John Cena is a master of defusing questions designed to get celebrities to say controversial things. Truly, a master of the craft.

Personally, I think it's important that children be taught about all the early Saddle Creek bands. Not just Cursive, but Bright Eyes, The Faint, Rilo Kiley, and even The Good Life. Hear hear!

MARCH SADNESS 90S EDITION SWEET 16 DAY 4 FINAL SCORES: BUSH 142, Blink-182 97 ANI DIFRANCO 137, Nirvana 113 Congrats to @thejasonthayer.bsky.social & @susannadonato.bsky.social! Taking the weekend off from games; expect an announcement a little later about Next Year’s Xness Theme however!

Jesus when he comes back to Earth:

To make exploring currently available treatment options for #Long COVID easier, @patientled.bsky.social and @rthm.bsky.social collaborated to create a treatment guide. bit.ly/3PIr5tY

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

A viral video about a man named Solomon Fairfax, who earned the nickname the "Grim Reaper" of Charleston after spending years killing slaveholders, has hundreds of thousands of likes and shares. There’s just one problem: Solomon Fairfax doesn't exist

17/ We know there are more women who have had C-sections against their will, and we want to better understand their experiences. If you have a story to share, please reach out to [email protected].

9/ Like Doyley, Brianna Bennett also had three prior C-sections. Both women are Black. And they had both questioned the need for their previous surgeries and arrived prepared to fight for vaginal births.

6/ Pregnancy is the only condition where Florida courts have ruled that a mentally competent patient can be forced to undergo unwanted treatment. It’s rooted in the concept of fetal personhood: that a fetus has equal and, in some cases, more rights than the woman sustaining it.

Potentially unsalvageable country.

Hey all, I wanted to share this GoFundMe for @cassieclearly.bsky.social for her bottom surgery. Cassie is one of the biggest fans of my podcast and I'd love to repay her for all her support over the years by asking you all to contribute to her surgery fund. gofund.me/efe04d035

lmao the eurovision mascot is so ugly I literally screamed at this reveal

As a reporter and a queer, fuck Pink News. They outta know better. Also, a reporter-free newsroom is no newsroom.

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

In high school I crowd surfed at a Blink 182 concert (very not my nature, but, exhilarating!). My gateway to Blink was MxPx, who I also loved dearly. There's still time to help Blink make it to the next round! marchxness.com/schedule

We need to think bigger than ‘what if we leave the causes in place then try to mitigate the problems?’

Can you help me meet my fundraising goal of $2500? For 6 years I’ve been an abortion doula. From volunteering with BRAF, to serving as its board president for 3 years, and now to serving as an at-large board member, I have been proud to support the work this organization does. fund.nnaf.org/RaesTeam

I'm passionate about Black women getting mammograms. I'm worried about how few of us get them especially at the right time. If I ever get to retire, I want to do more around this issue.

This week marked the anniversary of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve summarized our thoughts a bit below, but tl;dr: Unfortunately, COVID-19 is still with us, & although we may be tired of hearing about it, it’s extremely important to continue to take steps to protect ourselves & others.

1. A #flu update. 11 more kids have died from flu this season, bringing the total so far to 101. That number is horrible & it will get worse. Peds flu deaths reports are often delayed. #CDC says these deaths occurred between 12/27/25 & 3/7/26. 85% of the kids who were eligible were not vaxed.

Behind on book club, behind on @marchxness.bsky.social , astoundingly caught up on my 15th rewatch of drag race all stars season 2 *insert dril somebody help me budget tweet*

In The Little Prince, the pilot says, “it is such a secret place, the land of tears.” We’ve tried valiantly in @marchxness.bsky.social to open that place up to one another. Mazzy was never up once that I saw, all day, by even one vote. But I appreciate everyone who voted & sent notes or messages.

I've been a huge March Xness fangirl for the better part of a decade and this is my first official tourney essay—getting to the Sweet 16 is thrilling! Thank you to everyone who read and voted. Rage can be sadness too.

I am just the right age to have driven around semi-rural small-town America listening to August and Everything After on repeat, so gotta go with @mlfaliveno.bsky.social and the Crows and "Round Here" for this round marchxness.com/2ndround-mye...

I’m assembling a team

Until we get proper HEPA filtration in airports and on planes travel is still hostile whether you're from the US or not Wear An N95

Brutal matchup here between Emma’s deeply relatable essay on growing out of + into sadness via a fave millennial depression banger (underrepresented in the bracket imo!) and @lateration.bsky.social’s beautiful (and circumstantially unrelatable) essay around Nick Cave, Nora Ephron, and what we carry

Ummm @moirajo.bsky.social and @marchxness.bsky.social … a convergence in worlds may have occurred and I dunno what happens next…

Dang. I have now read all 64 essays for this year's @marchxness.bsky.social tournament for the saddest song of the 90s & I am sad & impressed in the most excellent way & grateful that this annual event gives us some of the best writing, reading, & community available on this godforsaken internet.

I still can’t believe we got from the dining table live in 2026

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has commuted the death sentence of Charles “Sonny” Burton to life imprisonment The 75-year-old was set to be executed even though he was not the person who shot and killed the victim

Every bit of @jygravley.bsky.social ’s “sappy” essay—the structure, the collegiate depression of a suicide spring, the exhaustion of what I’ve often called the suicide summer to myself—is just breathtaking. Man!

I’ve somehow never been a Wilco guy (despite everything about me, such as having just purchased two new The National shirts), but I just adore @chrislkeller.com’s essay on he and what we leave

33 ⅓ opened their submission window until May 1. Could be of interest to @marchxness.bsky.social folks! 333sound.com/how-to-submi...

I don't do many readings anymore due to health reasons, but when I am on a bill you know its going to be worth going out of your way for. March 31st, Philly. I'm going to read my March Xness essay & bum everyone out in a good way.

Christopher L. Keller's essay made me cry too so NOW what do I do?! "It felt less like something was missing & more like something had been taken. What remained was a space that never quite filled in." & "For all the time I spent in my head, I didn't have the tools to describe how I felt to others"

Whew this killed me in a bunch of different ways: "They seem to believe that you can either stay at home or you can find your true self; you can't do both." Christopher L. Keller on Wilco: marchxness.com/1stround-amo...
