Last year there was a story about a relative of JD Vance who had adopted a disabled Asian child who needed a heart transplant, but the family refused to vaccinate her which was putting off the surgery. Does any one else remember this/know what happened to that girl?

Was so elated when Jan agreed to blurb my book.

My adoptive mom lived out her mean girl fantasy on me big time. She grew up as “the ugly duckling” in her family so when I became a chubby kid she bullied me worse than my peers. When I look back on photos from that time I’m like wow I was so little and cute but I never heard nice things like that.

There’s a new adoption Super Bowl ad. It’s not about helping pregnant people, it’s about shaping public opinion. I wrote about why adoption is framed as a “choice” only when abortion is punished. Read here ⬇️ buff.ly/yrFGUqm #adopteesky

I remember working with kids this age when I was 22 and even then the 6ish years between us felt miles long. One day some of the girls told me a man would harass them at the bus stop across from the school and it sent me into a rage. They ALWAYS know when a kid is underage they just don’t care

Another citizen executed in the streets Democratic leadership hoping online to post “damn 😔”

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Alex J Pretti. That was his name. He had a YouTube channel, and a Linkdin profile. I think he was a nurse. He was 37 and had a permit to carry. www.youtube.com/@alexjpretti...

TWIN CITIES FOLKS WHO WANT TO HELP AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START: I put together a big list of resources. Do you want to deliver groceries? do people's laundry? work in community defense? I want to help you get connected! naomikritzer.com/2026/01/19/h...

I was theorizing about this over on threads but to summarize I think there is a direct link toward the demand for readily adoptable children and the immigration crisis. We are seeing parents deported and families torn apart so other families can be created, imo.

If you are a Black queer and/or an adoptee and would like to review my book please message me!

I am not here for Europeans telling me Americans don't know how crazy things are. The Nazis are killing people over here at the moment so we're busy but thanks for the input. I had hoped for solidarity but I suppose I'll have to settle for sneering condescension instead.

Almost at the halfway point!

I’ll never regret following Paul F. Tompkins! He’s like my friend but also my white father.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

ON LEARNING TO DISSECT FETAL PIGS By Renee Nicole Macklin Good i want back my rocking chairs, solipsist sunsets, & coastal jungle sounds that are tercets from cicadas and pentameter from the hairy legs of cockroaches. i’ve donated bibles to thrift stores

So ICE kills a poet and mother and we are supposed to believe there’s more to the story than what the videos clearly show??

NEW: Post-Gazette to shut down 240-year-old paper after SCOTUS slaps down company’s bid to evade court order “Instead of simply following the law, the owners chose to punish local journalists and the city of Pittsburgh,” said Goldstein, president of @pghguild.com newsguild.org/pittsburgh-p...

you could probably capture our president by writing "nobel peace prize" on a pie plate and putting it under one of those boxes held up with a stick tied to a string

First book of 2026 done. Starting a lil thread of my reads this year

I don’t think I ever talked about it here but my book is about finding my bio family but more importantly, deconstructing narratives that were pushed on me as an adoptee.

When I connected with my bio dad earlier this year I like to think I didn’t “upend his life.“ I call him about once a week and we talk about new jazz records we’ve discovered. totally scandalous I know!

Almost every social media app has adoption discourse and I thought tiktok was the worst of it, but this? Pretty bad!

CP was my first big girl in journalism job. It was a job that made me feel a part of a team instead of a lowly employee. Sad to see this! Gonna have to save all my pieces

“It’s in our DNA…and thats why I spent $80,000 to look like white handsome squidward”

I love being a poet. I just woke up in a panic because I thought the sonnets in my book didn’t have voltas (they do).

Straight up devouring this book

Never anticipated the sheer number of emails I’d have to send after a book deal. Between my editor and I it’s atleast 250. She did ask me to send her a pic of me and my book because it made her happy so I’m not complaining I love her 😭

Is this rage bait on bluesky?

I watched three episodes of heated rivalry and started listening to troye Sivan again. Very homophobic of me

What I despise most about the 2020s is this fucking aesthetics hopping bullshit. clean girl aesthetic. Old money aesthetic. Mob wife aesthetic. Now it’s opera aesthetic. Can yall just have one original thought PLEASE?! Wear what fits and is cute or comfortable.

When I was in elementary school other girls would always bother me about what boy I had a crush on and I (gay) couldn’t say Ms. Carmen so I picked a random boy named Deandre and he said “don’t nobody like that jigglypuff!“
