Do I know anyone in San Francisco who might be able to help as an assistant for a music video shoot? Paid gig, hmu!

this was our sweet little city park, a block from our apartment, where we'd go read when it was too hot to be inside. last time I was in the city, I was super sad to see it fenced.

for amplification...it'll come for you if it hasn't already.

for amplification to those who can...help the hustle.

Thank you, Pat! For reading, for caring, for keeping up. And for finding my favorite lines.

Mas importante for OlyPenners! And I know all the arguments, against, and none of them are as good as the arguments for. And most of them are hyperbolic.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

Conversation with family member: Them: Why do you always boil everything down to being racist? Me: I don’t. It’s about dominion. Them: Oh, so I’m a Dominionist, now, too? Me: You said it.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Let's talk about Samizdat ("self-published"), a system for the distribution of censored #literature under the Soviet state Copies were made of banned texts, often by hand. If you got a copy you were expected to make more. Often they were given fake covers to hide their true nature #censorship

You want to get on the page, here’s the bracket. I’m in the NE conference and going up against some tearjerkers.

Seattle City Hall right now, where students from around the city have gathered after a mass walk-out to protest ICE:

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

The Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, announced that they're shutting down their books section. We'd say "ironic," but... Keep supporting indie bookstores and public libraries over the mega retailer, aka the institutions that actually care about storytelling 💓

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Deeply inevitable, entirely predicted, and the shit people running this country don't give a damn.

Looks like I am up against Blink 182....and lords-willing if I have to then go against Clapton...it's gonna be tough and I love writers, but I hate both of those songs. As for Lush & Green. that one escaped me.

just putting this here no reason

saw someone call schumer cowardly and chide him for lacking the backbone to call for ICE to be abolished, & it must once again be pointed out that that is untrue. he is not trying to oppose the republicans and failing, he is on the same team as the republicans, and his enemy is you

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

I honestly don’t understand how people can watch football right now. #televisiondrugofthenation

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

I could go the rest of my life not hearing Dax Sheppard go on about anything. I really could. What do you do when your partner has a podcast addiction.
