tragic.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

One of the best feelings in the world is that moment when you tap that corner ✖️ on the email box.

The news about Teen Vogue is terrible, the latest in the long list of corporate-owned media layoffs, closures, and shifting tone and coverage. There are so many great independent outlets, a list too long but this is a fantastic starter pack. PLEASE pick a few & support them if you're able.

It is not making me friends, but at this point any time I'm asked about how we navigate our current moment, I'm going to tell them to study the history of (full in the blank) under authoritarianism.

“Females”

This from @zeblarson.bsky.social is gooood. It answers the question: Now that our government has muted our national public health officials, what can we, as citizens, do _now_?!? (cc FYI @cdelawalla.bsky.social) www.liberalcurrents.com/propaganda-r...

A state board in Oregon attempting to regulate drug prices has yet to designate specific drugs that pose affordability problems, a potential first step toward regulation. The drug supply chain's opaqueness and complexity have been obstacles, as well as a quirk in state public meeting law.

After federal rules nixed their plans to offer food-insecure people a discount, I found three Oregon grocery stores that are using the honor system to help SNAP recipients. My story today: www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

He’s such a fanboy

This one quote from Russell Vought sums it all up. @propublica.org just did an outstanding piece on how Vought could be the real shadow president and the one consolidating power.

For those looking to donate $$$ (or fresh food) I am a big BIG fan of Urban Gleaners. They coordinate the pickup & distribution of excess food from places like restaurants, grocery stores, corporate campuses, etc. #PDX #SNAP urbangleaners.org/who-we-are/w...

i hate all sports this weekend

heheheheh

the evergreen “you won’t miss a thing w side-by-side” when cutting to commercial… except I’m missing how a playoff finalist cuts a tire and goes a lap down. Welcome to a NASCAR broadcast!

The Dodgers owe it to their fans, to the people of Los Angeles, to tell Trump NO, we will not visit the WH after what you’ve said & done to our city. @governor.ca.gov should explicitly call on the Dodgers to not go the WH, to stand with their fans instead.

More ideas: I want every dem to launch a “what does it mean to ‘have a good life’?” campaign with their constituents and then work towards that.

The science is clear: SNAP is critically important for the health of over 40m Americans. We are mobilizing @standupforscience.bsky.social to collect food, in partnership with local food banks all across the country. 🤝 Get involved here: www.standupforscience.net/sufs-food-dr...

Last scoring of the 2025 MLB season 😔 World Series Game 7 and my tally sheet of the 30 games I scored this year including 2 #milb & just 5 total in-person (#MLBinPDX pls). I scored each team at least once save for Rays or Dbacks. thx @72doubleplay.bsky.social for the perfect scoresheet design!

Dear Canada and Blue Jays: that was one of the best World Series ever. I wish you could have won too.

booooooooo 👎

who’s gonna walk it off in B9?

omg was that Scherzer’s last pitch ever?

Hitting the pitcher who was just warned about hitting a batter

I’m guessing he didn’t read the book.

Well, duh. NYT: Are We Losing Our Democracy?

This day feels like we’re just killing time till tonight’s Game 7 of the World Series.

OPINION: "As we approach the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence , I fear that any national celebration facilitated by the federal government will not speak to a brand of patriotism that is shared by millions of Americans," Austin Stewart writes.

(I’m assuming that) kiké says, I hate playing left field at the blue jay’s stadium.

Not a visitor but may I present Onyx, The Ghostly Widow.

Excellent writing from The Scanner 👏 "Scott’s philanthropy, then, is not simply about money. It is about memory. The moral memory of a nation that has forgotten the debt it owes to those it once enslaved and now ignores...Her actions do not absolve the sins of this nation. They reveal them."

Ummm, yes, this is what I was saying a few months ago, though the (very orchestrated and fully patterned) chaos has been in motion for awhile. www.damemagazine.com/2025/07/30/d...

Being Pope means just receiving baseball jerseys all day long of teams he hates

Here’s to hoping that this interaction btw @svdate.bsky.social and the White House is an entropic gateway for the regime (as I spelled out in my piece for DAME: www.damemagazine.com/2025/09/23/w...) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/b...

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

is this a baseball game or is this a cricket match

What is baseball anyway?
