Didn't realize that Dr. Bronner's soap was cool like that, but I'll take it

the real story behind this viral photo is even more heartbreaking than the one the public created.

1. good. fuck that guy. 2. another example of why sports betting should be abolished 3. i'm seeing a LOT of white women on IG get huffy about how "the guy doesn't even follow CC/Fever" and not the point, y'all. this escalation in racist abuse has been going for a WHILE now & needs to be dealt with.

I was always gonna boycott the Harry Potter TV series but I would urge anyone on the fence to stop engaging with the franchise as long as JKR is using her proceeds to fund her continued attacks on trans people and allies. Reheated nostalgia slop just isn’t worth it.

I know @emilyw00.bsky.social is happy right now

Made my bed and now I’m out of breath

FYI, rapist in chief still owes E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million awarded in the second defamation trial.

Watching the NatGeo documentary about Jonestown - and reliving being 13 years old in Delaware as they flew all the bodies to Dover Air Force Base

I swear to god if one more person goes "and this is why I read HP fanfiction :) I still get my Potter stories but without her!" NO! STOP IT! Even if they aren't financially supporting Rowling you are contributing to the continued existence of the franchise as a fixture of pop culture. Just STOP

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Go Fund Me for the sister who was surrounded by white supremacists on the Metro in that viral photo. If you shared the photo, consider actually making a material donation.

Surrounded by white supremacists, hailed as a hero -- and she wants to be left alone and has been abandoned by the social safety net. www.notus.org/metro/viral-...

I am only halfway through my treatment but I am thoroughly sick of this fucking IV port in my arm and the attendant gathering up of tubes anytime I want to fucking move

Nobody likes data centers, and Democratic politicians need to realize this. www.cbsnews.com/news/georgia...

So, again, reading Prairie Fires, and the blow-by-blow parallels of today's times with the Gilded Age - it really is practically identical

convincing people that computers are smart was a huge mistake. computers are exactly as stupid now as they were in 1975, they're just much faster at stupid.

I like that Emily Wilson and Mary Beard are both getting so much work in The Odyssey promotion cycle, but deep down I worry that I have a hateful rivalry and each prays on the downfall of the other.

Completely losing it at this picture of Haaland arriving back in Oslo with his souvenir from Dallas

If I send you this, just know, I’m still dealing with a lot of shit and I do not have anything figured out 😫#HOTD

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

Anyway, Wendy Carlos is still alive and that's wonderful 💜

Out of respect, if you feel you must say something nice today, please make it sarcastic.

It's not grown up or usefully diplomatic to eulogize a bootlicking, fascist goon. jfc

Writing is hard. Writing is great. Writing sucks. I love writing. I wish I could stop writing. I cannot stop writing. Please help. Please leave me alone, I have another 3 pages to get through. Please read my work. Please never perceive this garbage I've created. Respect me. Ignore me.

NBC News shared footage of a visibly shaken Sister Letty being released from ICE custody and embraced by Sister Norma Pimentel, a Catholic Charities leader. “She was very distraught and scared, and didn’t understand what was happening,” Sister Pimentel said: youtu.be/a-h-bmkaxfw?...

Reading Prairie Fires and remembering my DIY upbringing in the 1970s - my folks were from Iowa and Oklahoma. We were not well off - preachers don't make much $. Grew up sewing & baking & cooking & making a lot of my own toys. I didn't like it, but turns out these were useful skills.

70% of all ice pick lobotomies were performed on women. The benchmark of success for Dr Walter Freeman, was not the cessation of the any of the symptoms, but whether the women were docile and easy to manage.

Randomly remembered how Lindsey Graham said Rene Goodman deserved to die.

No World Cup until Tuesday, but NWSL games today: Reign v. Thorns, 4pm ET (ESPN) Summit v. Dash, 7pm ET (Victory+)

He was a fascist functionary who enabled unforgivable policies that directly led to the suffering of millions. And he did it all GLEEFULLY. He doesn’t deserve any “nice things” in life or death. The problem is that Senate Dems see him as a “colleague” instead of a traitorous enemy, which he was.

You're looking at a 200 year-old wisteria vine at Byakugou-ji Temple in Tamba, Hyogo, Japan. The delicate pink/purple blossoms create an otherworldly place where magic can happen. But here's an interesting fact: wisteria are in the legume family (Fabaceae). This is a magic beanstalk.

World Cup Final Watch Party. Central Park. 7/19. 

First 1,500 people can claim up to 4 tickets through our partnership with Global Citizen and Governor Kathy Hochul! 

If you’re not in the first 1,500, you can still enter the lottery for tickets through Wednesday.

i know you’re looking for it. here she is, girls. here she is, world

I love how we all have that food in our pantry we can’t bring ourselves to throw out but will never be like, “today’s your day to shine, 10-year-old can of white beans!”

Democratic Senators praising their friend across the aisle Lindsey Graham, pretending Mike Lee doesn’t already have draft tweets for every one of them, calling them all pedo traitors

As much as I want to stay up for this, my IV needs me to go to bed

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!

No, that's me, doing too much, I was stupid

Alexi, SHUT UP.

Tempers are HIGH

I just really hate the "in loud we trust" business - I hate loudness

It didn't work out today, but Haaland is still likely to win in November

Oh, Alexi, SHUT UP. Go away. Find a hole and crawl in it.

Harry Kane now had perfect recall and can speak flawless German.

@pressfuturist.bsky.social @kalenski.bsky.social Okay, then!

OMG, this is INSANE
