"What if there’s no ethical way to have unlimited access to every book, film, and record ever created? And moreover, what if that’s not something we *should* want?" 2026 i will not be getting into cassettes but will strive to move away from the algorithms ~ a "politics of refusal"

i’m really falling in love with talking on the phone.. for multiple reasons, but mostly i noodle around the house when i’m talking and then get absorbed by the conversation and when the call ends i wake up and my house is clean and tidy in new and unexpected ways

i’m giddy like a teenager and it’s not even because of having a crush. it’s because of feeling open to the world and dreaming again? what a drug

this is truly so dangerous.

TurboTax and H&R Block would really hate it if you went and told the IRS that you want a free, online option to file your taxes directly with the IRS... 👀👉: irsresearch.gov1.qualtrics.com/jfe/preview/...

Democrats need to begin with the truth: "My opponents' intent is destruction of the public good and theft and murder of the people who live here, which poisons even the few facts they get right; therefore, there's no point in finding common ground; we should seek only to oppose and defeat them."

This is still one of the best ways to limit deportations. Stop collaborations between ICE, local police departments, sheriffs, and county jails.

the more i think about this the more i think that his campaign was a showcase for how centrists *say* they want democrats to campaign. the issue is that what this looks like varies from place to place. i would not expect mamdani to be able to win in virginia, but a mamdani-style campaign could!

Whatever happens tomorrow Zohran and crew have run one of the best campaigns I've seen. CLEAR MESSAGING of what he wants to do, pummeling Cuomo while keeping a smile, no scandals, the NY media can't find a single personal thing to play against him and THEY ARE PISSED, no infighting stories.

If you do want to know how it works—and, specifically, how it can work in the US, here’s a thing I wrote: substack.com/home/post/p-...

gorgeous

During the first Trump regime the mainstream press failed the country miserably. They can make up for it now by collectively boycotting the White House media room, setting up across the street, and reporting the TRUTH. Any outlet that stays in the room after this is a regime stenographer.

Pre-Bluesky, I had a crowd-sourced Resource of World-Building Resources. Seeing a lot of good stuff flying around these days so I'd like to revive it, but don't have time to thoroughly update right now. If you do, please add good stuff—it's editable! It hasn't been updated since early 2023😅😬.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

it is my Passion to throw out old things at my grandparents’ house. i do it in bits and pieces every year because if they notice they get mad. this zinger tea is from 1997

There are a whole lot of people and communities who have been living and organizing outside of the state for a very long time and it’s worth listening to them in this moment

the time of "let people enjoy things", "reach across the aisle", "everyone is valid" is over. now is the time of the Hater

nice

this fence shadow!

letterboxd should have a feature where you can see which watchlist movies you have in common with which friends so you can pick one for movie night

instead of affirming trump’s belief that he is king of america, it is important to recognize that federalism provides states the tools to push back or at least ignore these orders

my life is going to change this year (bursts into tears)
