I can't keep the thread up, but suffice to say, PEOPLE VOTED TO PROTECT AND FUND LIBRARIES AND SO MANY SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS SUPPORTED PRO-EDUCATION, PRO-STUDENT CANDIDATES. People showed up. They didn't just buy banned books. They VOTED. And guess what? Voting made a difference.

“Toad, Toad, wake up,” said Frog. “Look at your garden!” Toad looked at his garden. Little green plants were coming up out of the ground.

The next day Toad gave his jacket to Frog. Frog thought that it was beautiful. He put it on and jumped for joy. None of the buttons fell off. Toad had sewed them on very well.

New Jersey, our choice this November is clear. Mikie Sherrill has dedicated her life to serving others, and I've personally seen her only ever put the people of our state first. She won't back down from the fight against federal chaos. That's the principled leadership we need in this moment. (1/3)

Come see an amazing poetry lineup tonight in Brooklyn at 6:30pm for “Poetry of Peculiar Joys”! Reading & panel host @jaredharel.bsky.social with poets @readinstead.bsky.social @rosebudbenoni.bsky.social Yerra Bergman, Lynn Melnick, and Jason Schneiderman. www.theneighborhoodbk.org/extra-events...

Happy release day to @djvorreyer.bsky.social whose fourth full-length collection, Unrivered, is now available from Sundress Publications! sundress-publications.square.site/product/unri...

A lot of news websites are running articles about Amazon Prime Day for the sake of affiliate revenue. It always makes me think of the feature I reported in 2018 on Consumer Reports, Wirecutter, and the rise of ecommce editorial sites and verticals: www.cjr.org/business_of_...

Hey! Here, have a pinned thread of my writer stuff. First, my debut poetry collection came out in June. I'm proud of it. Readers have said it's good, so that's cool. You can get it all the usual places—my favorite is asking an indie bookstore to order it for you via Ingram.

New Yorkers won't just be electing a new mayor come November. Six measures that could ultimately amend the state’s constitution and revise the city charter will also be on the ballot. Learn more about them here: www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/06/b...

A little over a month away from the first of these!!!! Mark your calendar and register for the Zoom link: beardedbardsofbluesky.weebly.com

I have a cousin who uses ChatGPT a lot, and his son just started university. Very smart kid, surrounded by pre-med students, loves basketball and wants to be a sports therapist. I recently explained to him that using ChatGPT is like working out and taking testosterone. 🧵

It’s CRAZY that I get to chat with @roxanegay.bsky.social about RESTING BITCH FACE tomorrow night!!! AHHHH!!!

If you are also stressed out and filled with rage, please remember to eat a high protein meal to avoid stomach pains and headaches due to hunger and dehydration. And there is no shame in heating up canned soup or microwave meals when your executive function is low.

A reminder that follow-for-follow schemes and all forms of follow farming are harmful, contribute to the spread of misinfo and disinfo, & legitimize bad actors, willful and otherwise. Don’t follow farm. Block everyone who does. Idc if they’re funny or famous or seem nice. They perpetuate harm.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.
