This is one of my best friends and things are shitty right now. If you can help ↘️↙️

MUTUAL AID REQUEST 🙏 please re-share!

The way I giggled at this.

I can feel a cold coming on and I hate it.

I need to stop letting my anxiety be such a bitch.

I convinced two of my best friends and my Sister-in-law to go to the greater Philadelphia area tomorrow for the sole purpose of visiting FOUR romance bookstores. It'll be a whole day trip - 2hrs, visit two bookstores in NJ, lunch, visit two bookstores in PA, 2 hrs home. Suckers.

raging my way downtown

First things first, I'm absolutely fine now. But today I came thisclose to passing out from a combination of dehydration and the heat (probably impacted a bit by my SSRI too). Drink water & stay out of the sun, y'all. A story:

I was telling my therapist today about just a sliver of the things that are happening to people I love very much right now, and every new thing was just another pile of crap. She reminded me that right now, we all just have to pace ourselves. (And it's okay to dissociate every once in a while)

I made book-themed rapture memes.

Happy Rosh Hashanah y'all.

If the rapture happens today, I'll be at synagogue for Rosh Hashanah. I think that means I'm automatically excluded. Oh well.

Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

There's a whole musical about it.

Every once in a while it'd be great if people looked at a calendar and avoided scheduling events over major religious holidays. Especially when people would never think about scheduling something over Christmas or Easter.

I don't know about you folks, but I plan to deadname the Defense Department every chance I get.

Hi, hello, I have bought so many books and I still have to bring them all home.

Existing on various random corners of the internet (aka probably being too extremely online for my own good) is wild. I can understand why people get into conspiracy theories when you feel like you "know too much" and everyone else is blind.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

Has anyone brought up that Gavin Newsome used to be married to Kimberly Guilfoyle (who is now in a relationship with Trump Jr.? Maybe it's just me, but it feels like that colors all of his reactions to trrump as that of a bitter ex. 😬

"Did you people throw this kind of shit-fit at Denny’s, or did you just order a Moons Over My Hammy and keep on truckin’?"

This is very Michael Scott-coded

If he was going around saying 25 year old women are too young to make decisions about abortion, I wonder if he’d have such diehard lib support. Bodily autonomy is bodily autonomy.

Working in a female-dominated profession where the vast majority of your colleagues are between the ages of 30 to 40 means that at any given moment one (or usually more) of your co-workers is out on parental leave or about to go out on parental leave. It's wild.

I started a Bookstagram like a nerd so here it is, folx. www.instagram.com/glitteronmyb...

Get yourself to the National Museum of African American History and Culture ASAP (and all the other museums, but definitely the NMAAHC)

Kim Davis going from "my religious beliefs demand that I don't facilitate a same-sex marriages" to "my religious beliefs demand that there are NO same-sex marriages anywhere" *should* make Democrats realize there is no "sincere" compromise with bigots on trans issues.

🧵 We've had a decade of marriage equality—and that may be all we get. Just like I warned about Roe for years, I'm warning you now: Obergefell is absolutely on the chopping block. The same "history and tradition" test that killed abortion rights? That's their blueprint for same-sex marriage.

How do you subskeet a post to the current administration?

It's really not hard to give up HP stuff in 2025. I promise that the further you get from it the more you realize it was problematic the whole time. It shouldn't be your personality anymore.

Trump's own DOJ website still has a press release up from January pointing out that violent crime in D.C. is at its lowest in more than 30 years.

One cool way to solve homelessness that isn’t an authoritarian take over of a city is to give everyone homes

Racism is the reason why your rent is high, racism is the reason why you will never have universal healthcare, racism is the reason why college costs a fortune, racism is the reason why democrats and republicans completely agree on killing Palestinian people

W/Dean Cain in the headlines over wanting to "Join ICE" (boo), I just realized I've been conflating him in my head w/Sean Duffy. Like I know one was Superman and one was on Real World, but also, they're basically the same - washed up TV stars worshipping Trump as a Republican God to stay relevant.

Where does one buy an inexpensive desk lamp when one is not shopping on Amazon or at Target 🙃

Just a reminder that if you're working on the HBO Harry Potter show, or the audiobook, or making/buying licensed Harry Potter products, or covering *any* of the previously noted without mentioning JK Rowling's virulent and non-stop transphobia, this is what you're supporting:

110% tax on all income over $200k

I had a dream that I was teaching this semester (I'm not), but it was awful. All of my students were the worst - not paying attention, or listening to instructions, or just generally being The Worst™️. Woke up incredibly sad and frustrated by the experience in my dream.

Today I helped my brother move. He's been living with my mom for 6 months (which wasn't a great situation all around), and has finally moved out. It was hot and sweaty, but between my brothers and I, we did it in just a few hours. Now to take a well-deserved shower.

an anonymous source that goes by the neutral name "jeffersondavisfan" has leaked that, as a child, Zohran Mamdani drew this hate-filled symbol in over eight notebooks and on two different desks

This dinner weather is trash.

The King Center, and the children of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, have repeatedly distanced themselves from Alveida King, who was MLK’s niece. She is not close to his living children, Bernice and Martin, and they have made it clear that she does not speak for them or the King Center.

My cat seems to think I need her support every time I'm in the bathroom. Especially when I shower, she has to come check on me.

I have acquaintances who worked on this!!

Sometimes I envy people who are blissfully ignorant.
