More info under the link explaining my current situation. I hate doing this, but I can't deny we need some help if anyone is able to; I know things are hard for everyone right now. Alternatively, my Venmo is @ KylieHemmert. Please share if you can 💙 www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-ass...

Thank you, Senator Warren, for always standing up for the working people. This country made a massive mistake by not electing this woman as our 46th president.

I don’t care about football, but I AM petty as hell, so today I get to bask in Jonathan Smith’s firing. It’s what traitors deserve.

I named my fists Strunk and White because if we're doing this, there will be elements of style.

LRS, that’s why I still love the library; I go in and browse poetry, I browse new fiction and new nonfiction. My entire job at the buying counter is browsing, so I am a HUGE proponent. The worst customers are the ones who come in with a vague idea of what they want and treat us like the algorithm.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Happy #SmallBusinessSaturday! Today is a great day to check out your local indie bookstore, or support one of your faves across the country by ordering from bookshop.org!

Small businesses across the country are struggling under tr*mp’s economic policies; it’s more important than ever that you support them during this holiday season. Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday; if you plan on shopping this weekend, please show some 💚 to your local indie businesses 📚 🙂

"We cannot wait. This is the time. We are the people. He is a president who should be impeached. This is our watch. We cannot wait until some other time hoping that things will get better in the meantime. No, we must convict. We must have him removed." - Rep. Al Green @algreen.house.gov

Unfortunately this just means She’s Running for the presidency in 2028.

Watching THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS is an infuriating experience. Failed, disgusting country.

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given. The same is true for everyone who swear their oath. Hope that clears things up.

And then setup separate inboxes for each, using "is:social" or "is:forums".

Many people have noted that the Primary / Social / Forums / Updates tabs are missing when you do this 👀. You can recreate these manually using the "Multiple Inbox" setup in settings. Basically, tell your inbox to include emails tagged "inbox" and exclude the social / forums / updates.

I’m howling.

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families." Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

You do not have to say illegal sentences but you can definitely think them. Think an extremely illegal sentence right now, in the privacy of your own thoughts. Bask in it. Maybe it'll happen today

Me: Publishing house: *prints unremoveable “so & so’s book club” sticker on a book cover* Me:

It’s been fun to listen to this one while watching the correctly-identified deplorables tear themselves apart. Let’s do the churches next!

“It’s hard to think in celebratory terms when I’ve written a book about a genocide.” We thank you, Omar El Alkad.

I maintain that a woman who has that careful, frozen look for thirty years has NO power, everyone knows exactly how desperate they are to hold on to their youth and how much they’ll pay for it

This absolute obsession with Dorian Greying your face is so depressing to me, generations of women passing up the opportunity to pass into their powerful crone years

None of the solo JR shows re within reasonable driving distance (POOP)

For the love of all that is holy stop using AI to produce slop making fun of Trump. It’s lame as shit and only normalized a technology that’s economically, environmentally, and intellectually destructive. It’s using fascist tools and thinking you’re fighting fascism. Stop.

Gonna need people to start being a little braver about pushing back on this shit. Every other reporter there should’ve walked out. We don’t need to hear what this pile of excrement has to say that badly.

The world is much dimmer today with the loss of Alice Wong and Todd Snider. My heart is very heavy. Gonna leave for awhile again. Hug your loved ones, and don’t put off saying what you want to say or doing what you want to do; nothing’s ever guaranteed.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Timeline is going through it tonight 🫂

What a terrible day to know how to read

well, that's (another) dealbreaker for Josh Shapiro in 2028 www.eenews.net/articles/rgg...

Send Every Billionaire To The North Pole On A Wooden Ship

Throw this whole man into the dumpster.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

this seems like a pretty good deal for $3.5M USD but then you gotta worry about constant wizard battles. every wizard and warlock is gonna come at you if you live in this tower www.fineandcountry.co.uk/tunbridge-we...

Support your local coffee houses instead, and don't give your money to Starbucks for their crap coffee-flavoured slop.

There is always another basement in hell.

GOOD. DO IT. JAIL FOR ALL OF THEM FOR 1,000 YEARS.

Some of these people are lawyers; the rest are intimately (phrasing) familiar with courtrooms and lawyers in their professional lives. They didn't put this stuff in writing because they're naive or ignorant; they did it because they have no fear of consequences. None at all.

The crisis of elite impunity that is ruining our society cannot be more clearly or convincingly demonstrated than with the fact that all of these people wrote all this stuff into an email and hit Send.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

My nuclear break-glass-in-case-of-emergency need-to-access-feelings listen is the KINK Live recording of Bruce Cockburn singing “Lovers in a Dangerous Time”

Reminder: If you use generative AI for *any of your writing tasks* you are a Slopper not a writer and should be ashamed of yourself. The end.

Newport is closer to me than Portland, so I suppose an inflatable is in my future.
