@johndedomenici.bsky.social i know you’re busy playing a show at this exact second but i need to know where you got your shirt (also hi)

i keep joking that i'm going to book a series of weeknight shows during mid-winter recess so all the teachers i know who play in punk bands can actually stay up late to play music and support each other but like. what if i actually do this next year

it's bandcamp friday! did you know my beloved partner (who is smart enough to not be on social media AND generous enough to let me steal his jokes to post) is in a very good band and you can purchase their album for only $6.66?? faithvoid.bandcamp.com/album/weird-...

🚨BREAKING: Late night decision leads to late night posting of new double A-side single for #bandcampfriday! tedleo.bandcamp.com/album/februa...

I have questions. Firstly, what cut is Spotify keeping when someone buys a book through bookshop.org via its platform? The announcement says this "will directly support bookshops & the authors" but noticeably not that they will pass on 100% from purchases newsroom.spotify.com/2026-02-05/b...

i think it's cool you are all sharing the racist image to proclaim how racist it is

I don't know how I feel about Spotify doing anything that involves scanning books, tbh. I also have some deeply mixed feelings about this partnership with Bookshop.

february queer book club selection is OPEN THROAT by Henry Hoke! meeting march 1st! follow The Rolling Library on instagram for updates (we also do other events and have a giant free library!!): www.instagram.com/therollingli...

based on how often i run into a random friend (or five) while responding to a potential sighting, i'd say the cure for male loneliness is joining yr local icewatch group

sort of thing that's in a mere two weeks from today. that's crazy. that's wild. come to the bowling alley sweetie dice.fm/event/eo3vl2...

few hundred anti-ICE zines for the antarctigo vespucci show tmrw!!! also find me there if you want some stickers xo

regret to inform you that i am very charmed by the doctor who is scared of blood

“fuck ice” chant at AEW obviously great, we love brodie king, but it feels very retro that ppl are like “wow the right even lost the dumb wrestling hicks!!” when every wrestling fan i know is a gay anarchist who fucking hates the government lmao

Lots of sick stuff coming up including this benefit show in Philadelphia in March. Get tix let’s sell this out??? I’m bringing the 5 piece band 😈

i do think it's nice when many basketball players are traded at once so they get to keep hanging out with their friends

next No Borders pop-up is THIS SATURDAY at PANCAKES RECORDS (which tbh i would be going there anyway because the owners are lovely and ordered a mountain goats record for me that i need to pick up!!). lots of cool music books for sale, hot apple cider, and a DJ set so we can dance to stay warm xo

god we love getting print zines in the mail!! more of this please!!

anyway

sooo many people told me to start a newsletter after my last staff journo job but it is not that easy and wouldn't pay my rent! i *loved* writing about television/culture but the only way to consistently pay my rent was to take a job in a different industry.

on top of that, even if you do start a newsletter, subscription fatigue means you'll compete for the same pool of attention & cash as netflix. the capital required to start a media organization means it's out of reach sans a wealthy patron. & they don't fund things counter to their class interests

new york: highly suggest saving this to your phone to consult! a looot of people have (understandably!) been reporting joint task force empire shield/national guard as ICE but nope they are a different group of losers who hang out on the subway for no fuckin' reason

man's always hated books and the people who love them tbh

new york: highly suggest saving this to your phone to consult! a looot of people have (understandably!) been reporting joint task force empire shield/national guard as ICE but nope they are a different group of losers who hang out on the subway for no fuckin' reason

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

found a stack of these cleaning up my studio the other day. as ever!!!

once again i've found myself researching the teen choice awards

a very nice thing about supporting your favorite bands and being extremely forgetful is getting a fun lil surprise in the mail

this morning i gently tried to dry the snow off my dog's paws and she freaked out and headbutted me so hard my mouth started bleeding and i still thought aw, it's so nice to have a dog. what the fuck

however every time i work with friends and neighbors to feed and house people i want to cry and live forever

every day this country makes me wanna THROW UP

at a certain point y'all need to start dearresting people

Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

this winter really has me regressing (wearing long-sleeve thermals under band tees)

i don't care for the rodent's weather prediction

amazing to take a look around and think "we need another show about cops"

I am begging you all. Please Please Please don't let this place be lost.

we finally got around to actually sending a newsletter! we have four events coming up in february, plus we announced our next book club selection! check it out + subscribe here: noborders.beehiiv.com/p/february-e...

i lived with a bunch of different white women in college/my early twenties and it was often disastrous but it was great that there was just ALWAYS endless bobby pins around when i needed to unclog my bowl

Are you hungering for some very funny, extremely insightful-yet-somehow-also-mischevious food journalism? Well then the folks at the brand new Gourmet Magazine have you covered. We caught up with them about their launch month. hellgatenyc.com/the-new-gour...

Hiya! I’m looking for full-time and/or freelance copy-editing and editing work. Please let me know if you’ve got anything that might be a fit, and feel free to share this anywhere! Email: [email protected] Résumé below

Boycotts are necessary! Big protests are necessary! Economic blackouts are necessary! Workers calling out sick or taking time off to support these causes is necessary! Mutual aid is BEYOND necessary! But they are not strikes.

once again i have the only exact correct take on the general strike

and y’all this is GOOD NEWS. even if you are not physically brave or not able to leave the house much, there are important things you can do.

a hitman with alzheimer's, a doctor who is scared of blood, a detective named harry hole .... television is so back

i get the sentiment and i'm glad people are ready to mobilize and i love my city but man, i hate quotes like this. as if minnesota didn't burn down a precinct in 2020 while new yorkers spent a loooot of time marching in circles while following grifters with megaphones

good morning the month is almost over and neighbors in north mpls need rent please help if you can

my kingdom for a timestamp on an ~ICE SPOTTED~ post

we have a bunch of @nobordersbooks.bsky.social pop-ups scheduled for February! first up: - Sunday 2/1 at Bench Flour Bakers, 10am to 1pm, grab a book to go with your breakfast! - Sat 2/7 at Pancakes Records, 1pm to 5pm, books + drinks alongside Pancakes' great selection of records. plus a DJ set!

we recently moved the bookshelves to the front of Astoria Food Pantry and ppl have been using them much more which makes me SO HAPPY but also means we need more books! we love donations from neighbors, authors, publishers, (galleys are great), etc. you can DM me or email [email protected]

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.
