If your Black Friday sale continues into December, it’s no longer a Black Friday sale.

Below Deck Mediterranean and Thanksgiving leftovers 🤌

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Why do I love living in Boston? Yo-Yo Ma playing the Bach cello suites before bringing Mayor Wu out to duet for an encore, that’s why.

A million thanks to @schwartzcenter.bsky.social for featuring my poetry at their 30th anniversary dinner. #harmreduction and compassionate healthcare go hand in hand 🌟

Literally three blocks from the house where my brother—my only sibling—died of an accidental fentanyl overdose in July 2021. Thank you to CM Chavez and all who are dedicated to expanding his program. Harm reduction saves lives.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Opinion: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 10 made history with a supersized cast and bracket-style competition, but some fans found it predictable and over-produced. Could the show benefit from adopting Love Island’s real-time production, audience involvement, and unpolished moments?

This analysis of canceled NIH grants really hits home. “According to a Bloomberg Opinion analysis, more than half of the 550 grants terminated over the last six weeks by the NIH addressed LGBTQ health somehow,” writes @lisamjarvis.bsky.social #LGBTQ #HealthEquity #PublicHealth #MedSky
