This week it comes to a vote and Trump is demanding passage. Call your Senators AGAIN. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

The Republican paedophile ring.

“the Metamorphosis of the Prime Intellect” was a wild ride of a book with a huge laundry list of trigger warnings. Honestly one of the best scifi books I’ve read in a long time. I think it’s my new favorite. It’s free to read on the author’s website.

Well then welcome to the Streisand effect

There’s nothing more obnoxious than when people celebrate being an asshole or “just saying what everyone’s thinking” Yeah, dude, most people have edgy thoughts, and learn to keep them inside. It’s called control. What you’re doing is like being really proud of constantly shitting yourself.

I guess people need to be told: The purpose of the military is to kill people. Whatever the recruiter told you, "protecting your country," for example, they actually mean killing people. And when they say things like, "you can get money for college," you can append "by killing people" to that.

Got a job interview for a great position today. Wish me luck.

What experts say about AI psychosis, how ProtonMail data helped the FBI identify a protester, and a viral app that exposed incredibly personal data of hundreds of thousands of people.

When I feel down about the state of the world I listen to this song on repeat: youtu.be/BaLx0a1X0fo

bookstores are getting increasingly conservative in their actual book buying numbers, so 1000% preorder that book you're excited about please. Every single copy helps.

Shouldn't the fact that the President is accused of violently raping a 13 year old and DOJ covered it up the biggest political scandal in US history? www.thedailybeast.com/doj-sources-...

The Bride is going into my favorites list. Love the 1920s dirty girl esthetics. Giving Bonnie and Clyde meets Frankenstein. Also killer acting firm everyone. I enjoyed it very much.

If you didn't already know that Polymarket and Kalshi are dude-saturated spaces, well you absolutely do when you check and see there's no one betting on who's now writing as Lady Whistledown at the end of season four.

one of my favorite moments of TNG is when Picard is immediately unable to contain his horse autism

I need a wardrobe that rivals the costumes in the 1994 Super Mario Brothers movie. I think that could heal me.

Caught between My partner is taking on a lot and I should get another partner now that I’m more healed from the last poly breakup. & What if the government is conducting surveillance in the dating apps and they wish to harm us all?

Not enough. More.

It’s nice of novels to be consistently “worked on” even when untouched.

How delicious and summery is this beautiful illustrative painting by Carolyn Gavin?! #beautifulbizarre #strawberryshortcake #foodart #watercolorpainting #contemporaryillustration

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Oliver takes a dump on the Schumer-led Democratic demands after Alex Pretti’s shooting — “masks off, body cams on” — noting the killers had fucking body cams on, that that footage exists, that it didn’t change shit, and that we’re likely never to see it b/c they were exonerated automatically.

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

When it is merited…be petty. Rival a Greek god with your pettiness. Do it.

Really proud of this piece and so thankful to all the sex workers who talked with me while I was researching! I don’t often see this framed as a speech and artistic expression issue but it is: Visa/MC are effectively crowning themselves art directors as they rip sex workers off.

Call your reps about this. Every time a book ban has been overturned or shut down, it's because the vast majority of people who believe in the freedom to read spoke up. Find your reps' info at reps.fyi.

I felt more at home singing The Rainbow Connection than I ever did in any church hymn I sang in the pews. Sometimes you know who your tribe is before you even meet “…the lovers, the dreamers, and me…”

I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important. Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen. also if voting didn't matter gerrymandering wouldn't exist.

My heart’s name is Jude. I didn’t name it that. Paul McCartney did.

A very lovey and snuggly Constantine. Such unbothered. Much purrr and nuzzles.

“With your insulin regiment you should try to eat the same foods every day.” Bitch I have ADHD I fucking get BORED of the same foods and that’s ASSUMING I even REMEMBER to eat!

we reached the “no WMDs” phase in two days.

When you gotta use your old insulin pump because your current one requires sensors and all your sensors for the month have failed and you gotta wait for the manufacturer to send you more before you can use your usual insulin pump. Ugh. Fuck diabetes and fuck insurance companies.

complete insanity

I love it when I come home with an excellent thrift store haul. It’s been a very good Sunday.

Trump wants Americans to die for Zionism. #FuckTrump!

It's time! Nominations are now open for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction, which will be given to a work of imaginative fiction, published in 2025, that reflects the concepts and ideas that were central to Ursula’s own work.

Happening now: a protest in Chicago's federal plaza is underway in response to US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier today. Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez just addressed the crowd, which I'd put at a couple hundred people strong. A lone counterprotestor is also posted up across the street.
