Reading this along with one other. Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, the Flesh, and L.A. by Eve Babitz #booksky

A police officer in Shelby, North Carolina, was fired Saturday after a viral video captured on a home security camera showed him wrestling a Black woman to the ground and repeatedly punching her.

I’m over the moon and so appreciative. I will cherish my inscribed book for all my days. Thank you, Mr. Dreyer. 💙 @bcdreyer.social

let's just check in an see how the end of the war is going. ah mmhmm yes this will likely resolve imminently since it has to

Took me a while to get the rhythm since the author uses commas to create a long running sentence. I read that it’s to signify the relentlessness of war. It’s been used for other books but it can be distracting. Good book but I would never want to read again. Dark and bleak if you needed more.

I love nature but that mockingbird just outside my window is naturing way too hard for 2:20AM.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

After Emily Waldorf was denied care for a life-threatening miscarriage, her mother and stepfather were outraged: “If I took my dog to a vet and it had this problem, that dog would get better treatment.”

This piece on the fundamental emptiness of AI art, and how it’s arrived at a time when we are making so much empty art anyway, is so complex, funny, and insightful. I wish more of the people mad at its existence would take the time to read it. So here’s a gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/m...

If you are able, keep telling supporters about he horror stories you read and ask them again if they are prolife.

That should be *transcribed. If I had an edit button, I’d edit in the mornin’….I’d edit in the evening all over this laaannnndddd. 🎤🎵

Sunday timeline cleanse… a friend of mine commented she would love some runner ducks and separately mentioned that she had a broody hen. So that was easily fixed with a box of eggs 😂 Chicken foster mummy is very proud! #smallholdingdream

Liked this one. Based on one of de Beauvoir’s childhood friends. You get a sense of what was expected of young girls and women in certain social circles in pre-ww2 France. Touches on how religion was wielded against women, stifling them, wiping out their individuality. It’s still a thing, btw.

God, I fucking love Beatrice Straight.

I was watching Hacks until my router went out completely. Have to get a new router.

Love the honesty.

He’s so handsome and a fabulous actor. 👑

Faulkner: "Sanctuary cities include Boston, Chicago, Denver, LA, NY, Philadelphia, SF. All of those airports handle 1,100 int'l flights per day. They're not just gonna not fly. They're gonna go to red states and cities. A boon for red states. People will just really hate living in blue states."

Watched a woman tell her cancer story. She was dismissed by a doctor for having low-normal hemoglobin. Long story short, she had endo and colonoscopy and a CT scan, but after swallowing a pill with camera they found cancer in her small intestine. She was asymptomatic. She is a nurse.

My favourite Movie of all time. A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (1946) Powell & Pressburger’s masterpiece.

Coral!!!!! I have not thought about her in a long time. Love her. 💙

5 stars. I loved this book. This is a heartfelt memoir of the difficult relationship that the author had with her father. I don’t usually cry while reading but this one almost got me. Sometimes people can’t be who we need them to be and likewise sometimes we can’t be what’s needed for them.

(BBC) Another retribution attack by Trump, again on E. Jean Carroll. Since Trump has already LOST in court to the tune of MILLIONS, you might think he would be smart enough to stop this shit. Nope, he is NOT that smart at all. I'll bet he will lose a third time. bbc.com/news/article...

We should buddy read this @tracyagnello.bsky.social I don’t really care about the Windsors but this Jimmy Donahue Woolworth fellow seems pretty wild. 🤪

Trump ordered South Carolina Republicans to redraw Jim Clyburn's district and flip the state's only Democratic seat. The Republican-controlled state Senate voted to kill the map on Tuesday. Multiple GOP senators said no. Early voting had begun. The time for spiking the football ran out.
