America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

I assumed everyone knew this was predicted to occur when they sacked 50% of the NOAA staff and started canceling weather balloons that collect data last year; but if not. 👇

My Mayor Swiftie

Women are so beautiful and amazing 🤩 😍

Pete Buttigieg having Child Protective Services called on him and not being allowed to talk unsupervised to his four year old children until they're interviewed is just about the darkest shit I can remember in politics.

“You get a finite number of miles.” is ooooof. For anyone who feels this in their soul, may I suggest: Open water swimming. When Lifelong Runners Are Forced to Quit www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/w...

Last night before the New York Liberty game, Khaila Wilcoxon (who's currently starring in Six on Broadway) sang the Star Spangled Banner. It was so beautiful, so heart-swellingly lovely, the whole crowd stood in awe. NYer's love this country. 🇺🇸 Also #WNBA games are the best. Just such happy fun.

For those who don’t follow sports and haven’t really had the opportunity to get to know Canada men’s national football team head coach Jesse Marsch, he is probably one of the few Americans who addressed the insulting “51st state” rhetoric head-on since day one. ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ 1/3 🧵

I do hope someone finds out how much we—the American people—paid to make this. And how much money they pocketed.

Happiest Anniversary to @erinbried.bsky.social who has made me smile like this for 18 (!!!) years. ❤️ 🌈 And Happy Pride NYC. Love to all. 🌈

Ossoff has it.

If you’re wondering what happened to your money: Trump just bought 850,000 fireworks, for a record-breaking 40 minute show—which is 30 too long—for an amount so high that the White House won’t say how much it costs. Literally blowing up our money up in smoke.

Once again, if you have never been to a WNBA game, I am pleading with you to go. The best vibes of any sporting event I have ever attended. The nonbinary lawyer who got presented with an award during a timeout for their work with LGBTQ kids seeking asylum got a standing ovation.

On my trip, I came upon several of these surprising signs in Westfield, NY, a very small town in the western corner of the state that leans republican by 24 points: “Say ‘No’ to Data Centers. Keep Chautauqua Clean, Quiet, & Community.” Yes @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is right.

A local news clip from the mile open-water swim I did last weekend. It was a fundraiser for a veterans group in Erie, PA. www.erienewsnow.com/news/bay-fro...

Just mind-boggling that they are still doing these stand-around press conferences while he actually sleeps. I mean, ppl can see this. It’s all so pathetic. Sad for my country.

Moomin comic speaking to my very soul.

It’s like watching your neighbor paint his deck without prepping it—in the rain. Then calling the police when it inevitably peels. Gift: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/u...

What’s up indeed

I see Mr. C is on book tour. If I were his publicist I would advise him to do less. harpers.org/archive/1941...

My great grandchild: grand papa, how did you celebrate the semiquincentennial? Me (92 years old): well, mostly by learning the chemical processes involving pool painting and the phosphate cycles of algae blooms

Obama: "As algorithms keep feeding us a steady stream of distraction and outrage, as only the loudest most extreme voices get attention, fanning our prejudices, appealing to our basest most tribal instincts, it's tempting to give in to cynicism and even despair, to stop trying."

Sophia Bush???

Big banner with a Teddy quote about courage on the Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building, headquarters of OPM. Only discrepancy is that the 26th president never said this.

New York City is the most perfectly "American" place in the nation, just one wave of newcomers after another, gradually building up the culture, one remarkable cultural collision after another. MAGA chuds hate NYC not because it's awful but because it disproves every lie they tell about immigration

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

The Knicks won their first NBA championship in more than 50 years, and the city welcomed it in true New York fashion: extravagantly. See more photos and videos of the celebrations here. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/n...

HAPPY PRIDE KNICKS IN FIVE!!! 🌈🌈🌈🏀🏀🏀

OK, I get it: The Kennedy Center operation is proof that it will be a slow and cumbersome process to remove the stain of Donald Trump. But make no mistake, democracy-loving Americans will not be deterred.

Finally read this, which was NOT FUN but I hope everyone reads it. Reminder that Democrats should keep repeating: Jeffrey Epstein--an actual monster--called Trump the worst person he knows. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/m...

If anyone who voted for Trump "because of the economy" wonders what is happening to all of your money: "We dropped $250 million of bombs on them last night." Hope that was what you wanted! 🙄

LOVE IT

For nearly 30 years - Democrats and Republicans gathered at Arlington National Cemetery to honor fallen women veterans. Trump and Hegseth canceled this year’s event. The Democratic Women’s Caucus decided to hold their own event. #Pinks

Lovely celebration of a dear old friend. His work will live on.

5th grade art show today. The kids are alright.

I SEE WOCKS (I See a Wock) This incredible remix by @johnhorstman.bsky.social to celebrate the publication of “Searching For Wocks,” out today!

Today’s training for my one-mile open water swim this summer. Getting closer to my 30-min goal time.

A song to brighten your day 🎶

For context, this is one hundred ninety-two thousand, five-year biomedical research grants. More than five years of complete funding for the entirety of the NIH for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, blindness, epilepsy, infectious diseases, etc… An entire generation of scientists.

Happy publication day to the sweetest book ever, SEARCHING FOR WOCKS, by Lucy Knisley.

Love spending 30 min trying to figure out if we can watch a basketball game on the teevee.

Look at all the bars around MSG getting shafted BY Trump's selfish photo op:

Me, home after celebrating tonight’s NY Liberty victory #wnba
