Let me just say: I have run more than a dozen marathons and an ultramarathon and I have worked 13-hour days in a cornfield in the scorching-ass sun, and none of those things broke me like breastfeeding. It’s not a question of will. I am a determined person. Sometimes your body just WONT DO IT.

Fantastic interview by @howlsociety.bsky.social with @hironennes.bsky.social about their book "LEECH" that we read! I'm psyched to read "The Works of Vermin!" howlsociety.com/2025/12/08/1...

H.R. 1's a racist, sexist, & classist bill. Black women are 3x+ "more likely to die in pregnancy or postpartum. Congress passed a sweeping budget, the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' that'll slash Medicaid, destabilize ACA marketplaces...jeopardizing access to care for millions." www.ajc.com/opinion/2025...

I mean if they shut down the government they could stop occupying DC, but noooooooo they want slave labor terrorizing us.

Join us on Discord to discuss our book of the week: Piñata by artist, writer and filmmaker, Leopoldo Gout. What could be inside this carefully crafted sculpture, intended to be bludgeoned until it spills its treasures?  Find out! Thanks @lovngmindfulnss.bsky.social for the photo!

"Trump admin moves to end veterans’ abortion access in cases of rape, incest and health" Of COURSE they are, because what we've seen time & time again is fascists & Repubs DON'T CARE about members of the military, no matter how much mouth noise they make. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/trum...

"You might've heard the #NCGA just passed a 'minibudget' bill—HB125—the end of July...tucked inside that bill is something that sounds small but could have big consequences: the creation of a new office called the Division of Accountability, Value & Efficiency, DAVE." ncbudget.org/dave-could-c...

Wow, @parmountplus.bsky.social @cbsnews.com. Such cowards. You know what the word is for people who cower and bow down to fascists? Fascists. #BoycottCBS #BoycottParamount #NoColbertNoCBS #WeLoveTheLateShowWithStephenColbert

"'This is not just an NC problem. This is an existential threat to democracy...I worry this is honing a playbook to be used in the future, that people in power hold on to power by selectively challenging election outcomes they don’t like'" - Justice Allison Riggs www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Great interview from @patrickbarb.bsky.social of the always awesome @christinogle.bsky.social ! 💜 shortwavepublishing.com/magazine/you...

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Happy "A Palace Near the Wind" release day to all who celebrate! 💙 @aijiang.bsky.social 💙 What an exquisitely gorgeous book!

Women In Horror Month - this month and every month. #wihm

Elon updated DOGE, claiming to have fixed the mistakes we all pointed out. But instead of correcting them, he just added more false claims. He even inflated his so-called “savings” total from $55 billion to $65 billion, when in reality, the actual increase is only from $2 billion to $2.3 billion.

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

Please support Lily Meade; she's an amazing author! gofund.me/37bc4604
