So the reason we don’t do this is to keep little kids from getting hit by cars when they’re waiting for the bus or walking to school in the winter

Happy #PublicationDay, @samanthapaigerosen.bsky.social! 🏘️ LIVING, TOGETHER, an anthology on found family, hacking adulthood, and other lessons communal living teaches us about the future of US housing, is “rigorous, funny, authentic, and informative.” — @emmaceisenberg.bsky.social

But having been trained in it, its SO OBVIOUS when older politicians are doing a Form Platitude. Hear me out. The thing to understand is, it’s the equivalent of “I’m fine, and how are you” in a conversational opening salvo. It just serves to signal “I know this dance, I wasn’t raised in a barn”.

We rewatched the Leaving Neverland doc last night and I just cannot for the life of me comprehend not believing these guys

Whatever shopped there shops alone.

Southerner in the South found to be charming and nasty, whoopedidoo. There is nothing remarkable about a charming bigot, that’s the entire genteel racist brand.

Are the obituaries going to go with euphemisms like "confirmed bachelor" or are they finally going to speak out loud about one of the worst-concealed closet cases in American political history?

the complete accuracy of this

The “man of his times” fallacy is so easily exposed by primary source evidence and yet it persists

you're not sad! you're just tired!

I’m sorry but am I tripping balls right now?

this was a good day

I’ve avoided a lot of the Platner discourse because it’s a toxic tarpit, but I think the notion that the lesson here is primarily about either one political faction or something essential about “unvetted” newcomers, sits in some considerable tension with the entire Eric Swalwell experience.

Not only does this horrible story illustrate the wanton cruelty of our immigration system as it was is now, it also illustrates how utterly heartless it's been for decades. This man tried to get his citizenship for as long as it takes to raise three sons. He did everything "the right way." And...

i think the technical term is Shitheads

LORENZO SALGADO ARAUJO Houstonians - pls tell your mayor that you refuse to accept any investigation led by ICE, that your neighbor deserves justice & his family the truth.

"He just had a nazi tattoo, that doesn't necessarily mean he's a nazi" sounds almost exactly like "technically it's Ephebophilia" to me.

this imagery is really hitting my "this is why calico/paisley dresses give me the ick" ex-quiverfull kid buttons

searching for news reports of a very specific hammer murder from the 1960s results in learning that hammer murders were actually very common and were often referred to as "hammer-murder" in the newspapers. oh and the newspapers didn't hold back from graphic photos of bodies.

Here it is: the story I've been trying to track down now for over a week and in the midst of researching, learned this library is a 501c3, and thus, not eligible to FOIA. The New York Public Library's leadership has sold out to Trump, including censoring book lists. us250nypl.my.canva.site

One trillion dollars can't buy you a campaign as effective as this one by @green-sarah.bsky.social

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

*angrily, bitterly*: "you can't even be a rapist anymore, because of woke"

Every time the left argues about how bad rape is or is not depending on how much you want to like or happen to need the person accused of it, I have flashbacks to the church covering up pedos bc they were pillars of the community. We are not angry enough.

I spent the first 10 years of adulthood assuming if I had a spidey sense that someone was unserious / bad it was probably in my head, and have had the last 10 years confirm without fail that my spidey sense is spot on

I just ran into Mitch McConnell hiking the Appalachian Trail.

if you hate trump cause he's a rapist but want to argue to vote for another rapist cause he's a democrat, then you don't actually care about that at all.

everybody who looked the other way on dealbreaker after dealbreaker because they were so stoked on their great white populist hope deserves the humiliation she’s going to be forced to bear instead. yall made her into a sin eater because you wanted a slur-saying left so badly

if you didn’t dump his ass over the nazi tattoo congratulations you are dumber than a high school junior at a hardcore show. a child with moshpit CTE is dogwalking you morally

Refusal to attend to this pattern is functionally a self-harm impulse at this point

who else is looking forward to yet another round of 'male acquaintances channel their secret contempt for women through a loudmouthed defense of graham platner'

So much of our current cultural moment is driven by a refusal to participate in literacy at any level

Looking to connect with people with post-polio syndrome who are connected with politics. For a story I'm going to write but not yet. Email is [email protected]. Appreciate this being shared with folks IRL if you know those impacted.

This is a really moving and thoughtful interview

Does he follow her IG yet tho

every job i see these days is like: LEAD CONTENT ANALYST, Puppy Killing Factory (remote). $350,000 - $500,000. You will edit our internal newsletter (circulation 500). Associate Editor, Nonprofits, Global Good Magazine (in office, NYC). $27,000 - $28,000. Lead ALL of our fundraising efforts!

and like I know I've said this a hundred times but honestly guys it is an ENORMOUS DEAL that Leo explicitly said, out loud, "refusing to acknowledge Vatican II is an excommunication offense." he was EXCEPTIONALLY clear on the fact that that is the reason. that has potentially seismic ramifications

i mean if the pope is gonna be excommunicating a bunch of guys tomorrow anyway, why not put some more names on the list. c’mon. as a treat, holy father. it would be fun and funny.

rereading this has been good for me today. www.newyorker.com/culture/essa...

the thing that kills me is there are just SO MANY interesting activists, artists, scientists, creators, and thinkers, and you go out of your way to platform a dim bigot from gig harbor being a voluntary amplifier of nazi propaganda amplification aside, it's just a profound lack of any imagination

Went through one of the hardest periods of my personal life during Trump 1.0 and now going through another during Trump 2.0, and I say this with conviction: It’s bad enough that we are governed by ppl who treat us like shit. You don’t have to accept that in your personal life too

thinking about this one a lot, months later katemanne.substack.com/p/we-need-to...

Did you eat and take your meds?

Hello. Did you eat? Take your meds? Drink water?

There is no woman for whom sexual desire is a safe and uncomplicated experience. It does not matter if you are straight or queer, if you are classically feminine or stone butch, if you are cis or trans, if you are a virgin or a whore. To be female is to have your desire problematized.
