some other familiar grocery store names that are brands for producer-owned agricultural co-ops: Blue Diamond Bob's Red Mill Land O'Lakes Tillamook Welch's

My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?

This is brilliant

Answer: Pretty f*cking far.

All this, AND Jonathan Bailey got People's sexiest man? Is this what the hope feels like?

whelp. I think I've found the thing that will get me back into pottery

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

In terms of process, I enjoy writing but revising????? Oh, that’s my real kink. A second or third draft???? A fourth???? Making tweaks on my desktop AND my phone???? *moans* I’m a WHORE for revision.

weird how we all feel tired and sad and unmotivated and anxious and terrified riiiiiight when "students have gotten so lazy"

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Leah and I just got off the stage in DC. More than 200k. Double what we saw for Hands Off! This movement is incredible. We’re better than fear. We’re braver than billionaires. We’re bigger than ever. And we will win. #NoKings

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Aaaand we've unlocked new, painfully-accurate nightmare fuel. If you need me, I'll be rewatching Andor like an emotional support blanket.

Grateful for a morning with friends, coffee, and book club chatter. In this moment, a crew that wants to connect through shared stories feels as necessary as air or water. #booksky

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

Cannot wait to get my hands on this one! Recent releases by @annaleen.bsky.social, @charliejane.bsky.social, & @adibkhorram.bsky.social feel like such gems of joy in an awful timeline. #booksky

But what a way to go

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

I would urge against referring to what is happening to Kilmar as a deportation. When people are deported, they are sent to their home country or "country of origin." What is happening to Kilmar and many others under the Trump administration is... something else entirely.

I have been researching seed-oil psychos for Maintenance Phase and I love how they occasionally show signs of self-awareness

Excuse me while I save this post and re-share it every day for the foreseeable future.

More attention here please.

this is horrifying and so sad.

What a fucking time to be doomexisting

We've become a household that treats the Tonys and the Jimmy Awards like the Super bowl. There are snacks and costumes and my former theater kid self is absolutely wriggling with glee.

"i asked grok" "i asked chagpt" yeah well I asked a rare books librarian and they found things I didn’t even know I was looking for, while answering questions about provenance

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

Be safe out there ❤️

Late posting this, but here's today's Indivisible newsletter with action items in the lead up to No Kings Day! ezralevin.substack.com/p/how-to-pre...

It seems appropriate that @rfkuang.bsky.social's MC is side-eyeing the hell out @marthawells.com's MC on my list of recent reads. I'm sure Murderbot would return the favor if it could because, June Hayward is (quite intentionally) the worst. #BookSky

TACO.

I know that the 1:1 relationship between world fuckery and my TBR list isn't sustainable, but I don't have time to deal with that right now. I'm supposed to be reading roughly 359,000 books. #BookSky

Made a delightful single-serving friend on my flight to Reno today. We bopped from Buffy to Fight Club to teaching to our favorite airports, and we never even exchanged names. I feel like I just got extra credit in the interpersonal arts.

Bookish friends are great because you can be all "read this, it will absolutely crush your soul and tear your beating heart into a million little pieces and you will literally never recover from it" and they'll be like omg yaaaasssss

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

In the midst of everything, one of my graduating writing tutors created a piece of original art for the center inspired by his own journey with language. 🥹 It's unspeakably cool to watch these folks weave themselves into the history of this little space. #AcademicSky

Lord, what I wouldn't give to watch Gene Wilder sing this man to his demise in a chocolate river.

Zuck: The average American has three friends.

Technically “my calendar says that this afternoon I have a previous commitment to absolutely not doing that” is a scheduling conflict

I have a joke about writing centers, but first I'd like to get a sense of the assignment. Did your instructor provide a rubric or a set of guidelines? Your voice pops in this first paragraph and I can tell just how much you care about writing-based comedy. As a reader--

. . .they said, with their fingers crossed behind their backs. Later historians would refer to this moment as "a giant pile of stone-cold horseshit"

Gorgeous signs, Las Vegas. Plus, all the Iove to drivers who honked & waved as they went by. We are so far from alone in this fight. @indivisiblelasvegas.org

It would be about early-2010s tumblr and everyone would get an extra hour in the ball pit
