A pop up box on Tylenol dot com

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

They are literally canceling culture

One year ago today, @keiralekseii.bsky.social sent my little pirate book out on submission. Just 7 hours later, @featherfully.bsky.social replied to that email to let us know she was offering on it. And in just 9 months, A PRINCE AMONG PIRATES will be on shelves! www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

Here, fixed it.

From @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social: “If you’re under 65 and not high risk, the window to get a Covid-19 vaccine is right now—before the FDA label changes (possibly this Friday). Once it happens, access will be limited immediately.”

Adding: Everyone deserves medical care, food, shelter, education. (Abortions, vaccines, gender-affirming care, etc are all medical care.)

“Are you okay?” No? Yes? In a manner of speaking? Amid The Horrors, we’re all just doing the best we can.

American adults have such a pervasive culture of demanding obedience from children, and that will always be antithetical to art.

Hello it's Bagel #DailyDoggo

I wrote about the role of literature (as an author and a lit prof) in these hard times. #writingcommunity substack.com/home/post/p-...

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

I think this is the most horrifying post I have ever read.

"The reason people of evil try to smother any point of light is because they know that in a field of darkness, light becomes something undeniable and unignorable; a point of reference and a point of distinction. Dark needs perfect darkness to be perfectly dark. So I ask myself: what light can I be?"

Publish it again. Every journalist who has published Epstein stuff before should just publish it again.

I didn't do it, but I wish I had.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Please believe me when I tell you: Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now. You are going to need it. And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing. The thing that sustains and nourishes you. That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others. More present. More:

Dissent is patriotic. We have a right to disagree and dissent with those in power and demand a better world.

I JUST CALLED MY HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE TO LET EM KNOW I OPPOSE THE "One Big Beautiful Bill Act". Steps: 1. Went to 5calls.org 2. Picked a topic I cared about 3. Entered where I live and BOOM I get a script and phone number to call. DASSIT! YOUR TURN!!!!

I'm seeing reports of an estimated 11M people out in the streets today. It's historically true that when 3.5% of the population peacefully mobilizes against a tyrannical govt (consistently), the govt can't stay up. 3.5% of the US current population is 11.97M. We gotta keep it up!

In 2017, I wrote an article on @electricliterature.com about the 10 novels agents have seen a billion times and it became one of their most read posts. Today, I updated it, now with a softer edge these times call for. electricliterature.com/10-novels-ag...
