OK but what if we consider typos in published books as proof that the books were written by humans??? No longer something to judge or despair over, but a point of pride! This is my new favourite thing.

I don't go to places like that. If I did go somewhere that requires a shade, then that's what I do. Anyone having a problem with it, can bite me (& I'm usually a very polite person). A melanoma diagnosis will do that to you! May is #MelanomaAwareness month! How about more stories on sun protection?

Why is this horrible person getting rent free housing on us? We want this to STOP. The only rent free abode she deserves is behind bars.

Trump’s slush fund is designed to steal your tax dollars & pay them to the worst of the worst, including members of the Proud Boys, violent January 6 criminals, & the president’s corrupt inner circle. newrepublic.com/post/210782/...

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

Sadly, every word is true. The American experiment is over. Killed in the middle of Fifth Avenue and no one in power blinked an eye to stop it.

Hawaiʻi just passed a new law that limits corporations' ability to engage in political campaigns. Let’s see this in other states.

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

For some reason, my spouse started sweating when I mentioned I had discovered the joys of construction glue.

This is important to turning things around. We already know in our gut, that suppressing wages, cutting education, etc... do not lead to good outcomes for the people or the economy. The old economic paradigms are false, we must adapt our thinking.

Can we maybe try a Gen X next? Right now boomers have had 6, X has had zero presidents. And we have 40 trillion in debt to show for it

As it should be. He caved to the fascists

Woody Guthrie

As it should be. Corporations are NOT people, regardless of what the Supreme Court tries to say.

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

Boycott Barnes and Noble. Loudly. Right fucking now. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Genuinely wonder what would happen if, say, 50 million Americans refused to pay their taxes because they’re being spent unconstitutionally

One of the chapters of my WIP is titled "Sandwich is Love". I did not really consider that as a book title because it doesn't convey a fantasy vibe. But it's a perfect title for that particular chapter -OR- if I was writing a cookbook (tho' the MC loves to cook and does have some magic recipes)

They could stop this. 100 Senators, 435 House Representatives, 9 SC Judges. It would only take a handful to change the tide.

It’s not that the president has some mysterious ability to “do whatever he wants” It’s that Senators are choosing not to stop him, even though they could

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

I will be writing at least one short story soon. A horror story. It will involve ants. Lots of ants. Colonizers. I didn't choose this trauma but I'm here now and someone is going to pay. #writing

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

If you're in the United States please take a moment, I just did it and it took literally a minute to complete

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This paying off j6ers shit is nothing more than Trump purchasing an army with other people's money.

I have a feeling that people are quickly going to find out after these midterms that we are not going to vote ourselves out of fascism.

So, I grew up thinking that tan skin was healthy skin. Wrong. In order to tan, there's been some solar damage. A sunburn, repeated sunburns as a child, is even greater solar damage to the skin. The cumulative effects can turn cells cancerous, especially certain skin types. #GetYourSkinCheck

Whatcha reading? and is it hitting the spot? I'm browsing The Best Punctuation Book Ever. Period. because I'm in editing mode. It's helpful. But, I will be happy to dive into either of my library holds when they're available: Martha Well's Platform Decay or Tchaikovsy's Children of Time. 📚💙

May is #Melanoma Awareness month so I'm going to share some things. It's been two years since my surgery. Mine was caught early but it was on the face, specifically, the nose. I have my skin checked every 3 months, wear the suncreen, hats and protective clothes.

FYI May is #Melanoma Awareness month. Melanoma is a very serious skin cancer, not the fake FLOTUS as so many refer to her. That joke lands flat after you or a loved one have gone through a diagnosis. Also, don't listen to RFK Jr. >Tanning beds are no good, unless you're trying to hurt your skin.

Montana, Hawaii... every state in the nation should do what it must to counter the disastrous results of Citizen United. We know that the Supreme Court cannot be trusted to halt it, since half of them have been accepting dark money "gifts".

The most accurate portrayal of the pro-Jim Crow, white nationalist Roberts Supreme Court I've seen yet.

😏

struggling to survive in the land of lechery the constant treachery compromised powers that be even closed eyes can see wanning is our liberty vile vice and trickery compromised powers that be black robed trumpery blackmailed buffoonery killing our democracy even closed eyes can see

I want this to happen, even if posthumously.

Sometimes I feel like this.

It's bad y'all. We can't let these cretins drag us backwards.

Donald Trump is trying to kill my friends. So I repeat — Trans rights are human rights.

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.
