One of these days I’m gonna start a monthly support group for eldest daughters in south asian families so we can talk about our Problems.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Sunflower report

Thinking about when I was a refugee caseworker and nice liberal folks would call us asking if they could host a Ukrainian family. When told there weren't any available for rent, but they could host a Congolese or Afghan family instead, we never heard from them again. This happened a lot! Like, A LOT

After all that and there’s not one bare buttock in Wuthering Heights (2026)

He marries your sister-in-law: Not a red flag, since he could just as well claim that you married his brother-in-law. Plus, it will make holiday gatherings more intimate. Between this and the shared parents, nobody should get stuck sleeping in the haunted bed closet.

I’m very happy and everything but does every day need to be new, can we just go back and do one great day again????

it’s so cool everything is either a scam or designed to take away human rights or both now

in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.

Well the “isn’t it terrible what he’s done to the monarchy” crowd are out in force which ignores how bad the monarchy is inherently and also ignores the actual crimes

After a long day of parenting all I want a kindly giantess to pick me up and swaddle me and put on the white noise and pat me to sleep aka the treatment my baby gets all day!!!!! What do you mean I have to soothe myself!!!

My first book, Currents - a @3313books.bsky.social Ocenia title on Tame Impala’s game-changing album - is out today!🪣✅ Available at your usual major book retailers and via @bloomsburyacad.sky.social here: www.bloomsbury.com/au/tame-impa...

Went for dinner with the girls and the baby and everyone took turns holding him and then he briefly fell asleep in someone’s arms while they sang the wiggles it was adorable . Might pay for it tonight but worth it to not be stuck at home.

The job. My @smh cartoon.

Been thinking about how the hallmark of our generation is a sense of helplessness both politically and personally and how much of that comes from the rise of image-based social media, experiencing life as an unreality. Pushing back on helplessness means in part, pushing back on big tech.

If you’re looking for more Peurto Rican artists, I absolutely adored reading Olga dies dreaming by Xochitl Gonzalez last year.

English speakers like "that was less political than I thought" lol they had ricky martin singing "dont do us like you did hawaii"

Still keen to know what flavour the wedding cake was in that REAL WEDDING #superbowl

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

That’s called joy as praxis

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Bezos has killed the Washington Post's books pages. John Williams is a mensch, and a good and loyal friend, to me, to @backlisted.bsky.social and to anyone who loves literature and reading. Now more than ever, you know where not to buy your books, or anything else for that matter.

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

Mehdi makes the great point that we have a goldfish media who instantly reset every day, rarely doing the work of remembering and putting in context, especially when authority figures make credulous claims.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

They’re gonna give Mr Tulk to Chyka and Bruce Keebaugh over my dead body. I love RHOM but this is a woman who makes coffee table books. These are not serious people!!!!!!

You’d think an attempted bombing of an event with 2,000 attendees on the shores of mainland Australia would get a breaking news alert and statement from the Prime Minister of the country. But it’s blackfullas and people who associate with them, that’s fine.

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE: Renee Good: $1,499,580 Alex Pretti: $1,289,249 Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423 Parady La: $45,848 Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991 Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640 Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538 Geraldo Lunas: $2,260 Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

firing the face associated with the unpopular thing is the Reality TV approach to damage control and must never be mistaken for the appropriate execution of justice
