YALL. There is a charitable organization in Chicago that donates books to women’s prisons. My boyfriend introduced me to it!!! Yall support!! This is AMAZING. Women’s prisons do NOT get anywhere near the donations men’s do. That’s why my own organization exists. LINK HERE: www.cbwp.org

It’s a direct display that we have more cars than we need.

ai feature implementation strategy is essentially “how annoying can we make the ui” so people accidently hit ai features so these companies can brag about how “highly used” ai features are internally

I guess we should really not be expecting companies led by people who want capital to give the users (and in this case improvers) of their products any features those users want.

Woot woot!!

@samsanders.bsky.social here’s an Oscars fix a là super bowl - break the year into cinematic quarters with two nominal favorites in each category, locked in each quarter. Then, it’s a bracket campaign for the ceremony itself.

Wait @samsanders.bsky.social what was that ms pat said at the end..? 😳

Hearing this interview between @samsanders.bsky.social and @niadacosta.bsky.social I really wonder what would be so much better is Marvels had more horror elements. open.spotify.com/episode/2ijw...

Finally got it! @victorlavalle.bsky.social does it again.

Not bof #VibeCheckPod and Sam Sanders show moving to two episdoes a week! @samsanders.bsky.social @theferocity.bsky.social @zachstafford.bsky.social Not dying but multiplying!

What journalists can learn from how we covered the attack on trans rights in Trump's first 100 days. Big takeway: based on analysis of a representative sample of articles, 70% of news stories about anti-trans executive orders didn’t quote a single trans person. bit.ly/TJA_visible

I begin at around 8:30. Tune in if you’d like.

@theferocity.bsky.social is there already a poem - the long road to eden -

So sad/happy to hear @samsanders.bsky.social departing from @theferocity.bsky.social @zachstafford.bsky.social and Vibe Check. A genuine anchor to my processing of the world. Looking forward to the new future.

A few years ago, I wrote about why we should understand the Supreme Court as a kind of national defense agency—anticipating the erosion of constitutional rights. Sadly, that argument has only become more urgent. I’m now expanding that analysis into a longer journal article.

We need more public transit not less. Add your voice to this campaign! nwmd.social/s/twitter/4A...

Noem: “President Trump is not going to allow this illegal alien, who is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator to terrorize American citizens any longer.” How many of these is Dunold?

Welxome to the Frasier life @theferocity.bsky.social

“This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the result of federal policy choices — most immediately, sweeping job cuts across public-sector agencies where Black women have long held the strongest foothold in middle-class employment.”

Because I haven’t posted in a while… A thread of lastest art dabbles

@gretamjohnsen.bsky.social Happy birthday! Enjoy all the gifts the day brings.

Before we all get carried away by cool Pope vibes... Washington State just adopted a new law that forces clergy to become mandatory reporters of child sexual abuse, and the Vatican says it will excommunicate priests who obey the law. www.kptv.com/2025/05/09/c...

Zuck: The average Anerican has three friends

“Sinners” is returning to IMAX theaters for a limited release due to overwhelming popular demand “Audiences have spoken and we listened”

To celebrate Mayday, Haymarket Books is having a huge sale on books about class war. Check it out, can’t recommend Haymarket enough!

It’s corruption all the way down. If/when we do get through this era, we’ll learn these people essentially hollowed out the planet and stole it all from us.

Ryan Coogler’s ‘SINNERS’ is now on track to become one of the top ten highest grossing R-rated films of all time at the domestic box office.

Hey everybody, this charity auction I'm running right now benefits several great nonprofits, including Trans Lifeline and a trans legal aid group. Give it a look and please spread the word about it. Thank you! www.ebay.com/usr/moryanwa...

Newark is about to become just the third city in the nation, and the first in New Jersey, to allow 16- and 17-year olds to vote in school board elections. The election is tomorrow, and people elsewhere are eying what happens. boltsmag.org/newark-...

Everybody putting “Anxiety” in their sound for video that is entirely unrelated is actually giving me… Just me?

Wanted to share this especially to the young(er than me haha) elders at Vibe Check @theferocity.bsky.social @zachstafford.bsky.social @samsanders.bsky.social whose modern scriptures give me air to breathe (inspire, aspire)

I’m sorry but if you can’t find a darker skinned Roberto Dacosta, I don’t want you New Mutants cast.

I’m not your woman. I’m not your man.

Not Coco 2?!?!

@bmluse.bsky.social loving this start to the wellness series. I’m looking forward to exploration of the implications of co-opting/perversion Indigenous and non-‘Western’ mysticisms.

I’m really blown away by how focused and brave this outlet is. Support local indie journalism that is tracking and holding police and white supremacists to account.

Working on…

🔥 So happy to see my “Teach Truth” in @haymarketbooks.org’s antifascist book bundle! Read these books and resist✊🏽

In other words, Beauty Beheld.
