Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social does life ever feel like an uphill battle

This story about Zuck's illegal school contains the juicy detail that it was named after one of his chickens?

I do feel like rolling back regulatory oversight of the food system is very quickly going to illustrate why Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle.

I’ve been so deep in grief these past few months. It’s completely knocked me over in a way I didn’t know it could. Looking forward to this even though I read very little nonfiction typically.

Hot dam! (But actually, restoring rivers and ecosystems is good, actually!)

Pre-ordered!

This is a horror story from a youth residential treatment center in Ohio, woof.

this one is gonna be good, y’all

One thing I love about @prismreports.org is that they work so closely with incarcerated writers, and surface things I had never thought about before. This piece on how extended incarceration is a violation of reproductive rights by functionally serving as involuntary sterilization is fantastic.

"Grief is not over once the body is neatly disposed of, the rubble of the house has been taken away in dumpsters, the final fit on the prosthesis is done, the law is passed and withstands legal challenges, or when the permanent peace is brokered."

Given the attack on academia right now, hats off to campuses that are not just hardening for climate change, but actively including it in education and degree requirements.

This book feels very important. I’m getting copies for me and my sisters, because coping with dementia in a family member also requires a period of grieving. I welcome and embrace the new person she is, but her former self is no longer on this plane.

Russ Douthat certainly ruins the workplace

Well, I guess this is better than some alternatives, if this continues and starts disrupting holiday travel I suspect it will be a real incentive for people to call their lawmakers lol.

Zohran showed that a better and very effective way to campaign works, and I already see others picking up the torch, which gives me hope for a new generation of politicians as the dinosaurs finally age out.

This sounds really interesting

what if technology wasn't something that was done to us, but instead something that we do?

Flash warning on this absolutely stellar tribute to the woodcock @erinbiba.bsky.social I feel like I’ve entered another dimension (meep meep)

Teen Vogue was seriously committed to diverse and inclusive journalism and their disability coverage was extremely good. This is a big loss and someone better snap this column up!!

Hey @banditelli.org the moon is pretty loud tonight should I be concerned?

Oh hell yes. This is going to be GREAT

I had the honor of reading and blurbing @sesmith.lol’s book and it is as amazing as it sounds. Please consider preordering!

I loved s.e.’s writing on death before I knew them, and I was lucky enough to be able to lean on them this year when people (and yes, cats) started dropping dead around me. Do not miss this.

It's almost like trans people told you all along!!!

I think the shakeout from prop 50 is going to be interesting and complicated and I have many thoughts about it but candidly it comes down to this: I will always go tooth and claw to protect a comrade, and prop 50 isn't just about California, but the balance of Congress.

Ohhh, this cover got me right in the feels. It occurred to me after my last (eternally beloved) cat died that just about *everyone* must be walking around carrying this kind of grief inside them but not talking about it. This book seems like a step toward us all acknowledging that.

You're welcome, America.

This is an instant pre-order - @sesmith.lol is an amazing writer and thinker. Mostly I'm just mad I have to wait until the end of July 2026 to read this!

Fund direct services orgs! They really need help right now! This includes my friends at Scarleteen (donation link in my comment below).

s.e. wrote a book!!!!!!! I'm not shocked because s.e. is a fantastic writer. I'm EXCITED.

Climate change is creating its own epidemics, and I'd argue these are very preventable if we had the will and capital.

NorCal people: Does anyone know a home insurance broker who is good?

I pre-ordered this so fucking fast and you should too. If you haven't read s.e.'s stuff, they are so thoughtful and thought provoking. I've been reading them for years and I'm so excited that they have a book coming out!

Well at least SOMEONE is having a good time. But they're in for a surprise when the infrastructure they rely on such as hospitals is gone!

'I want to be able to leave with a semblance of dignity before those patriotic marchers in Trafalgar Square turn into a murderous mob, as has befallen Europe in the past.'

So uh. I've spent the last five years working on a book about grief, mourning, who is allowed to grieve and how, and where we go from here, and... you can now preorder it!

I asked you all to send me the funniest election night posts and this morning for my newsletter, I compiled them all for you! www.burnsnotice.com/the-best-ele...

So much happening that I can’t possibly go to bed what if I miss something

💀

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

@erinbiba.bsky.social a little something to celebrate this moment

As we wait for NYC to drop, a plug for @boltsmag.org: If you've enjoyed our work, our journalism at Bolts has no paywall, but it requires a lot of resources. As a nonprofit, we thrive with your support & subscriptions! Right now is the GOLDEN time to make your support multiply, here's why:

Zohran has ended his victory speech by summoning and entrapping the spirit of Andrew Cuomo in a Greater Soul Gem. The translucent former governor's mouth hangs open in a pained howl as he writhes within the jewel, but makes no sound.

Some personal news

There are more of us than there are of them.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

This rocks. Eat a dick, book banners

Man tariffs are really doing a number on fabric, eh? I was trying to figure out why all my go-to sources had seriously depleted and limited stock and uh Trump take quilt, I guess.
