Let's do Good Things That Happened This Week! If something good - big or small - happened to you this week, I want to celebrate with you. I'll start. My Good Thing this week: I got to spend an amazing long weekend with friends and family, cooking, eating, decorating, and laughing.

Has anyone else listened to this? It feels encouraging in the face of ascendant fascism. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

My favorite Idaho "fact" was that it has more Mormons per capita than Utah (it does not) but I just found out that the name Idaho was MADE UP BY A MINING LOBBYIST and comes from nothing/nowhere and that is absolutely hysterical (and my new favorite Idaho fact) #MakeIdahoOregonAgain

"Does he yearn? He yearns. Marriage can’t seem to constrain a man whose soul has eagle’s wings. Freedom, like love and bird flu, should be allowed to spread unchecked." ☠️ www.theringer.com/2025/11/25/n...

Hey pals, any PNW folks available to foster these cuties?

watching Solo again for the first time since it came out. the movie feels pretty predictable still but i forgot how great donald glover's Lando performance is.

social media is very quickly becoming artificial media, and that has no value for anyone.

People will log onto Bluesky and say anything. “The Gestapo respected papers.” No they didn’t. That’s not true.

As cases of potentially deadly botulism in babies who drank ByHeart infant formula continue to grow, state officials say they are still finding the recalled product on some store shelves.

to stick with it! Anything you could share is welcome! Any sharing with your network also helps! And I'm already grateful! Thank you so much! gofund.me/ce21d48c2

The “canceled people” database listing victims of cancel culture, which includes oft-repeated cases such as Bret Weinstein (Evergreen State College) and James Damore (Google), has a little over 200 entries across 18 years. canceledpeople.org

ICE will raid churches during Christmas. youtube.com/shorts/r1f41...

it's so nice that rachel maddow can pronounce oregon! she did a story about the feds stealing our helicopter youtu.be/q6Mb4AQIx3Q?...

While the ostensible political goals of Q and AltNPS couldn't be more different, this dynamic is exactly the same. Both Q and AltNPS rocketed to popularity and built their audiences on their "insider" personas, but once they hit the mainstream, they pivoted to being "cheerleaders."

at 10,000 posts, the bsky app should do a little confetti effect, and then a drone should crash through your living room window, take your phone and throw it into the nearest body of water with a minimum depth of 50 feet

I LOVE that this year so many of you are applying EARLY. Every single year people wait til the night before to try to get it in and start emailing us for extensions (that we are NOT going to honor ever. You have til 2/27/2026 to have ALL materials in). We’re already reading & learning about yall!

So there’s a college A Capella group that made an arrangement to one of my songs that I wrote and i’m so honored and this is so cute helppp!!!

Hey colonizer, don't call us Indians and don't handle our ancestors so disrespectfully for photoshoots. What the fuck is wrong with you?

⚠️ Sitting US senators and representatives are publicly communicating to the members of the US military and intelligence communities that they should not obey illegal orders:

whew I forgot Wellbutrin is an appetite suppressant. I miss being hungry lol

If Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to prove her sincerity, she should sit for a deposition with House Judiciary Committee Democratic staff and testify as to her involvement in the January 6th Insurrection, including the meeting that took place at the Willard Hotel on the evening of January 5, 2021.

Higgins was the lone "no" in the House vote on the Epstein files. He says he voted no because releasing the files "will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt." Five seconds of Googling later... Ahhh yep, THERE it is.

It's public record for years that he's gone out of his way to protect multiple child predators in his community–a community saturated with hideous, brutal, systemic sexual violence and cruelty to adults as well www.vice.com/en/article/i...

I just found out that in 2011 and 2012, I lived an 8 minute drive from Octavia Butler’s former home in Seattle. Excited to tell my teen this - that’s where we lived in when he was born - and pass along a copy of the Parable of the Sower.

unfortunately i misunderstood the assignment. mine was real

Given that the emails in question were about him exploiting his position against a junior-scholar mentee, he should not be allowed within a million miles of a classroom and should not be allowed to serve on any dissertation committees, etc etc etc.

it’s because he looks like a politician 🥴

Boosting! 📣

i fell down a research K hole for 3 days and now know a frankly weird amount about pastrami and the history of romanian independence, but crucially NOT the fact i went diving so deep for, which has ELUDED me because culinary history is a mass of myths and lacunae

This moral radicalization happened at all levels in the Union army, very much including Ulysses S. Grant. A lot of Northerners needed to SEE it to become true believers in the cause. But they did. It’s all there if you listen to the lyrics to The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

i once stood up Marshawn Lynch on a date 😭

One girl said “it doesn’t matter if you ban a book because everyone can find that information online” and then I blew their minds by talking about how your search history can be monitored and sold to the government without your permission, but your library borrowing history requires a warrant.

listennnnn if you’ve never had a Big Bamboo Problem (BBP) you simply cannot understand the overwhelming cognitive load and emotional oppression of… bamboo. she says from her house surrounded by tree of heaven

watching these two Christian Nationalists have a conversation and see if you can spot the part where I spit coffee all over my screen.

If I ever post "fried catfish is delicious" that is not me. Assume kidnapping or aliens. If I describe olives or mint chocolate as delicious dial 911 immediately. I am already dead

It's really cool that some of the original sit-inners were present for the unveiling of this memorial. www.oklahoman.com/picture-gall...

We're super excited to share that "Queer Approaches to Tolkien" will be available in paperback on Nov 28th (less than 2 weeks from now!), and in digital format a few weeks afterwards. We can't wait to check this out!! robinareid.substack.com/p/queer-appr...

I simply want a world where everyone can be as kinky as they want to be with consenting adults but I never again have to see “news” about how long an old dude with a brain-worm who talks like the crypt keeper gargling sandpaper can edge.

does anyone have an old beat up copy of a book called "A Horse and a Hound, a Goat and a Gander" i could borrow or have? the library doesn't have it and it's expensive even on thriftbooks because i guess it's collectible but i just want to read it not collect it

i mean Sinners but Highest 2 Lowest was 😍😍😍

this is literally nothing. iced peppermint hot chocolate? you mean peppermint chocolate milk?

This is my good thing for the week, most likely for the year

thank goodness for much needed rain 🩵

look i never had a nazi tattoo but if i did i’d immediately get it covered up and tell everyone how wrong i was at least 18,000 times a year!! pretty simple!
