineties (1934)

Can’t believe I’m only finding this out now. MI5 used Girl Guides in the First World War as spies, because Boy Scouts were too gossipy and couldn’t be trusted to keep secrets.

For those following this story, an interesting new tidbit on where the New York Times may have erred in a story from the Advocate. (from this: www.advocate.com/health/trans...)

It’s actually worse than this. He called Medicare, Medicaid and child care all “scams” That’s how little he cares about Americans

It's truly incredible that the same organizations and individuals who demand we "reimagine" teaching and learning based on whatever new technology comes along remain committed to the same tired, failed education playbook they've been comitted to for decades. Lifelong learners they are not.

"“Given the errors made by our civilization’s founders, how should we choose to live? It’s the same question—“reason is also choice”—that John Milton wrestled with in “Paradise Lost,” an epic that, like Reed, he wrote “after long choosing and beginning late.”” cannot wait to read this book.

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United. No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed. This is no joke. Here's how it works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

Thread about copyright and how enforcement is abused to protect the guilty.

every one of these guys would be the hugest loser you've ever met if there wasn't a massive makework program for men willing to act on their most sadistic impulses in this country

Saying something is 'complicated' should be the start of examining/explaining it deeper and understanding the forces surrounding it, rather than a means of deflection or failing to find a moral position on an issue

Funniest mislabel of this labler yet

Permanent supportive housing doesn’t only solve chronic homelessness, saving lives, it literally saves taxpayers money by driving down emergency medical costs. You know what doesn’t save money? Setting conditions and time limits on housing.
