How did the BART board meeting go today?

Saw on X that Apple Maps has erased village names from southern Lebanon. I thought maybe it was just a zoom issue, and the villages don’t show because they’re small. But no, no it is not. Google Maps for comparison. This is appalling.

I hate that US taxes are such a tumultuous guessing game

Will Janine and Gregory work it out?

And this is, I think, the X factor we haven't yet accounted for economically. The asshole markup. When you alienate your trading partners, they don't feel obligated to cut you the best deals anymore. They're going to seek out new markets instead and cut THEM the best deals. 4/

I’ve said and typed some very mean and short-sighted things, lucky I’ll never be famous

Watching Jason Bateman defend Jeffrey Tambor’s behavior toward the late Jessica Walter? It’s hard for me to see him as likeable

I refuse to believe the only thing to do about Iran is cry. Maybe the first thing, but not the only thing.

Exciting news that really makes me look forward to living every day!!!!

I still think we shouldn’t kill people.

Sorry to Lizzo and Tiffany Haddish, we have not forgotten

You might think 5 hours would be enough YouTube for today

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Update: according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, 763 schools have been bombed since the war started.

Even if all sexual assault victims were liars, I’d rather not vote for people who surround themselves with liars?

I feel like going from Reservation Dogs to The Madison is a decision I might regret

Now that my hair’s kinda dry, I should definitely go for a little walk in the rain

Arms are sore from brushing my hair and cleaning the carpet? Doesn’t seem right

Watching cleaning videos instead of cleaning

I am misreading a lot of words lately

time to help the helpers, i need you to get on board with me here V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel

Trying to think of US shows that normalize public transit and basically only came up with ‘Bob Hearts Abishola’ but found this cool spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Finish washing your hands plz, Robbie

A guy in a Ford Focus almost ran a red light in front of me and I said "hey bro you should Ford Focus on your driving" and he couldn't hear me but I was really proud of it

Remembering when I got my first disbursement in grad school and the admin told me to make sure to save some of it, as if I’m not the saving est saver who ever saved?

Fairly certain Fiona Apple is a arbornaut in Heather Christian and the Arbornauts

I know that I should be relieved, but I am mad as hell that we were made to go through it in the first place. This is not the first time and it will not be the last. Enough of this terror already we are exhausted!

It’s a really special parasocial relationship when there’s someone you’ve followed for years without a follow back. like yessss that’s my friend that doesn’t know me and doesn’t want to

Crying at my desk again, my brain and my body refuse to accept this as a regular workday

From April 7 through April 10, riders will not be able to enter the station from the UN Plaza entrance as the contractor installs fencing around the escalator. The escalator going up from the station will remain in service, allowing riders to exit the station.

I was a lead editor on this piece and I think it's fun and you should read it because that would make me happy.

I vaguely remember that someone who follows me was looking for a cookbook for disabled cooks, but of course not who it was:

“For someone who’s lactose intolerant, you sure eat a lot of pizza and ice cream” -me to myself

Happy #fridayreads! Y'all, with the loss of income I could especially use your support of my books. Here's my novel: bookshop.org/p/books/none... And my novella: bookshop.org/p/books/fes-... I think y'all need to take a journey with these in your minds. Free your minds & the rest will follow.

When people say "save the bees," in the US we really need to include native bees, which do not include honeybees. Honeybees are invasive. They are not the worst invasive species out there; they have positive effects as well as negative. But they're invasive.

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5
