I have no words. Other than I am honored and humbled to be nominated alongside such meaningful stories. So proud of the team and the work we did 😭.

1. It's my birthday 🎂 2. here's my annual birthday Prisma drawing ❤️

This is the only REAL way to make change from the inside. Get on the inside so you can destroy it

gonna go find my high school civics teacher and beat the shit out of him

A fascinating look into this mentality. Why do you need to compete with a Fortune 500 company? You are a diner! The number one thing I want to see is photos of YOUR food, not a generic AI burger or your mac and cheese animated beyond recognition

My favorite homeschool kid asked the children’s librarian to give me an extra alien keychain left over from his birthday party favors bc I always give him cryptid book recommendations. Library kids are the coolest

She brought her little tiger friend for support 😭😭💖💖 library kids are the best

Bold choice to go with a audio-based medium

There's also a good essay to be written about Black-led protest being the main form of legible protest in the US for the past 75 years & how part of why so many white people feel adrift & also keep "asking where are the protests" is because Black protest is shifting since 2024. Folks are unmoored.

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

Bari Weiss's CBS News, huh, so I guess Pete is on the way out

The mass repression of student protesters under Biden set the stage for Trump's on-campus escalations, which have, indeed, stifled student protest during a crucial moment. Everyone who supported that repression should feel guilty and foolish now, and the people who perpetrated it deserve worse.

moooore

genuinely I am still mad about this

*talking to teenage militant atheist self* current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

When you are unaware of any geopolitical events

Ozzy too

EVERYBODY SHUT THE FUCK UP

News used to be better

LMAO AUTO DRAFT BUT NOT AUTO VOTER REGISTRATION

The AI Overview actively gets things wrong about me and my career, how can I trust it with things I don't already know about

I don't share some people's resignation.

This book should be mandatory reading for every child in the US. socialjusticebooks.org/never-caught...

Silver & Iron: Part Two Pages 43/51

Upsetting flatware continued

Things probably DO need to get worse before we see real change, but I'm not so much of a pessimist that I'm giving up on making things better rather than allowing them to get worse. Because things getting worse is, well, worse.

Crazy to watch panicking libs beg for some marginalized leftist to kill the mad king for them and then immediately pivot to mocking the left for asking them to actually oppose the mad king in any meaningful way

American what

I’d be okay with the license plates if they just replaced it with this

This is a beautiful book that I often gift to small people.

I love the term so much that I still have that screenshot saved in my favorites folders.

two discs, both alike in dignity

Now's a good time to circle back on this

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

he started a war on iran that he is now joining on the side of iran

Cis led activist scenes have an extractive relationship with trans women. We are used for all the labour we can provide and then mulched the second we're inconvenient or we stick up for ourselves. Honestly steer clear of that shit at all costs if you can.

Jorts followers continuing to be just a great section of the internet

DONNIE NO!!

It's been a few years, but I still think about Ferguson a lot.

Also a perennial reminder that in times of fast-moving news, a TON of unverified photos, videos, audio, and 'news stories' circulate, go viral, and perpetuate misinformation. Please take time to double-check things before posting and/or sharing! Verifying reports can take time.

They want you to become listless and hopeless. They know that's easier for many of us than inhabiting uncertainty. I get it. I don't do well with uncertainty. But I'm gonna stay here, in this ugly, messy uncertainty—grieving, refusing, denouncing, and trying to figure out what to do next.

One of the upsides of refusal is that saying "no" to evil and screaming "fuck you, this is wrong, and I will push back any way I can" doesn't necessitate having all the answers.

Happy birthday to the illustrious Billie Holiday. Adorned in her iconic white gardenia flowers, Holiday’s hauntingly beautiful voice filled rooms at jazz clubs during the Harlem Renaissance.

I don’t want to hear about brave and conflicted service members I want to hear about people sacrificing their careers to do the right thing

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

Called my reps. But didn’t use a script and had more of a “how are we going to stop a genocidal manic with nuclear codes” energy. You don’t HAVE to be polished to call your reps. If the president can be unhinged, so can I.
