Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Even when there’s no accountability, the record matters. Credit to the Wikipedia editors maintaining this page.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Seems like a perfect idea to me.

Shout-out to my childhood crush on Joshua Jackson ensuring I watched D2: The Mighty Ducks on repeat and was therefore schooled on this topic alongside Emilio Estevez back in 1994

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

“may your grandkids race to change their names” is actually an incredible curse we should all start adding to our repertoire it’s gonna be true of a lot of these people

Using a photo of the guy open carrying from a completely different neighborhood in the city to represent protestors and supposedly congregants who got angry at a pastor who is working as the field director of ICE is just fucking egregious.

The problem is that the child porn website is owned by the richest man in the world, who no one wants to pick a fight with, and even less so now that he's aligned with the president of the U.S., himself a maniacal sex criminal. Nothing gets fixed without breaking the political power of big money

Not all dogs go to heaven. For example, Cerberus, Hades’ three-headed goodest boy, mostly stays around the gates of the underworld rather than entering Elysium with only the occasional trip to the overworld with Uncle Herc

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to stay up late after everyone else went to sleep so I could have some time spent Unobserved

We have lost our way. 🇺🇸 😳

Is it too late to get a refund for AP Government? Because that shit is not holding up

Hey no listen, guys, you don't understand, THIS planner is going to be the one that unlocks the potential my parents and teachers were always going on about

One must imagine Sisyphus buying a new notebook that’s going to be the one to finally change everything

I’m not interested in ChatGPT, I’m interested in chatting with GCV, Ghosts of Christmases Various so invested in the well-being of me and my community that they come visit me personally and take me on little transformational trips to ensure I’m living my best life

the last 24 hours have been nightmarish in their violence, and I just am so angry this is the world we are in and god damn it

the good that you do persists in this world

Just trying to “stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold” despite the ceaseless crush of information and experiences

"And Orpheus, of course, was told not to look back where the gods, all those souls, and his true love had been. But he did look back, and I love him for that, because it was so human.”

It’s important to show kids A Christmas Carol so that they learn early on in life that the only way people over 70 change is by being visited by 4 ghosts on Christmas Eve

The ghosts in A Christmas Carol are so under-appreciated. That is a premium service they’re giving out for free, coming to you and pointing everything you need to change. If it was real, Netflix would make a wholesome reality show called Ghost Eye for the Rich Guy and it'd run for twelve seasons

Vagueposting is annoying I know but if you’re the positive vibes of any sort sending type, I’d be grateful for any you have to spare as I wait for some health results from testing we’ve been waiting ages to get

Tbh I think most sets of siblings have one who wouldn’t even need enchanted Turkish delight to sell the others out, they’d simply have to not be getting enough attention that day

Quickly approaching the time of year when one proper snowstorm could knock the power out or keep you stuck at home for weeks. PLAN ACCORDINGLY (stock up on books)

Terrible that ‘twas doesn’t get the usage that it’s does in modern language. The apostrophe in it’s is mundane, confuses many, is a chore to use and see misused. The apostrophe in ‘twas is just a little guy, he is tipping his hat to you, he’s so excited you’re here, to share his word with you

In vain I have struggled, It will not do All I want for Christmas, unfortunately, is you

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Did you even ask the elephant if it wanted to be addressed? Can an elephant not simply exist in a room without The Man making demands of it

Amazing

What if I wanted a lovely croissant for breakfast sometimes, Zeus? A nice omelet on occasion. But no, as I am not Zeus himself or little Zeus my desires do not register and I must keep tearing away at this titan flesh - not easy to tear into, by the way!! - avoiding awkward eye contact as best I can

If I was an eagle and forced to eat the same dude’s disgusting liver every morning for eternity just because he ticked off my boss I would be incandescent with rage

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free” the library bought it. which in turn means that the community bought it. In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

squirrel: *points gun* me: what do you want me to do? squirrel: *gestures at sign* me: alright, i get it *opens book drop* squirrel: *makes hurry-up motion* me: NOT A SQUIRREL! squirrel: *disappears into book drop* me: *whispers* forgive me, keith

I'm editing an anthology about unlikable characters and seeking work from younger writers, 15-21. If you know of one such writer who might want to submit their work for consideration, please share this call for submissions: audacity.substack.com/p/acquired-t...

Their Dickensian siren song, it calls to me

Found this on quote on insta being shared by I think @tarawinequeen.bsky.social (if thats the right handle!) I definitely identify with The Creature too

When I was little and Jo saved Amy from the ice and the girls made up, I was relieved. Now, having written my own manuscript and thinking about it burning because I didn't take my little sister to the theater, I feel like Jo could've maybe left her in there a little longer

When you think about it Amy March marrying Laurie makes a lot of sense, youngest siblings are always getting hand-me-downs

"My brethren, soldiers may leap out of that statue tonight and kill me, but what’s leaping out at me right now is our total disregard for norms. What you see as an enemy threat, I see as a one-of-a-kind statue of a mare." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/sen...

Ladies please divert your efforts to ruin your own workplace for the moment, the workplace we actually need to be ruining today is Congress
