Ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to watch the yuan destroy the petrodollar

AHHHH 😭

Over at the newsletter I wrote about the unholy scourge that is "CEO said a thing!" journalism:

It’s infuriating there are people who want to donate to a billionaire to so he can build a free hotel but also those people fucking deserve it and I hate sharing a planet with them.

In researching various birds for the novel, I found this quote about young kingfishers that I am quite fond of.

so cool that so many landlords are now using AI to determine if you are a good tenant a landlord told me “it’s good, this way i don’t need to know any of your business, it just gives me a score!” cool so now since I have a credit score under 700 i don’t get a house

waiting for the sell off of US military assets for personal profit that seems a likely endgame of this whole thing. billionaires getting bargain basement nukes and aircraft carriers for megayachts.

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

The sex panic about Houston is interesting. We are deep in the epidemiological now. Someone call our resident medical anthropologist, @ethnography911.bsky.social!

Russia: it’s not a war, it’s a special military operation! USA: it’s not a war, it’s a supply chain challenge!

couldn't come up with better PR for transgenders than "underground transgender mafia successfully heisted 12 tonnes of Kitkats"

“charm offensive” Kenyan media loves to use this description. Is it used elsewhere?

charm offensive is love bombing, but in politics

- there are like thousands and thousands of (new) US troops in the Middle East - there are threats to close another important strait - there are worldwide soon to be increasing shortages of diesel and fertiliser - Iran is still (rightfully) big mad How is this going to be "normal" soon?

police lie, and have no duty to protect you

The only reason I'd date an older man is because they go to sleep early so I can cheat

Things are so fucked the war is being painted as a supply chain challenge Everything is an investment to someone

Crime in the United States has dropped immensely in the last 35 years

Israel has lost mainstream French media, but that same media is also fanning flames for France to get into the war on Iran Abeg

Saw a black cybertruck in a parking lot today, absolutely piebald with birdshit, and there has to be a story there, even if it's just a bunch of crows with good taste.

When did Spring Break become a moral panic about Houston?

What will ultimately end the universe won’t be AI or even YouTube’s daily battle with AdBlock, but rather The Millennial Humor Department This is the only true religion left

For all those meeting the moment, as best you can, thank you.

Paused MAD MEN while Ted Chaough’s partner was in the hospital and the HBO Max interstitial ad made it look like his dying wish was for a Whopper.

House music is like cilantro either it tastes like soap to you or you want to add it to everything

well, well, well, if it ain’t the number one Class Enemy

Make sure to rotate your pronouns periodically, so that if your gender becomes compromised, attackers can only access it for a short period of time.

and I keep going back to the Toni Morrison of it all Most of this is a distraction from doing the work I am too ACTUALLY good at this to believe that we need one sainted voice and guide EVEN IF IT IS ME and most of this is about avoiding that reality so WE can do REAL work

All Gold Everything - Trinidad James A Negro Spiritual.

Look how aggressively we are sanitizing Kushner's conflicts. The NYT described Kushner as "having business interests" in the Middle East. KUSHNER IS BEING DIRECTLY PAID TENS OF MILLIONS ANNUALLY BY MIDDLE EASTERN GOVERNMENTS

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

If you're engaged in organizing that needs more people to join, share those opportunities in every way you can. Invite people to join in. Keep making the invitations because most people don't join the first time you ask. For every 10 people you invite, you might get one person who will take it up.

It’s Saturday evening and I’m falling in love with corporate feminism And I don’t have an emergency contact (I’m not kidding)

The timeline we’re all on in this planet sucks AND it seems the only thing we were offered to cope with it is kittens I’m sure of it No ifs or buts

I miss these babies

You might personally dislike the guy, but I haven’t heard anything racist from Charlie Kirk in a minute 🤷🏿‍♀️

posting AI images of a no kings protest circle of hell

This was spotted in MONTCLAIR NEW JERSEY

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a strange insult because you’re admitting Trump deranges people, and I don’t know any good, ethical, loving person who deranges people It’s almost as if the real insult is that you’re openly supporting the Spawn of Satan but you don’t want people to acknowledge that

From my kid’s markers to god’s eyes

The Zohran moment is interesting. I wish people would listen to activists. When someone with some goodwill is elected, that’s when there’s more work to do. It ain’t time to rest and keep score, because the score doesn’t last till the next election. It’s time to keep momentum!

I hate private equity so much. And then now there’s private credit, which I hate as well

When private equity takes over a care home, deaths at the home rise by an average of 11%. When the private equity company is leveraged more than 75% in debt, the deaths double www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Dear Iran, I’m an honorary Black American. I want my name on the safe list

People on Instagram are saying Iran has said Black Americans are safe from their attacks, y’all I want to see the memo so bad, unless it was grapevined because Persians be having a grapevine, too—not errbody does

Well, I'm all done with the internet today. I'll be in bed crying. TTYL.
