The thing that occurs to me, is that everyone in the congregation is listening to this. No one is scrolling or answering texts. Happy MLK Day, all, and thanks to @vanderhoofy.bsky.social for sharing it.

I have sang Lift E’ry Voice, received greetings from three church families, and turned to greet my neighbor. I’m officially MLK’d for the year.

Parched I get, but “bewildered “? Really? Nah!

The LeBron James of divorced women. No one is doing it like her.

I'm liking the discrete (dis-tweet) exit best: no fuss, no froth, no feeding the beast or adding to the noise. If asked you might say: "it no longer served my purpose." Otherwise, a shrug. Twitter? Dead to the world.

Idk how much Polymarket paid for those ads, but does anyone wanna make a bet?https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01/11/arts/golden-globes-2026-watch/fc6c54a6-7a3b-5dae-8bcb-37f18b13bce6?smid=url-share

Turns out Walt Whitman saw Bari Weiss coming some 150 yrs ago. His description of hacks: "kept-editors, spaniels well-train'd to carry & fetch, creatures of the President, creatures of would-be Presidents... , the lousy combings and born freedom-sellers of the earth."

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

What I’m calling “Aparkalypse” Those who want to beat the crowd fleeing from danger: this is California. Do others see/take part in this trend? (My theory: could be a reaction to the chaos wrought by the recent devastating fires). 🔥 🚗🚙

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

@zadiesmith.bsky.social wish I could have heard this stirring speech live. Thank you for this love letter to, and advocacy of, libraries and librarians everywhere. 👏📚

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
