Hey y’all, I’m still trying to pay my internet, anything is super helpful!

Gwyneth: *Gets stage fright, manages to get through Dido's "Here With Me" without fainting but very off-key and shakey.* Marian: It's a little flat, but she still belts the entirety of the Unplugged version of 10,000 Maniacs' "Because the Night". >>

fuck AI fuck data centers fuck techbros who all look like they smell like tepid milk

there's a lot of terrible stuff going on right now but don't think that means it's okay to not use alt text, you are still not being the person mr rogers believed you capable of being when you refuse. please be a helper thank you

It’s actually absurd how many times I’ve seen people say this bullshit and act like it’s an original thought. Your theory is neither interesting, unique, nor correct.

Now, tonight's local urgent needs. I'm not sure what more I can say or do. Hell, I can't even get into my own group that I founded and admin, because of Zuck. But local people are still in emergent straits, and I can't abandon them.

I am livid actually that leaving my Big 5 publisher, changing genres, pivoting from YA to adult, ditching Ingram, ditching Amazon, ditching Itch, & deleting TikTok weren't enough to kill my career but Patreon burying the "join for free button" is about to singlehandedly do what no one else could.

he is sick.

You ever see an absolutely atrocious promo graphic that is unreadable and also doesn’t have alt text? Yeah 😔 PLEASE CHOOSE READABLE TYPEFACES 😭

It’s time once again for “you do not need to share the horrors in order to communicate that they are horrible. You do not need to imbibe the horrors to bear witness to them. Be kind to yourself and others right now.”

The push to call mined diamonds “natural” is coming from the companies that profit from them. They are exactly the same thing except one is covered in blood AND more expensive, so maybe just go with the science diamonds

All donors (whether you give $5 or $1000) get a handwritten note from me. I know that money is tight and I'm so grateful for all of you. My parents raised me to always write thank you notes for gifts and I bring those values to my campaign. Together, we lead. secure.actblue.com/donate/andre...

Hey, Vlad. Know who else was on the Fast Company list? Us. The workers. 👋👋👋

“Yeah, we’re withholding paychecks. So what? That’s gonna make us successful!”

Clearly somebody is already unable to afford their light bill and they've had enough.

It's been two months since the layoff and I have been writing up a storm! But social channels are unreliable, and I don't do algorithm bait, so please make sure you can keep up on my work by signing up as a Patreon member (free tier is fine) and you'll get it in your email. patreon.com/pattheflip

damn this is how bad censorship is getting. Pay attention to this & keep an eye out for other media tackling similar themes getting erased from corporate platforms.

Doki Doki Literature Club is a widely celebrated piece of videogame art, discusses deeply difficult topics in sincere and meaningful ways, and Google Play needs to revert the removal of the game immediately.

Quick reminder that we were supposed to have this nationally, enforced by the FTC.

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

It's Window Safety Week. Here's Gnome.

PET LORE: Pepper's government name is Billy Pilgrim, but we changed it because it was too close to our dog "Tilly", who was traumatized by all the scolding she thought she was getting. His name has spice levels, depending on bite risk. Ghost Pepper VS Pepper Jack Here is Pepper Jack

i'm nearing the end of my current queue so definitely interested in more :)

"...and spoke with passion about the important role of Jewish students he had demonstrated alongside." The thing about people who said the encampments were antisemitic is that they like to elide how many Jewish students were involved in them.

“The Jewish people are part of the land and they should remain that way,” Khalil told me. “I want to liberate everyone.” The only liberation is a shared liberation. It's always been so.

As the spouse of a guide dog user, crap like this is making public spaces innacessible to blind people. Stop it.

As usual, this kind of stuff is going to make businesses crack down harder on animal rules, which will make life harder for disabled people who actually need guide dogs. Once again, abled convenience trumps disabled safety.

Reminder that in this house we do not trash other genres of books to support the genre we like the most. One, come on, we're grown ups. Two, the bottom line is people reading and loving books. Three, every writer you know has friends working other genres, don't trash their friends, thanks.

There are plenty of ways to regulate social media that dont involve invasive privacy destroying measures giving even more personal data to these companies to sell and the government to exploit. Not to mention cutting off an essential lifeline to countless queer kids which we know ends in death.

So maybe we should pass laws that punish the giant corporations for their abusive business practices instead of laws that won’t help kids and will force ICE watch activists to upload their government ID to platforms that will hand them over to Trump in a heartbeat

You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?

it is very important to remember that the confederates were both traitors and big stupid losers who got their asses kicked

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 😭.

The CDC has delayed the publication of a report showing that the Covid vaccine significantly reduced the likelihood of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter. This is a clear example of putting politics over science at the cost of lives. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/h...

A life time of being told I have to be a representative for my gender, race, papers status etc I realize I don’t express proper empathy for Americans shocked that we absolutely will be judged by what we let be done in our name

Love when people tote out the term "Luddite" when they're trying to mock people who are (rightly) anti-AI. Absolutely rich with irony.

The NHL would never. I need more PWHL teams yesterday.

I love the PWHL so much!! 😭

I am unable to stop being political because it has been decided that many human beings are inherently political, and treated as political by virtue of being in the public eye in any capacity, I didn't choose to be nor am I able to opt out of being political. I didn't alienate, I have been alienated.

Any criticism of fascists that calls them psychotic or sociopathic is not good criticism. Fascists are not fascists because they're mentally ill or neurodivergent. They're fascist because it benefits them to be so.

If we somehow got an aggressive liberal president they'd be constantly accused of "Trump-like tactics" and they should start practicing now how to say "Yeah I did that and it was good." The familiar cautious approach full of self limiting caveats and hand wringing would be a failure

AAAND here it is!!! Officially announcing our next game!! Working on this has been incredible, and I can't wait until we can show you more. Share, like, wishlist to show your support if you're interested!! ❤️

Last month, I wrote two grants for a tribal nonprofit to work with NPS on ongoing research to protect a critical forest from invasive beetles. Starting to think those funds will vanish and a whole program will be shuttered.
