The Growing Kids God's Way books came out 35 years ago. That's 35 years of the evangelical community quietly raising a fascist army, and the rest of us not noticing because, even to those of us who were aware of the books, they were advertised as a way to get your baby to sleep through the night

How to greet someone on Yom Kippur (Yom Kippur is from Wednesday evening) www.myjewishlearning.com/article/how-...

For years, I've insisted that the movie "The Secrets of NIMH" (based on the book "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH") was actually a documentary. I stand by this belief.

What the hell kind of messaging do we need to do to get it through people’s heads that the COVID shot is not a sterilizing shot? I’m baffled at this point. Can people really not hold the nuance of “it’s really important but it isn’t the only mitigation you need to do”?

I have a fun new website for my walking tours: offthebeatensubwaytrack.com

Waiting is the hardest part.

Why? Is? The? Summer? Back?

We found a link between SARS-CoV-2 reinfection & #longCOVID, & a post-pandemic rise in thrombotic events across all populations, regardless of vaccination or prior infection. Findings support continued COVID diagnosis in suspected cases & mask use by healthcare workers treating respiratory patients

An American president should not be declaring war on his own people. I cannot believe this needs to be said. It’s only a matter of time before federal agents shoot people in the street. Empowered, enabled, and inspired by an American president.

I almost stepped on a dead rat on my run this morning. I think that's good luck. 🤣🤣🤣

"A Jew must hope, must keep on hoping. So what is he goes under in the meantime? What better reason is there for being a Jew?" -- Tevye the Dairyman

Let’s spell this out. Trump fired a qualified U.S. attorney who refused to do his bidding and installed his own personal lawyer to punish a perceived opponent. Justice needs to follow the law, not politics. This is an attack on the rule of law. Full stop.

I really wish people would stop talking about autistic people (like me!) as a “risk” instead of a neutral and naturally occurring subset of humanity who get born mostly because other autistic people exist in our bloodline. It’s really exhausting. We’re human and ✨can hear you.✨

1800 people have disappeared from the ICE database. Please say someone is getting this message in Spanish speaking radio and TV in the United States. Because Jesus Christ. It’s literally what happened in Argentina late 80’s to early 80’s. “The Disappeared” is what it’s still called.

As I reflect on the last seven years that has been this week, I'm relieved that I finally have a hematologist that I like AND fully trust with my care.

🎉We're delighted to share the winner and listees for the Bath Novel Award 2025. Our heartfelt thanks to Laura Williams for judging - and huge congratulations to winning author Parker Barrington and all listees. Full announcement at: bathnovelaward.co.uk/the-bath-nov...

Sometimes you have to order a pair of backup rat ears. Just in case.

- saying such horrible, unscientific and frankly insulting shit that we are forced to repeat facts that everyone should know (ex: abortion is safe; autistic people deserve love and support) but that keep us forever on the defensive instead of offensive

Imagine thinking we somehow don't want you to shut this felonious government down.

Seattle! STG emailed me back and said they've put their ad program with KOMO/Sinclair on hold. 1. You can still go to that show! Yay! 2. THIS FUCKING WORKS.

we should boycott Apple TV, I'm saying this again our free speech rights deserve depending and they're a small enough service we could make an impact

Two people from Bryant Park Conservatory were on tonight's tour. One is in charge of rat mitigation and the other oversees pigeon mitigation. They said someone should make a documentary with the tour. <3 Also a Swedish family who heard about the tour on the radio in Sweden came.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I ordered a pair of dumpster earrings and a pair of rat earrings.

every time there’s a rapture scare a bunch of evangelicals slaughter their entire families but that’s not indoctrination, that’s not making decisions for your kids, that’s not the destruction of American families, no not at all, it’s trans people who are doing that

Call your local #Sinclair owned ABC stations & demand they cease & desist preempting Jimmy Kimmel. Then let their radio station know your anger as well. Then boycott those who run ads that fund Sinclair Broadcasting. Dig into its holdings and target its ability to profit off fascism.

It is incredibly depressing how many Christians are so damn ignorant that the don't know that "Jews killed Jesus" isn't just a lie, it's a lie that's gotten millions of Jews killed. It is never, ever acceptable to say. Whatever you need to do to reconcile that within yourself is your problem.

The one thing I did right in 5785 was leave a job that made me unhappy to start a walking tour business. Giving tours in the brutal summer humidity was... sweaty... but I am so much better off. I love what I do. To fight fascism, we all must also embrace as much joy as possible.

l'shana tova shitbirds!

May one year and its curses end; may a new year and its blessings begin.

"history is also going to remember the cowards who definitely knew better but still let things happen—whether it was for money, convenience, or just comfort. Use ... the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away: F**k you. Make me.”" www.pajiba.com/news/john-ol...

Y'all know you can support Black-owned, queer-owned and small businesses owned by other underrepresented groups at this nice lovely easy site, yes? Good.

Tatiana Maslany is so incredible as a young woman fleeing the Nazis in "The Woman in Gold."

Despite refusing to coordinate with the state or city, we’re monitoring the ongoing federal deployments that are instilling fear in our communities. Americans have a right to peaceful assembly and to make their voices heard. Even if the Trump admin won’t follow the law, we will.

I hope this is true, and I hope this kind of boycott spreads. There are many ways to defeat fascism.

The whole point of professional sports is that someone has an unfair advantage and then they get celebrated for it and make millions of dollars and have parasocial fans who fight about dumb shit in their mentions

ICE is the American Gestapo. Kirk was the leader of the modern American equivalent of the Hitler Youth. Stephen Miller is a behind the scenes Stalin.

some years back i was battered for reposting a photo a guy took of himself with a fascist front man. i called that guy out, and got raked for "sharing a photo that wasn't mine to share." but i was furious at this guy's choice to make a fascist a selfie opp, like it was cute. it was... alarming.

The world sucks shit. Running helps me cope. Tomorrow I'm running 18 miles to train for the NYC Marathon. It will help my mental health, but like you, I need to do more. So I'm running the NYC Marathon AND raising money for New Destiny Housing. New Destiny provides affordable housing and support

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Escaping from fascism in a book: Heartwood by Amity Gaige.

I can't wait to see this movie! Jewish-Palestinian partnerships are the true future for people living on a sacred and scarred land.

Nothing scares the Israeli government more than Jewish-Palestinian partnership. In this case, it’s a movie by a Jewish-Israeli about a Palestinian boy from the West Bank trying to make it to Tel Aviv to see the sea for the first time: edition.cnn.com/2025/09/17/m...

Clay Higgins sent a letter to Bluesky and other social media sites threatening investigations if they don't censor speech critical of Charlie Kirk. They don't even know who Jay is because they addressed her as "gentleman." clayhiggins.house.gov/wp-content/u...
