A hero, but she shouldn't need that bravery to do what she's doing. Shame on Israel.

I didn’t laugh out loud, but this made me exhale out of my nose more than usual

I cannot stress to you how much postpartum depression & postpartum anxiety fuck up your life. Andi say that as someone with bipolar disorder that this stage is utterly miserable. Med changes have helped a lot. Therapy helps, a lot. But every day is a slog and weighed down

Albanian government- “we… didn’t think you’d miss it?”

You live in NYC, jackass.

I’m going to keep writing and making videos about this until something goes viral because this shit is *ridiculous*

As ICE ramps up their bullshit for the summer, a reminder that me and a whole bunch of other folks will get whistles out to you, for free, in quantities of 100 to thousands, to distribute in your communities. Just send a request here linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Most Americans can't see any benefit they'll get from AI data centers but can see AI data centers are very important to the banks and billionaires who constantly fuck them over. And who are also constantly saying "we're building data centers to fuck you over." Hardly a surprise they're hated!

I would really like for outlets to, after stating the government’s allegations, at least mention the fact that the car ran into us. An ICE agent drove into a crowd. Of people. Who were peacefully protesting. And then the government tried to paint us as a lawless mob.

The money was always there for the good things.

The state of the industry has me too depressed to write.

Publishers: “Short stories don’t sell and are impossible to market so we are not going to take the risk of publishing them.” Also publishers: “What can we publish to fit this era of reduced attention spans when people are reading fewer novels?”

Instead of feeling depressed about how messy my house is, I'm going to try and pretend that it's a set piece in a Ghibli movie. Worn, well loved, and ripe for magic.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill's mishandling of protests outside the Newark ICE detention center, with violent state troopers running amok, is a national embarrassment To make it worse, Sherrill invoked the vile "outside agitator" trope of 1960s segregationists My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/miki...

So it came out that Eli Lilly is developing a drug that cures heart disease and it is currently in phase 1 trials that essentially, is a cure for Heart Disease. I'm not a crier, but while watching the news about this, I sat on my bed and started sobbing.

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

Become a writer and quickly realize you only know three names.

Decided to post about a different queer book for every day of Pride. Be prepared to be sick of me by July. (Also to see the same outfits over and over, cuz no way am I not batch filming these.)

“There was a man who has Stage 3 lung cancer, not getting medical treatment. He wants to leave, go back home, spend his final months...with his family. But they just won’t let him go.”

days into a hunger and labor strike of hundreds detained in GEO Group-run Delaney Hall, people inside report beatings, rotten food, crumbling facilities, and denied medical care. protesters and organizers outside are confronting ICE in the Newark street. talked to a few about it: @us.theguardian.com

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

For every Viking warrior partying around a bonfire there are two little logistics Vikings like “shut the fuck up, we are counting the food”

IT IS CHEMICAL (shake) IT’S CHEMICALS MOTHERFUCKER IT IS NOT LACK OF YOGA (slap) MY MENTAL ILLNESS IS NOT A LIFESTYLE CHOICE (shake, slap slap, shake, slap)

The Dilley Trailer Prison is making $13.1 million every month. In America, it is now the norm to commodify child suffering and allow private investors and companies like CoreCivic to profit from the imprisonment of innocent children. Dilley must be shut down so we can #FreeOurChildren.

You might have heard about the legal case involving the DOJ sending subpoenas to blue state hospitals for private medical records of trans children. For my newsletter, I went long on the Texas judge enabling this fuckery. www.burnsnotice.com/this-federal...

when you become a US TV interviewer they hit you with a little hammer until you lose the ability to retain answers in short term memory.

Ron DeSantis and the Republican Florida legislature spent years banning books in schools, trans kids from using the bathroom, and mentioning LGBTQ people in schools. The result? Florida's test reading scores have sunk to dead last in the country. www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/f...

It occurs to me that horror titles go through the same cycles as garments and music. Perhaps currently we are at early 70s prog rock stage.

Ending Reconstruction before hanging every Confederate was a mistake

How Israel Uses Sexual Violence Against Palestinians Israel's use of rape and sexual violence against Palestinian women, men & children is now "widely practiced as part of an organized state policy." What will it take for the world to hold it accountable? thelefthook.substack.com/p/standard-o...

Name your fav vampire.

"What are they supposed to do, not comply with the CC companies and get the whole thing shut down for everybody?" YES! I am once again demending that SFW creators stop treating erotic artists like acceptable losses, and maybe having some skin in the game will convince them to join the fight.

Four years ago today, Shireen Abu Akleh was assassinated by an Israeli soldier. Since then, Israel has killed more than 275 journalists in Gaza and Lebanon. The world that let Shireen's killer walk free made all of this possible. mondoweiss.net/2026/05/from... #Palestine #Israel

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

Why does every version of me have anxiety

"“The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass relates only his own views on slavery; we cannot properly assess the merits of his book without giving equal time to his slave owner.”

All confederate flags everywhere should be burned.

what's that name for the literary aphorism where if an author shows you something with a clear function early they should make it be important later on

You do not hate the DOGE people enough. Boys with toys breaking things they were too arrogant and lazy to understand.

Holy shit. We hit our first goal in 6 hours. I’m speechless. This will still cost a fortune but I feel like I can breathe a little for the first time in weeks. I can’t thank all of you enough. I don’t know how much we’ll be able to raise but oh my god, thank you.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.
