The Child, aged 17, witheringly asks "where did you hear that? ChatGPT?" when I've said something she thinks is stupid.

A couple of years ago, when my college age Goddaughter was coming to NYC to visit, I made "Auntie MK’s Broke Young Person Guide to NYC Culture – Free Museum Days in Manhattan edition." - She used it to plan her time here while staying with me. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

oh ho ho, joke’s on everyone who’s ever said “You rehearse conversations? A lot? You don’t need to do that!” bc i went into a series of public interactions without rehearsing my interlocutors’ most likely responses and it was A MESS healthsome ppl stop giving freaks advice challenge starts now

Friends, you don’t have to listen to this motherfucker’s testimony — we know he wants to kill us, I’m not sure it’s worth the harm of listening to him say it over and over again before different congressional committees

The FCC’s fairness doctrine

will never rebuild my twitter follower count on any new platforms as i am simply no longer that mentally ill

Just fixed one small thing.

It’s starting to seem like orienting our tacit national culture around the needs of statistically likely family annihilators is having some sort of EFFECT or something

Just because Caitlyn Jenner is an objectively horrible person doesn’t mean it’s okay to deadname her. Please don’t.

“‘I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome Swooping down from heaven to carry me home’ And he gave her one last kiss and died And he gave her his Vincent to ride”

I was the first to report on this Monday in an article. Platner's campaign team has still not responded directly to me, one of the handful of openly disabled disability reporters on staff at a publication in the US. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good” This implies that pandering to bigots is “good”

Starting onion from seed is a stinky proposition, and it surprises me every time.

“I’m not a perfect person” says this fuckin’ guy thanks for the heads-up, way ahead of you, fella www.wmtw.com/article/grah...

Coverage of Platner's apology absolutely needs to cite @juliametraux.bsky.social's reporting on this.

Just pay workers more.

Surely sending every writer who has ever focused on review, criticism, and critique death threats couldnt have caused this right?

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again

RED GLOWING FUCKING FLAGS EVERYWHERE!!!

Public services should not be expected to turn a profit, which is why they are SERVICES

Say it with me: PUBLIC 👏🏼 SERVICES👏🏼 DON'T 👏🏼 LOSE 👏🏼 MONEY.

I continue to enjoy #TheFallAndRiseOfReggieDinkins, even if it feels often like it’s in fast forward. My most recent review at @avclub.com: www.avclub.com/the-fall-and...

If you are petitioning your government for a redress of grievances, I can give your group free "know your rights" trainings! And if you're in Illinois, I can help with pro bono legal support before and after. Email me at [email protected]. 💜

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

I know only a few things: I hauled about 30 boxes full of used cookbooks, including some real gems; my Mom is hosting a used cookbook sale on 4.11.26 in Cambridge MA, hosted by Curio Spice Co., 12-4pm; it benefits World Central Kitchen, which provides food for victims of [gestures]. Please come!

If you did not enjoy today, then call your reps and senators tomorrow and say this 👇

For people intending this evening to publicly petition our government for a redress of grievances: AM I FREE TO LEAVE? and I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. are the only things you say to police or law enforcement.

If you ever lived with someone who jerked you around by setting deadlines for catastrophe, then resetting them to exert control for longer if you ever escaped a stalker or an abuser or a dangerous home you know why this feels familiar, but on a global scale. Stay brave. Stay loving.

All of us are dissociated and dissociating to make it through today. I hope you give yourself and others grace.

Call scripts to come. I know all of us are very stages of freaked this morning, but focus on what you can do right now: calling your reps. Make sure they're hearing you. When you're done? Call five friends/family members/neighbors and get them to do the same. Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Forced forgiveness is an an additional harm against the victim / survivor and a convenient way for the harmdoer to maintain the status quo

WCK's seed distribution is underway once more in Ukraine!🌱 Our teams are delivering seed kits to families across the country, including frontline communities. (1/2)

If you have a choice, and you want to save the bees, plant a diversity of native flowers to support a diversity of native bees. You will discover SO many bees that you did not know existed. I see maybe 20 native species of bees over the course of the year.

It's bannanas because what are we even doing?!??!?

I never want to hear that we can't afford universal health care or clean energy or high speed trains again. For the rest of our lives, any time a Republican says "well how can we afford--" the answer is "your clown asked for $200 billion to kill civilians on the opposite side of the world."
