Me, everyday, when I try to make a human connection. 😂😅🤔😓 youtu.be/N_j5tDuakKU?...

Without saying your age, what’s your favorite movie that came out when you were 18? Too many to choose from, and if you ask me again tomorrow I might say something different, but...

It’s been a year since Donald Trump slashed SNAP funding in his “Big Beautiful Bill.” Here’s how many people have lost food assistance so far.

just learned about the reverse centaur theory. Sorry To Bother You makes so much more sense now

Without saying your age, what’s your favorite movie that came out when you were 18? UHF? Say Anything? Heathers?

Giving the GoFundMe another small boost today. Shares are especially helpful if you’re able—thank you so much. 💛 gofund.me/d47b16fe0

Have been writing to this EP recently by a teen who calls themselves Serene Tangerine, and I love this ambient vibe. My favorite is one called The World I Was Raised To Live In No Longer Exists. open.spotify.com/album/48eU3k...

really thinking about this tweet as i’ve been struggling to breathe through nausea for the last 5 hours

My dad asked me what it was like having Mamdani as mayor and I said “it’s nice having a guy who loves the city as the mayor. But it’s even nicer to have a guy who knows the people are the city. And it’s even nicer than that that he’ll tell you every time he does something for said people”

Oh, get it. Hail Mary, full of Grace, the lord is with thee…

buy @ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app's book! bookshop.org/p/books/year...

"Still punk as fuck," I mutter to myself as I drag myself over to my little free library to remove a book someone donated by a Fox News propagandist. 😅

Lady at grocery store, making small talk: At least the smoke is less today. Me, immediately activated: It does smell better, but our rating is worse than yesterday. Lady: How? Me: When it's orange or yellow, it's higher up. When it's white... Lady, horror dawning: ...like a sunset? Me: Yes.

This is föcking brilliant

Only through the cold open of Ride or Die S1E1 and I already know I'm going to be obsessed. Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham are FANTASTIC. It's action comedy with two middle aged women that treats them with respect. Both leqds are competent and charming.

Senator Warner is a supporter of the Trump administration so it's surprising to hear him say this. He voted for SIX of Trump's vile cabinet picks. As a Virginia voter, I'm continually surprised he shows his face in public as opposed to hiding in shame.

Periodic reminder to follow Mark. He was my graduate advisor at Hopkins, ex-CIA, and absolutely brilliant. Also, if you're on TikTok, he's the dude who charmingly explains the Spy Museum's various pieces. ⬇️

Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"

I’m laughing WAY too hard at this. #meme

OVER $100,000. That’s how much Trump’s teleprompter guy allegedly made betting on speeches he helped prepare. But he’s not the first insider accused of cashing in on information the public didn’t have. Congress needs to get to the bottom of how far this goes.

"Nearly five women are murdered in America every day by a current, former or estranged intimate partner." ssri.psu.edu/news/intimat... The men who kill strangers almost always practice on women they know first. Imagine what society would look like if we gave a shit about those women.

I am only mostly joking when I say it would be a good thing for permanent DST in the US, because then I'd have the same time as the East Coast. But a permanent DST in the US doesn't mitigate as many of the risks of constant time-switching as a permanent Standard Time would, which I'd prefer.

AOC on Trump’s Thursday address: I don’t think we should be contributing to the platforming of lies about our elections. Many of these outlets often receive transcripts, and I think we have an ethical obligation not to air things that undermine our elections and are not rooted in fact.

ICE killed another person.

Live a life where the Onion doesn’t feel the need to satirize your death. The harsh truth of this…

Look, I like slow burn as much as the next person, but it can't just be a trope for trope's sake. You gotta do something with it. It shouldn't be the mud in which your story's wheels get stuck.

After this morning’s fatal ICE shooting, the community has come together to demand justice-NOT only for this latest loss of life, but for the broader pattern of deadly incidents reported nationwide🇺🇸 Hart28.com

"It is forbidden to benefit from one about whom it is assumed that all that they have is from stolen property. (Sefer HaChinukh 229:4)" I'm not Jewish, but glad I read this. Even in education, where AI is counter to everything we value in teaching kids to think for themselves, AI is pushed on us.

Well, The Mummy directed by Lee Cronin is every nightmare I've ever had as a parent, in one metaphoric form or another. If you want some nightmares, it's on HBO.

ICE is a menace to democracy and its murderous conduct should be soberly considered. But we should also recognize that these people are weak and sad and ought to be made fun of. Read more: www.theverge.com/policy/96430...

I’m in the mix here! Come enter!

Sitting on a lawn chair out on my porch, hip aching, when I suddenly realized that I'm an adult, and can drag a chair from my living room right out the door to live a life of comfort. Is this glamping?

No, I don't think the photo of Mitch McConnell is AI generated, but have you all never propped up a corpse to take a proof-of-life pic? Amateurs. I lived life before the internet, never mind AI, when we had to generate our own fun and alibis.

ICE. Dismantle. Prosecute. Lock them all up, tactical vests, face masks, sunglasses, and all.

Every ICE murder with the wink and smirk of “they tried to ram me,” is that first season South Park episode where they got around hunting laws by ridiculously claiming they were in danger: “My god, it’s coming right for us!” Dismantling ICE is the only way to fix ICE, along with jail.

Perhaps overshadowed today by the tragic news about Sam Neill, but we also lost another great actor today: Wai Ching Ho. A well-kent face most widely known for playing as Matriarch crime boss Madame Gao in the Marvel Defenders shows, and the voice of Grandma in Turning Red.

Respectfully: -_-

This is the constant struggle of being an 8th grade ELA teacher, trying to get kids to like books enough to keep reading into adulthood, and books written specifically for them makes it so much easier.

Me: Who’s dead? Everyone:

Saw this artist on NPR, Victor "Marka27" Quiñonez, whose I.C.E. Scream series of sculptures was shut down at the University of North Texas. First Amendment defenders and Don't Tread On Me-ers have not responded for comment. www.marka27.com/ice-scream-s...

Personally, as a reader and reviewer of short speculative fiction, I want to be confident that the publications I read are doing their damndest to prevent purchasing LLM generation work. And to me that means doing more than posting a No AI statement on the subs page or including it in the contract.

If you’ve got a spare share today, I would so appreciate it. Still trying to climb out of the financial and medical fallout of the past 16 months, especially as our legislative and legal fight continues.
