Paperback books are like velveteen rabbits — ours to be loved and squeezed and read and stuffed into shoulder bags and left in the sun and read and read again until there's nothing left but memories from something real

Veasey has RFK Jr dead to rights here, and they both know it.

I would love to see a 50-state campaign to pass free school lunch and anti-gun measures in tribute.

“How to Train Your Dragon” took flight at the box office this weekend, proving that some remakes still have teeth.

sounds like waste fraud and abuse to me

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

my mom spoke to me today and i almost threw up all over her from the anxiety she creates in me :3

you can’t look at the moon she’s mine

despite everything, palestine will one day be free

Some days it feels like our country's humiliations are endless.

the way i just sent :3 in an email to our staff accountant

i actually think things will get better if i sit here being anxious and angry about it

Good Night World

Pedro Pascal calls J.K. Rowling a “heinous loser” after she celebrated the Supreme Court’s ruling regarding trans women’s legal identities.

me: I spent hours researching something for my book friend: oh wow, that must mean it's pretty important to the story. me: friend: it's important to the story... right?

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

DOGE trying to fire 200,000 employees for no reason: GOOD 👍 elon musks personal company being subject to markets and people choosing not to support him: BAD :(

USIP owns their building. DOGE is vandalizing a building the federal government DOES NOT OWN.

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. This is a critical victory for trans rights.

oh yes, the three genders:

You heard Trump’s attorney general — if you visit a Tesla dealership, she will prosecute you. Be safe! Shop somewhere else.

Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

Meanwhile, they're banning drag shows, scrubbing pronouns from emails, criminalizing consensual adult content, and trying to erase trans people from public life, all in the name of "protecting women and children." This is what fascists do and what they have always done.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

a sign that the Woke Resurgence will happen is that there are still consequences for your actions. but right now only if you do a nazi salute. but that’s something at least

it’s going to be so cool when the tesla board gets sick of elon destroying the company and when trump tires of his nonsense and kicks him out of his whitehouse and all elon will have is 14 children that all hate him

congestion pricing and other laws encouraging cycling and public transit in general destroys incentives to buy cars and makes for profit methods of transits take the sidelines, which is ultimately all they care about. profit above all else

conservatives aren’t actually afraid of subways and public transit, they have a very specific goal. they want big cities to seem scary so that less people to move to them / leave them so they’ll move conservative states instead, and so that they can privatize public transit

Cursed photo (complimentary). From my collection, no documented date/info.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Yeah, that's exactly what this anti DEI purge is all about. Censoring minorities and expelling trans people out of public life.

finally taking my health into my own hands today and it feels so great

Money talks

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

I spent some time reading Elon’s tweets this morning (one of my least favorite activities) and it’s hard to overstate how much he and his allies have constructed an alternate reality for their audience to believe in. In their world, Elon is a superhero fighting government fraud, like fanfiction

my toxic trait is that i will try to propagate or steal seeds from any plant, fruit, or vegetable i’m given

a year ago 16-year-old Oklahoman Nex Benedict died after a bathroom beating. in the time since, we've lost more trans kids, while losing federal trans rights. how a community is holding itself together after years of living under Trump's current anti-trans policies at the state level @teenvogue.com

Sabrina Carpenter looks glamorous for Vogue Magazine.

Ariana Grande tells THR that she got tired of her ‘pop star character’ and playing Glinda healed her: “There are pieces of you and your story that are woven throughout your songwriting, but then, because of the way it travels and becomes sensationalized, it gets away from you.”
