Ah! Got to hear myself on one of my favorite podcasts! Cruise Ship Killers 🚢 is…okay? 😅 Beauty and The Bester is MUCH better.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

I took a lot of bible courses decades ago — really — and I don’t remember there being a grand prize for making the most pious social media post being on the list of “get you into heaven” items.

Imagine being born in slavery and living up until 5 months before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Anna Julia Cooper is one of my favorite people in history. She was born on August 10, 1858, and lived to the age of 105. I can't sum her up in a single post, but she was born 167yrs ago today

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...

Gosh, if only someone had warned the public about these damn cuts….

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.

Loved it. A romance writer & her sister smuggle families’ money out of Nazi Germany before WWII officially started while also finding refugee placements for people fleeing imminent death. And opera. These ladies adored opera. Highly recommend!

Recently discovered the podcast Smart Podcast Trashy Books from @smartbitches.bsky.social and I’m addictive. Wish I had this pod when I was 12 and reading my aunts’ romance novels in the shadows of my own bedroom. #RomanceReads

A lot of the political rhetoric around appealing to young men boils down to reinforcing a hierarchy where white men benefit from the unrecognized and unpaid labor of women and other marginalized people on their behalf. That hierarchy still exists but anything that threatens it must go

I don’t care about your sign, name your hotdog.

Submit to our lit mag, we're open for the first time in forever, we pay $150 for Art that references Taco Bell. We're more prestigious than the Paris Review which no one has even heard of.

I love it when you find an author you love and they have the grace to have published several books so you're not going to run out of their work any time soon. Thank you authors 🙏

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

It’s soooooooooooo good!

Ponytail height/perkiness as it relates to age and/or mood: in this essay I will

DUCKS 😍

Important facts about snoutcats. 👍

This book is WILD. The corporate gossip is piping hot. SWW isn’t really a reliable narrator, but that’s memoirs for you. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 5/5 Sharks would recommend. 🦈 Thanks @libbyapp.com & #IndyPublicLibrary for adding 27 additional copies so I only had to wait one week to read it!

BIG NEWS! The Rumpus will transition to new ownership under @roxanegay.bsky.social and @debbiemillman.bsky.social effective May 1. This change is an opportunity for a more sustainable future and meaningful growth. 🎉 Read the full announcement from our publisher, Alyson Sinclair. buff.ly/aFeXcEE

This show is so good. A joy indeed!

Been there, done that.

I truly hope that one silver lining we take from this coup is that voters begin to understand that when you vote for president, you’re not just selecting one person. You’re selecting all the judges they’ll appoint, and the entire cabinet.

The Pitt is so good, but do not watch it while snacking. 😅🤢🤮

it's called throwback because if you recognize the songs you're likely to throw out your back. not many people know this

This author bio is *chef’s kiss*

For all the goth girlies 🖤 Really well written with tons of personality. A little Hollywood tea, but mostly Peterson keeps it fairly personal. Highly recommend if you grew up watching and loving the Queen of Halloween. 🦇 Bonus: Peterson narrates the audiobook! #BookSky #LibbyApp

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Resharing for you and me.

what kind of stock trades do you think your senator has lined up for tomorrow morning? is that what they're working on tonight instead of figuring out how to get those teenagers out of the servers at the treasury?

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

I used to work with a man in his late 40s/early 50s who would become furious when coworkers didn’t laugh at his bad jokes during staff meeting.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

I like this.

Essential reading. Cook’s narrative writing masterfully reminds you that QAnon is more diverse than you might be picturing them to be and no matter how relentlessly you try, you cannot fact-check them out of their radicalization. 5/5 Very depressing stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😪 #TheQuietDamage #SkyReads

5/5 Why don’t we have more female serial killers? Lots of reasons, but this book was very fun. 🔪🥃🔥💊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #DarkAcademia #TenureTrack #HeHadItComing #LayneFargo

Happy New Ears to those who celebrate. I will be keeping my regular ones, they aren’t worn out yet
