(tenderly) hell yea

the sky in philly is a very precise shade of "so we live inside a godspeed you! black emperor song now" yellow

So I'm starting a podcast about friendship and aesthetic experience called "Some Marvelous Experience." I've posted a brief teaser that explains a little bit about the main idea and will drop the first episode soon. Please subscribe and help me spread the word! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

No, this seems fine www.wsj.com/opinion/why-...

occasionally i wonder if i'm equipped for a medium besides poetry, but the truth is the Universe bequeathed me with an insistent attunement to the minutiae of existence & a desire to render that in language, zero practical skills & even less interest in obtaining them, & the attention span of a gnat

As part of Meta’s Muse Image model rollout, Instagram users with public accounts need to opt out to block AI generations of their content. www.wired.com/story/meta-n...

every job i see these days is like: LEAD CONTENT ANALYST, Puppy Killing Factory (remote). $350,000 - $500,000. You will edit our internal newsletter (circulation 500). Associate Editor, Nonprofits, Global Good Magazine (in office, NYC). $27,000 - $28,000. Lead ALL of our fundraising efforts!

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

250 years in, i do feel moved to say that america is definitely a place

The Prairieland cartoonist/zinester who got 30 years for making a zine. Still short of the goal for funding his fight against this total travesty of justice. A gullible rural jury brainwashed by rightwing media, and the most fascist judge in the country. Donate & push this over the finish line.

This is what the moderates got us.

went on a pigeon walking tour yesterday (you do what you want with your free time) & learned many great things, namely that pigeons have a mysterious sense called magnetoreception that enables them to perceive the earth’s magnetic fields. also, i saw BABY pigeons

How to Opt Out of Google Search’s New AI Data Training Feature

I like how one mayor collecting a tiny bit of revenue from the obscenely wealthy and using it to fund public services has mainstream Democrats freaking out like Beaker after starting a fire on the Muppet Show

i have no readings coming up, so switching to promoting my partner's things, which are arguably more fun.... pissed jeans at the spruce street harbor park for freeee next week 🌳: dice.fm/event/oe73xa...

We are in the midst of a new Red Scare in case you weren't paying attention. Not coincidentally as more leftist politicians are rising.

If you only read one article today about Prairieland, read this one.

keep giggling at these posters around the city about the world cup halftime show with madonna, shakira, & BTS "curated" by chris martin...... yea totally this burger & fries was "curated" by the ceo of mcdonalds

“LET FREEDOM RING is closed until further notice” is a little too on-the-nose

the part of me that wants to be disgusted by this particular thing is overridden by the part of me that knows this is actually an accurate representation of american culture & values

Finally found the economy graph those annoying guys wont shut up about

this absolute nightmare blunt rotation of investors (maybe that’s redundant?) includes Rupi Kaur lmao

Recency bias: Every single story on the post office’s woes should include a paragraph explaining that no one thought it needed to break even until Reagan came along. It’s a public service. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

the way that autocorrect has just stopped workinf on iphone is so gorgeous. i feel set free

the Way in Which i got so excited that a hot dog situation is happening in my neighborhood ….. & then realized it was a fancy dog daycare

Mikie Sherrill’s state police destroyed the mutual aid tent for families of the detained that had been in operation at Delaney Hall for more than a year, providing clothes, food, even stuffies for the kids. They just trashed it. I’m pretty speechless at the kind of person you have to be to do this

NEW — I wrote about my visit to Delaney Hall, the ICE facility in Newark, NJ where detainees are on a hunger and labor strike in protest of rotten food, unpaid work, and unjust detainment, and where protesters outside have spent the last week drawing ICE's ire while keeping strikers' demands alive.

love getting together with the girlies to gab about our hopes & dreams, our sorrows, how hallucinated word salads are emitted by venture capital-backed plagiarism slop machines that accelerate the decimation of the one habitable planet we know about but we’re supposed to be into it for some reason 💁🏼‍♀️

I am fascinated by America's humiliation ritual. This is really it.

i have a structured settlement but i need cash ass or grass now

we’re all trying to find the guys who can do literally anything about any of this

a dear friend here in Philly is organizing support for Waseem, a 24 y/o in 🇵🇸 who is trying to keep his multigenerational household of 12 family members alive. please boost widely & donate if you're able!! www.gofundme.com/f/hope-and-h...

apropos of nothing, thinking about the poetry of a specific russian phrase for going mushroom foraging— тихая охота, which translates to 'silent hunt'
