I have a truly concerning number of song lyrics tucked away in secret brain storage waiting to be activated at any moment.

Talking to your local bookstore about this now can ensure that the orders/sales show up on the right day.

I will be doing this and putting the Bell Hooks books in all the DC Little Free Libraries near me ✨

This is a great idea!

I will be using @bookshop.org to be petty.

This is great news! Thank you.😊

Looks like this is happening June 16 if you want to set a calendar reminder bell hooks is a legend

The TikTok girlies (gender neutral) are hatching a plan to all buy copies of communion by hooks on Vance's release date. I will be participating.

As a mid-40s, SoCal, former Christian girlie I accidentally read this as MXPX and now my brain has created some 90s m/m pop punk fantasy scenarios and I am not quite sure what to do with myself.

Sometimes the academic breakthrough comes when you're talking about doomed yaoi and Heated Rivalry with your 17 year old at a restaurant.

My eBay search history proves that I find this incredibly relatable.

I have an overwhelming amount of grading so I am just going to spend four hours scrolling Heated Rivalry edits ..for motivation.

There are TWENTY print copies of The Miseducation of Caroline Bingley up for grabs over on Goodreads giveaways! If you're a US or Canadian user, here's your chance to nab one for free! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

My most recent take on Timothee Chalamet. I think he's glimpsed the writing on the wall and he's flailing. Not an excuse but a reason.

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

Ok, so the Republicans are “leaking” pics to influencers, but won’t let the press in the room? What’s really going on here? 🤔

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

Sign of the times that there are multiple members of the Chicago Cubs who haven't been able to enter the U.S. because Trump's immigration crackdown has made getting visas impossible www.si.com/mlb/cubs/ons...

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding? Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

Because legally qualified American voters don't want to be harassed and intimidated by masked gunmen as a condition of going to vote. Is that really hard to understand?

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThx29BJ9/

Bad Bunny was like - I see your discourse and I raise you the best half time show ever produced.

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse. Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch." Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

wicked is fun but i am unfortunately an original Wizard of Oz books fan so all i can think watching it is "somewhere out there is a boy named Tip who doesnt know that she is the rightful queen of oz"

for better or worse, people will forget about that video by the end of the year, if not end of the month. but when trump finally kicks the bucket, there were be orgasmic celebrations across the US & around the world. he will be remembered as the most despised US president since WWII for generations

The ASPS has come out against trans youth surgical care. The AMA then endorsed the ASPS. Meanwhile, WPATH's president-elect testified on behalf of a detransitioner who won their case. And hospitals capitulate to Trump. I write my indictment of the American medical system on trans youth care.

The thing that gets lost over and over again is how many women lost their careers to the rumor mill. "I heard she was difficult." No, she was harboring an inconvenient truth about who your colleagues really are.

Color me completely unshocked.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Make ICE show their faces. We need to know who’s murdering us. youtube.com/shorts/6UU6H...

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

Arresting journalists. Raiding election offices. Invading American cities. Committing violence against our own people. The worst of what we feared is here. It’s time for any of my colleagues sitting on the sidelines to do something and stand up.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe. Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately. www.startribune.com/man-tackled-...

im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if “woke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

French daily newspaper *Liberation* shows the U.S. MSM how it's done.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent. And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Trump’s America.

I get to support an older scout working on their gold award AND get real Samoas! So much win!

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here
