If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

In case you want some sweet news today. I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing. For the entire school. Every kid pre-k through fifth grade (the whole school) goes home with two free books.

my god

I think it’s super important to do art for yourself. But also don’t deny those feelings you get when you share it and don’t get a response. It’s okay for it to disappoint you that no one else dug it but you. Keep making what you like.

JUST A REMINDER ... ... of how close we are today ...

PLR day is the best. I love libraries

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

i prefer “performance art” rather than “crying in the grocery store”

"14. Stay warm. Laugh it off with your closest friends. Water yourself. Our lungs do not like to be cold, sad, or dry." #TodaysPoem #poetry Finding the Love You Need by @trinyfinlay.bsky.social (2024 Opaat Press / @thisisannick.bsky.social) tinyurl.com/yc5dadfh

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had. * RIP David Lynch

live your life in such a way that the entire world doesn't burst out laughing when your rocket blows up

We’re cancelling the guilty part of guilty pleasures. Wanna read romance books and drink cheap wine? Valid. Watch the trashiest reality show and scroll through Amazon? I support this. Listen to the same early 2000s pop song a thousand times in a row? Why stop there? Find that joy and SQUEEZE.

Ugh this is so sad. Maybe not her most powerful, but to me, her most moving poem is this one

Some things not to comment on this Christmas: - someone’s weight - someone’s size - how much they are eating - how little they are eating - the speed they are eating - the type of foods they are eating - the times they are eating - your post Christmas diet - how fat you feel

BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain’s constitution so they “can never be undone.”

REALLY IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE SHARE #ASafeChoice physicians WILL prescribe medication abortion via telehealth FOR WOMEN WHO ANTICIPATE NEEDING THIS MEDICATION. REPEAT: You do NOT need to be currently pregnant to get this prescription. In an era of potentially draconian abortion bans, take note!

I do not donate to my employer because we are already in a labor for compensation relationship. I'm very confused by these emails.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

Americans seeing Wicked in 2024

It's true that bluesky isn't great for news and commentary about Palestine. Maybe it will get better, maybe it won't. But we have to keep trying because it's crucial to talk about Palestine precisely where it feels unwelcome.

i am so pro-sleep

Home is the most dangerous place for women, says global femicide report "Of the 85,000 women killed by men in 2023, 60% died at the hands of a partner or family member, new UN figures show" www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Every single member of congress has their own private bathroom. Regardless of your position, this is nothing but performance art.

I hate when they take away things you were just starting to really enjoy, like your favorite TV show or democracy.

This guy is much less grumpy when sleeping (an obvious but very important fact). #CatSky

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy...

I just cannot handle middle class white people telling me they are giving up because they're tired. I'm an Indigenous woman who grew up in poverty, whose family is still poor, who has lost so much of my family to suicide and addiction. I am tired. We are all tired. Some of us don't get to opt out.

This is love.

Assembling a cabinet from the people in your group chat is certainly a choice.

Same! @lushcosmetics is on the nice list this year.

Don’t stop talking about Palestine.

The Americans are really not okay are they

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Today’s book haul from Westminster Bookmark in Fredericton! Cannot wait to dig into these! 📚💜 @zoewhittall.bsky.social @jesbattis.bsky.social

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Creating in a time of hopelessness is an act of resistance. Just in case you needed to hear that today.

Hey guys I know it's really hard to be conscious of your health right now so please remember that after every hour in the fetal position you should stand up and banshee scream for at least 5 minutes to stretch out your lower back

Do any of you also read four books simultaneously or do you have your life in order 💙📚
