Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t reinstated because Disney executives had a change of heart. He’s back on air because those executives got a wakeup call from the American public. People all over the country showed up, canceling subscriptions, and protesting outside ABC and Disney, Nexstar, and more. 🧵

Censorship is here and it’s come in the form of corporations censoring themselves in order to win favor with the regime.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Two recent picture books from the library that I adored. #kidlit @carolinekpritchard.bsky.social @jesskeatingbooks.bsky.social

I'm way too old to be this obsessed with The Summer l Turned Pretty.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles. Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator. Don't look away. Don't stay silent. If you do, don't be surprised if it's your city next.

These guys don't care about labels like "deer resistant"

Sent my friend who has recently been diagnosed with Lyme disease a link to The Cut article about Justin Timberlake saying he has Lyme disease with the message, You're in good company. AITA

Housework is a scam. You finish one round of chores, then you have to start the next, meanwhile your cat vomits again. 😵‍💫

DOLL PARTS is out now in the U.K. A suspense novel about grief, girlhood, secrets, and the haunting legacy of a mysterious college club. If you love: complicated female friendship, dark academia, Sylvia Plath, dual timelines …this one’s for you.

Hamilton nearly got to realize his dream of riding a deer when he bolted out the front door and happened upon our resident deer in the garden. #catsofbluesky

This is about more than immigration. It’s about fighting for basic human rights and preserving our democracy.

No cheating post the most recent pic of your pets

A classic coordination failure: everyone makes excuses for why they go along with authoritarianism rather than resisting. And democracy and the rule of law crumble. We thought our institutions and culture were stronger, but we are following Hungary's path.

Not to brag, but I'm very excited to have an early copy of DOLL PARTS by @pennyzang.bsky.social 🩷 #booksky

The First Amendment guarantees the essential right to assemble peacefully to advocate for any cause. Reports that the Trump administration may be using invasive surveillance technology to monitor protests against their anti-immigrant polices without a warrant are deeply alarming.

When the Japanese American National Museum is saying this take it seriously.

Oh hey look, I'm in this one 🙃 (subtly - I'm the declarant from Vermont) If you don't think it's a big deal that the government is refusing to issue me a passport that matches all my other legal identity docs, a reminder that some of us travel internationally for work or other reasons and now can't

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it?? Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

Palo Alto showed up today for #nokings

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Ready for tomorrow 🚫👑 #nokings

The deployment of Marines to Los Angeles was uncalled for, rushed, and potentially dangerous for everyone involved. We’re demanding answers from Sec. Hegseth. This isn't just a California problem. What Trump does in Los Angeles could become the authoritarian blueprint elsewhere in the country.

Very easy to feel doomerish right now, but I'm taking some heart from this @leahgreenberg.bsky.social message laying out the rationale for Saturday's No Kings protests.

Thank you for this amazing review, @publisherswkly.bsky.social! @laancham.bsky.social @literaticat.bsky.social @jemiscoe.bsky.social @alexborbolla.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Just chilling (on the tiny couch that @kristyeverington.bsky.social's cats didn't want anymore).

Celebrating World Book Day with an impressive stack of picture books from the library. #kidlit

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse. It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.

Saw some very adorbs baby goats today.

If it can happen to Rümeysa Öztürk, it can happen to anyone. Rümeysa must be released now.

I moved to the US under Obama. What a bait and switch 🥴

There's a gorgeous bonded pair of Maine Coons available for adoption at Marin Humane. As their profile says, "they are a lot of cat", but if you know anyone who's interested, send them our way: marinpets.shelterbuddy.com/animal/anima...

cringe, as an idea, is a dead end. it’s a means of writing off sincerity and earnestness in pursuit of some ill-defined concept of above-it-all cool. letting it help define online culture was a mistake. if you view everything as cringe, you are living an empty life
