Today was a good day in many ways verymostgood.com/2026/04/frank-ocean-in-wrong-city-thats-former.html?m=1

We’re blockading it! No, we’re blockading it! #StraitOfHormuz

I’m very proud of the fact that my most viral Reddit moment to date concerns cats and feeding them. #KnowYourWorth

I must admit writing a book about a really cool train is not exactly busting autistic stereotypes You can imagine all the adventures being breathlessly read to you by a woman who won't make eye contact and has no understanding of the volume she's speaking at (for an authentic experience)

Oh, these Frank Ocean poems are going to keep coming all month. Or Frank Ocean poem drafts? They feel more like sketches right now and I think I'll know where they are going (sort of?) by month's end... verymostgood.com/2026/04/fran...

Happy Easter!

And yes I posted yesterday's daily poem late (see earlier mention of Kalaya, worth worth worth it), but here you go and I'll write a second before the day is through

This morning's find (and writing companion)

Friends, Kalaya never disappoints.

If you don't have a favorite, regular Sunday morning listen, may I introduce you to @wwozneworleans.bsky.social

I wholeheartedly invite St John’s to finish destroying my bracket (which is named “Everybody Wins (Except Duke)”

"In September 2025, the Department of Agriculture canceled publication of its annual Household Food Security Report [...] That means the 15,236 food aid nonprofits across the country are left guessing where needs are greatest..."

Democrats Garcia and Blumenthal held a hearing today to find out more about ICE’s impacts on children in America. It was absolutely devastating. Here is one child’s back-and-forth with Rep Garcia.

Friends, I don't think I've ever backed a game so fast.

"In the first seven months of his second term, authorities arrested and detained parents of at least 11,000 U.S. citizen children — a number that, if the pace held up, will have roughly doubled by now. That’s an average of more than 50 U.S. citizen kids a day with a parent pulled into detention."

Imagine a mayor in YOUR city choosing this as his first message to voters after winning a decisive election victory. Well done, @egregoire.bsky.social, well done. A great start. #Paris

A birth certificate AND your marriage license. If you changed your name after you got married, like the First Lady, the 'SAVE America Act' will demand you provide BOTH documents in order to prove your identity and vote in the next election if you don’t have a passport.

NO.

Even kids who were just babies and toddlers during the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic are scoring lower on math and reading exams than their pre-pandemic peers, suggesting that the pandemic led to fundamental changes in the U.S. educational system that continue to shape children’s learning.

This reckless war on Iran has raised energy prices like no other. It's outpacing even Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

I’m once again asking you to back 100 Spaces. 20 hours to go! THE UNIVERSE NEEDS MORE SPACES.

One of my favorite games right now is to take statements about AI and swap in the word "capitalism" in a "there you go, fixed that for you" way. No, that smug sickly satisfaction won't fix all the things, either.

100 Spaces is LIVE! Jump in to grab one of the 100 available prompt slots! www.kickstarter.com/projects/72s... featuring illustrations by @joshwhiteart.bsky.social and free spaceship meeples by @thisnorthernboy.bsky.social for early backers.

“Since the Bush and Trump tax cuts broke the United States’ modern tax structure, revenues are significantly lower and no longer grow much with the economy” #ThanksGuys

Great read. An ICE attorney working for DOJ temporarily explains that ICE has no clue how all of this "federal court" stuff works and makes clear that both ICE and DOJ were totally unprepared for the flood of habeases that were the inevitable result of the Minneapolis raids.

We’re back at it!

Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

NYP's CEO made $26.3 million last year. That's $72,000 a day—more than many of his own staff make in a year. But the hospital says it can't afford safe nurse-to-patient ratios. Engaging in this sort of thing is one way we can resist fascism. www.patreon.com/posts/148704...

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

BREAKING: Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey responds to an ICE officer shooting a legal observer. ICE makes all of us less safe.

Today is the one year anniversary of one of California's deadliest wildfires. There's no denying climate change is fueling these deadly fires, which haven taken everything from survivors like Katie and Marco.
