I’ve given this advice so many times. You are here to make friends!!!

Not ready to be old enough to have used two defunct forms if NYC transit payments

Tis the season for cartoon ham

Soviet New Year's card from the World War II showing Ded Moroz (Santa Claus) decorating his tree with Nazis, 1942

Merry Christmas

great news everyone. the mattie lubchansky review of books on their year end best-of list named simplicity their best book of the year in the “released by mattie lubchansky” category. what a huge honor,

i have 3 desires on this earth: 1. the liberation and emancipation of all working people 2. thriving indie media landscape where people can make cool niche art 3. kiss wife kiss wife kiss wife

The segment seems to contradict Bari’s assertion that the Trump administration didn’t respond to request for comment. Per the report, 60 Minutes reached out to DHS who declined a request for an interview and referred all questions about CECOT to El Salvador.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

Would Geese exist without the success of School of Rock (2003)? Much to consider

I really love a dumb blockbuster and liking things other people like, but I must come clean that Avatar 2 is the only movie that has made me "my friend's uncle got so mad that he had to go in the backyard" mad

I wrote my aunt’s obituary. She was an incredible woman. obituaries.startribune.com/obituary/kat...

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

What bothers me more than anything about this is that many of the same people who correctly go, "This guy's a crank!" when he's talking about Tylenol causing autism or anti-vax stuff will sit there nodding along like, "Hey, if HHS said this, it must be legit!" when it involves trans care.

6 years ago, a federal ban on gender-affirming care for young people was absent from the national Dem agenda, seemed unlikely to almost everyone who isn’t trans. 6 years ago, Marjorie Taylor Greene was a QAnon crank with a crossfit gym. Yesterday her ban passed out of the House with three Dem votes.

Please don’t live in my city if you’re going to be walking in front of me. Thanks in advance.

I think you should buy my wife @mattielubchansky.com graphic novel about queerness and community and monsters for a loved one this solstice season! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/739012...

Even though the same product is available under a different name, do I know anyone (like me) who still misses Grade B maple syrup? Get at me

an entire generation losing their minds that their children and grandchildren would DARE to do anything they don't understand and turning the full might of the world's imperial powers against the people they profess to love most

god there’s just no one like anne carson

friday!!!!! i am going to stay out LATE and have two or three BEERS and see my FRIENDS play great MUSIC and you should come too

Thrilled to be on @bestfoodblog.bsky.social's list of best food writing of the year! www.bestfoodblog.net/the-year-in-...

Hey guess what Chuck Schumer's NYC phone line is wide open

One Battle After Another was a good look at what would happen if my dad were in Taken

I finally remembered to pick up a copy of @mattielubchansky.com’s Simplicity and read it this weekend and it’s genuinely delightful. My new favorite work of hers, for sure!!!

This is one of those times when all of the bad news just sucks the air out of your lungs.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

to be candid for a moment!! it’s been like pulling teeth to get coverage of this thing – it doesn’t have a tidy elevator pitch and critical outlets are rapidly disappearing (and quietly covering trans books less). anyway so if you read and liked it i’d very much appreciate you telling a friend 🖤🖤

doing promo is physically painful for me but i really would love it if you bought or read my newest book that came out a few months ago. i think it’s the best thing i’ve ever made and im so immensely proud of it. simplicitybook.xyz

Things are once again bad so here’s how hot I looked last night

No one has ever lost their mind like the audience at EEGA right before the intermission

Look a union can ensure you don't face discrimination from management and that your layoff package is robust, but if you are racist that's on you.

Ok so I finally tried this last night at a strange and disastrous pop up in New York and would you believe it it's just hot chocolate. It tastes exactly like Swiss Miss made with half and half.

I basically deleted a whole draft and rewrote 900 words of it fuck this!!!!

The incredible grassroots anti-ICE organizing in LA, Chicago, NC, and now New Orleans is probably the most hopeful political thing I’ve seen all year. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/new-orlean...

very nice to see SIMPLICITY (in bookstores everywhere fyi) on the pw critics' poll~ www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

People thinking that encountering a link to an article that winds up being paywalled is some sort of bait/lying/gotcha is gonna be what gets me sent to the sea for my agonies

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

a type of content that makes me want to launch myself into space and is huge part of why everything is so bad: TikToker goes down a “rabbit hole,” makes 9-minute video. The “rabbit hole” was she found an Eater article. The Eater journalist did all the work: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTruBS8cp/

[moaning weeping screaming] SIMPLICITY mattie lubchansky 2025

I really don't think it's a good thing that you can casually browse a website you've never been on before for 30 seconds and suddenly they can email you like HEY ARE YOU SURE YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BUY SOMETHING. I'm bravely saying that should not be able to happen.

Getting the sense that the block-long line in front of the Soho New York or Nowhere store is mostly comprised of people from “nowhere”

This is already marked out and now it just means a bunch of cars are parked in it and then trapped by the cars parking in the actual parking lane, this is so stupid

I wrote this earlier this year and I still hope it can be of use! www.eater.com/24364171/ice...

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

Finally, the transcribed interview with @mattielubchansky.com in zine-form on her recent book, Simplicity and the work of the Cartoonists Co-Op Find it and many more at tfsr.media/zines/#Augus...

The AOL-Time Warner merger ruined my mom's job and was the first thing that really made me aware of labor issues in media, so!

My aunt died today, quite suddenly, and she was the most adventurous and fun person. Take a trip somewhere cool for her.

Well well well if it isn’t 126
