Outside Delaney Hall today.

Aside from all the clearly prejudicial and hateful bullshit wrapped up in the proposed Adult account tag, having places where adults can contextualize their sex lives alongside their other interests is liberatory and enriches life and culture.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

thank you to everyone sharing, please keep sharing!

days into a hunger and labor strike of hundreds detained in GEO Group-run Delaney Hall, people inside report beatings, rotten food, crumbling facilities, and denied medical care. protesters and organizers outside are confronting ICE in the Newark street. talked to a few about it: @us.theguardian.com

being fat is good. I love being fat. everyone get fatter now.

heard the creator of wackey deli got cancelled for walking around his house at night naked (with no clothes on!)

Real resistance led by workers.

sorry to ask yet again but if we could get some more progress on this it would really mean a lot to me!

This is pretty shockingly evil. Wild (if not surprising) that Washington does this while maintaining that Cuba is a threat to the USA.

I think the best reason not to argue with or participate in discourses about bad takes and inane opinion articles is that they all start from some right wing billionaire funded outrage media pipeline that exists to get you to react exactly like that. Guard your time and attention from these vampires

uh oh, it's-

next month i will be back at @roomofonesownbooks.bsky.social with @astoehr.bsky.social, if you’re in town id love to see you there :)

It's time to do that thing you've been wanting to do

When 46-year-old Jim Wetmore died on the floor of an Amazon facility, @ryanjhaas.bsky.social was the sole Oregon reporter to write about that. He didn't stop there: today at @thewesternedge.bsky.social, Ryan examines the hot, stuffy, loud conditions at PDX9: www.thewesternedge.media/p/sweaty-stu...

the attitude of looking down your nose at service work because it's perceived to be "easy" because "anyone can do it" is truly one of the most crazy making things about living in this country

my buddy had a dream about "newport snows" which where like, spearmint, not menthol so i made it for him in photoshop and got carried away

“A University of Michigan researcher told the AP that Whisper created false text in 80 percent of public meeting transcripts examined.” Consider saying “no” if your doctor wants to use “AI transcription” for your appointment.

for many years, long before I ever watched breaking bad and after watching it, I have maintained that Hal is Bryan Cranston's magnum opus and the new Malcolm in the middle show proves me right

again,

she’s not gonna bum you one #maxswebsite

Please say her name The final insult is how much less visibility murdered Black and Indigenous trans women in particular get Our grief will never be good enough and is so much less than the dead deserve But please see them and remember them for a moment, especially when the media cycle doesnt

this happened about a month ago. “As we have seen with other recent situations, the media deadnamed and misgendered her. So once again her friends and family have to add making those corrections to their grieving process.” www.pghlesbian.com/2026/04/blac...

Every time I hear someone ask what writers are supposed to do instead of starting a Substack, all I can think is, my god, literally anything else. Go create something! Start a blog with your friends! Make weird stuff! Let some of it fail/succeed unexpectedly! It's 2026—you've got dozens of options!

New art should be a joyous addition to thousands of years of beauty and mastery, not a cheap, glittering lure to lead you off-trail into a tar pit.

A little curiosity and focus will open up a world stretching back centuries that will shock you with how familiar it feels, how current and relatable its concerns are. Those people were humans just like you, and what they made is every bit as exciting as anything being made now!

Capitalism lives in the eternal "now". It doesn't want you to know about history, it doesn't want you to know art has existed for tens of thousands of years, it wants you slavering for whatever's coming NEXT, whatever's HOT and NEW, and ignoring everything else. You do not have to do this.

Boyfriend? No, no that’s not my boyfriend. I’m doing sunset boulevard to this guy. Yeah it’s a whole thing.
