Everything about this regime is simultaneously embarrassing, evil, and viciously incompetent.

Instead of that New York Times article, please have a look at my @mitpress.bsky.social book _Contraception_, which details the benefits of having access to technologies to control one's reproductive capacity and bodily autonomy. #contraception mitpress.mit.edu/978026253842...

Yall I cannot express just how much I love Bibi’s products! I have a wrist brace and compression gloves and they are both EXCELLENT! So much knowledge and consideration is put into every single product!

This is the legal defense fund for the 15 anti-ICE organizers who were recently arrested in Minneapolis. Please contribute generously. They are going to have millions of dollars worth of needs. chuffed.org/project/1865...

Penzy’s Spices is running a “Reflection Pool Special” with 30% off all green spices 😂 so if you need any basil or parsley, today’s a good day 💚 #trollingbutinagoodway

I'm sure this is really cool and 100% safe but maybe we don't send an expedition to the vast underground structure beneath Antarctica *immediately*. nautil.us/vast-hidden-...

Adam, they’re building concentration camps.

Per pooler Jeff Mordock: "POTUS was thunderously booed when he was shown on the Jumbotron during the National anthem."

New punk rock band just launched. Welcome to the stage squirrel juice murder hole!

chat is it good when your head of state cannot appear on camera during the national anthem at a national championship match for one of your main national sports without getting lustily booed by people who are statistically a lot likelier than average to actually be in or adjacent to the ruling class

Apparently, nearly a third of workers are gonna get left behind for not using a technology that seems to offer no real benefits.

It's happening.

Hey university professor types! Please nominate the good people of Minneapolis for a Nobel Peace Prize! 💜 You're eligible to do so!

Eid Mubarek to our friend Ahmed in the north of Gaza. He's keeping on keeping on over there, relentlessly struggling for his survival & his family's. And it's not easy on such a young man. So help him out with some boosts & donations today.

Sunday is a good time to re-share this: Alaska officials gave false info to American Samoans, telling them they can vote. (They can’t, due to a unique status.) Now, the state is threatening them with years in prison, part of GOP’s voting fraud panic. An important story that's worth your time.

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

Okay babes we've got $275 left to raise to get these new tires so I can keep keepin' on with this new job and life in general! Thank you all so much for your help and let's keep it going so we can solve this problem! Paypal: affirmationgin at gmail Cashapp/Venmo: showupforthis

Can we do it? Yes we can (probably, hopefully, with y'alls help, fingers and toes and all other crossable digits crossed)! $275 to go! Safe tires for the win!! Paypal: affirmationgin at gmail Cashapp/Venmo: showupforthis

Heads up. He is/was in a lot of starter packs, too, so check yours if you've made one so you're no longer recommending a rapist.

Friends, an entirely amazing antique has come into my life. I am so excited! From my best guess, this letter and number stamp set dates late 1920s-early 1930s. Anyone have tips on cleaning vintage rubber stamps?

“Compensate” is a wildly inappropriate word here, @apnews.com.

Republicans continue to hector Americans about having more kids while working, in countless ways, to make the reality of having kids less tenable and the overall planet less habitable. It's a wild combo.

Icelandic authorities just rerouted a planned hot water pipeline so as not to disturb an elf hill.

The Pike’s Peak Humane Society has a social media manager who is very good at their job

I'm (barely) old enough to remember when product liability lawsuits were leveled on toy companies over the death of one child swallowing a plastic missile. There has got to be an attorney who wants this pelt on their wall.

@jamellebouie.net said it best. Trump is so all over the place and so dishonest that people cherry pick whatever BS he’s said that resonates with them

And even then whether those elections mean anything is...up in the air ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Repeat after me: authors/translators have moral rights, which include the right to be attributed, and the right to integrity, which means not having their works changed without permission. Rights are rights, which means they are not optional, conditional, or selectively applied.

Protests outside the Israeli real estate event in NYC, where illegal land sales are being advertised. Reporting by @timmyfacciola.bsky.social

Biden-era funds to prop up public transit that floundered during Covid is running out and some cities have cut back on bus service. For people without cars, that puts them at even greater risk for food insecurity. My latest for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A mystery donor in Nebraska is spending $1.6 million on a ballot initiative banning trans girls from girls' sports—duplicating an existing state law. Uihlein is spending $800k on the same in Maine. What do these two states have in common? Close Senate races. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

Freedom 250 will purportedly use the money to host events across the country celebrating the nation’s 250th birthday. But an “Events Toolkit” produced by Freedom 250 and labeled “DRAFT DELIBERATIVE NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION” reveals the events will actually promote pro-Trump political talking points.

finding this shit on my Mac was a pain in the ass, btw I guess recent OSes hide the library folder? anyway, here's how I finally located the weights.bin file open finder > command + shift + G search for "~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default"

Okay folks, because this happens every year: 1. The Met Gala funds the Costume Institute which does not receive any of the money the Met Museum gets from tickets or money from the general donation pool to the Met.

This is why we can’t accept the techbro framing of “well it’s like with textiles and you’re just being luddites”. It’s like if Faustus sold his soul in exchange for being dumber and having his dick chopped off rather than for knowledge and to bang Helen of Troy.

This is so dystopian

SEE YOU TONIGHT BOSTON!! Absolutely thrilled to be talking with one of my heroes, Evelynn Hammonds, who was one of the first Black women to earn an advanced degree in physics and is a giant of history of science and a fellow Trekkie 🖖🏽 www.eventbrite.com/e/chanda-pre...

Go read this wonderful review, please!

Call your reps today. Seriously.

It’s like a (really shit) game where you can’t imagine him stooping to new depths of atrocious behaviour and then he goes and finds a new barrel of awful to scrape the bottom of…

Also HAPPY FRIDAY I would really like for people to pre-order my magical spy weird city novel! It's not coming out in the UK because the one (1) offer we got for UK rights was like "Ugh ugh bleh THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST barely sold, why would we WANT UK rights" But! If pre-orders?? Maybe LOVE???
