If you live in a GOP district, it’s extra important for your representative to hear from you right now. Call and demand they vote NO on the reconciliation bill.

This is such a fun read!

This is 22 blankets, destined to be a Buy It Now item for those who love democracy via @romancingthevote.com. I can't wait to send them to their new homes after the auction in July!

I told the interns this was for @romancingthevote.com and I think they’re gonna fight y’all for it 😂 🌈

More from Ed Markey on trans rights: "trans rights are human rights. do not let anyone, republican or democrat, tell you otherwise" "it is our job to have love in our hearts" "we need to protect trans kids" Democrats cheering. Convention vote goes 74-26 Markey. This is the correct position.

the happily-ever-after is for everyone. feel free to share!!

Gonna iterate that what I'm about to post is a very real comic from the Birmingham News in 1967 that effectively blamed MLK Jr for the damage that KKK and other white supremacists caused despite Black and civil rights protestors being peaceful. The news media of today is of the same rot.

Thread about 2.7 million people whose lives didn’t get ruined because one stubborn bureaucrat stood in the way of DOGE evildoers

I specifically requested no more metaphors

Every time I see the White House in ruins I think about an alternate history where it was spiffed up to greet the flood of tourists coming to DC to celebrate the 250th and attend the star studded events around the city.

This is a brilliant idea to force corporations to either raise pay rates for their employees or lower their payouts to CEOs 💯💯💯🎯

Happy pride, Hallowell!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Happy Pride! This weekend you can download Errant, Volume One—two fantasy novellas about a stoic swordswoman and a cheerful pickpocket actress causing each other a lot of trouble—for free! books2read.com/errant1 feliciadavin.itch.io/errant1 co-authored with @ghostalservice.bsky.social & KR Collins

If you've never been, put it on your list. A surreal experience. Giant pit of tar, full of fossils. A step back in time. A Ray Harryhausen movie waiting to be made. In the middle of goddamned Los Angeles.

Happy weekend! Ancient clay pots with octopus decoration from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago! 🐙❤️ Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

The fact that MacKenzie Scott is giving away money faster than any billionaire and her wealth has actually grown is just the perfect example of how crazy it is we have billionaires.

I have something from To Know a Dragon Spy (which will be out June 25th!) for this week's #FridayFling prompt "concern." You can find out more and preorder To Know a Dragon Spy here: books2read.com/u/m0jkxA #booksky #romancelandia

To receive endorsements like this from people who have known me for so long really means the world to me. Maine deserves a candidate that they can trust--someone who does the right thing when no one is looking and has been consistently showing up for Maine their entire life. I am that candidate.

I love this! They remind me of Clarence and Georgie @jenniferscrazy.bsky.social.

Yep. The value of corporations rolling out the rainbow carpet isn't what's in their heart of hearts, it's the society-wide signaling of "acceptance is good, bigotry is bad." Even if entirely insincere, it tells society "we think the majority of our customers expect this," and that's good!

I feel like we’re in for many years of “haha, they were spending taxpayer money on bug condoms—DOGE to the rescue!” turning out to be something important Elon’s Tween Team didn’t understand.

"Last September, [NSF] removed 2 of its 3 floating observation stations off Newport, OR, and all 3 of its stations off Grays Harbor, WA, from the water and warehoused them in Corvallis, OR" Excuse me they did WHAT last fall???? #JFC

I am obsessed with this finalist in this year's Michigan “I voted” sticker design contest

Happy Pride! I have books on sale! For $7, you can pick up my queer fantasy trilogy The Gardener's Hand, in which a tiny angry mindreader enlists a sensible farm girl and a slutty poet to help her stop a magical conspiracy: feliciadavin.itch.io/gardenerprid... (or each book is half price)

BREAKING: The House just passed a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal war. Both houses of Congress have now passed bipartisan resolutions demanding the war end. The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, power to declare war. Trump must end this war now.

I guess we're really never getting the strait opened.

It's so fun to see people bidding on or snapping up something you made/ have to offer.

JACOBS: I have one last question for you. Who won the 2020 presidential election? MARCO RUBIO: I'm not here to answer about 2020 JACOBS: It seems like you have an issue admitting facts, just like you couldn't admit the shoes the president bought you were too big RUBIO: The florsheims fit fine

Just a reminder: The Guardian entered a strategic partnership with OpenAI a little while back, so any time you see an article like this from them, you can immediately dismiss it as not credible journalism but just Sam Altman getting his money’s worth.

Good news! I want to see this some day 😍

Releasing the arrestees at Golden Hour is a gift to all the photojournalists and videographers who were soaked in pepper spray and tear gas, whose camera gear was wrecked, and whose bones cracked last week, courtesy of NJ State Police and ICE.

This is from a couple of years ago, but too good not to reshare. A+ on the alt text!

Happy Pride Month! Pauline Trigère’s c1970 evening dress is a welcoming rainbow, expansive and generous in construction for every shade and combination #museumatFIT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡 #Pride2026

🚨 BREAKING: A federal appeals court has ruled, in a 2-1 decision, that the Trump-Hegseth transgender military ban is likely unconstitutional, finding that the policy appears to be driven by a “bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group” and is “both arbitrary and based upon animus.” 1/3

I missed this bit of good news from the weekend!

ANY PERSON this age group can get a card, whether or not they’re experiencing book bans. That’s powerful for queer young folks in small towns with no libraries or libraries with limited hours or collections, too.

A lot of good books on this bundle that just went live!! Including my own A Study on Magic and Crystals!!! 📢📚📦📚

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Happy Pride! As far as I know, none of my books are on sale, but if you want a romance involving an anxious bisexual man or a museum ethics adventure with a princess lesbian and a feral knight bisexual woman, I got you. tachyonpublications.com/product/bitt... bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

The kind of journalism we need. There's a GoFund me for these youths, linked in the story.

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."
