I was thinking of this as some sort of “biblio-therapy” 💜 🛁

Looked on a map and this is like if I was thrilled to go from Albany/Berkeley to visit…Hayward. Like, I wouldn’t even get out of the Bay Area lol. 🛁

Omg this is great for a million reasons but I especially love the little “Stay Hydrated” message at the end.

If a Croque Madame talked to another Croque Madame about anything other than a Croque Monsieur Would they have passed the Béchamel test?

Oh nooooo! The beer that was ok I guess and fun to say is gone 😞

Public goods, held in common, distributed to everyone is good.

trans people deserve to live, freely and openly and safely and unconditionally

I ORDER MY COFFEE BLACK. NO SUGAR. NO MILK. NO WATER. NO CUP. THEY HAND ME THE BEANS. I EAT THEM IN THE PARKING LOT LIKE A HORSE. THE BARISTAS HAVE STOPPED CHARGING ME. I HAVE NOT SLEPT SINCE TUESDAY. I CAN HEAR THE WIFI

Bobby and Shelly from Twin Peaks are television's most inspiring couple. They prove that no matter what terrible things you've done or have been done to you, you can still just be a big dumb slut and be basically happy and fine

Reposting here 🐋 just because we had such a spirited discussion of muppet Moby Dick.

I imagine it’s hard for him to be mentally up for an entire news cycle that’s just pictures of her next to pictures of him

Some fields die before women ever get a real shot, fields such as arts journalism and late night television.

Uh, diapers actually are pretty expensive, same with formula, we should probably subsidize those. Hell, just have the government provide them. Like buy one fewer F35 or something.

THERE IS A GOD AND SHE LOVES ME

There are approximately 2.8 million trans people in the US. That means FOURTEEN PERCENT of American trans people have moved across state lines in the past 18 months.

H/t to the photo editor though for using the CUTEST FUCKING BABY for this story. LOOK AT THIS BABY!

Pllleeeeeeease let this not suck!! #bsbookclub Do we read this in the fall? www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL6y...

Scrolling through this feed and am embarrassed for anyone working at @washingtonpost.com still trying to be serious cuz this is garbage.

No one ever had to yell “adapt or die” to get me to use any other bit of technology in my life.

From The Year Four 🛁

Do we have a playlist? “Once so much to each other! Now nothing!” 🛁 youtu.be/c1sIRAySnQU?...

Gonna start referring to everything that happened in 2006 as “in the year six”. I prefer this to the aughts. 🛁

It’s almost like politics is going to have to happen elsewhere.

Omg yes lol. I’ve taken to telling people “Well heroin is here, in the world, that doesn’t mean I’m teaching kids to shoot up in class” and am enjoying sounding like a determined curmudgeon but this is funnier.

Throw the Chromebooks and iPads into the sea. Into. The. Sea.

My first thought: Moby dick is about capitalism, fundamentally: this obsessive pursuit of profit. The Pequod does produce something. In Persuasion the wealth comes from, essentially, thievery, looting and plunder. 🛁🐋

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

In a better world this would be the front page news. Can we do this please?

Encouraging.

I did wonder while reading this like, ok but what did the parents do that their kid ended up THIS SHITTY like I’m sorry but I’m judging the Musgroves just a bit here. 🛁

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

Really wish some person or org could make 17-year-old 5-star football recruits understand the potential political power they hold by simply refusing to go play In states that disenfranchise black voters.

The Pike’s Peak Humane Society has a social media manager who is very good at their job

You gone ban the ssri but NOT the guns???? That’s a choice

Happy John Brown’s Birthday to all who celebrate.

Have a goofy dog pic (I’m the goofy one). This is one of my former furry regulars, Sprout, who I ran into the other day. He used to be my “bar boyfriend” cuz no one else was so affectionate 💜 Poor little dude is 14 and on his last legs and I’m so glad I got to give him some cuddles.

brb gonna learn this choreography so i can start my every day like this.

Saw Hedwig, knowing nothing, in a now defunct theater near the Berkeley campus when it premiered. Packed. Like, bored college student weekend night in the 90's packed. The bouncing wig comes on and with no hesitation - none, at all - the *entire* audience joins in. Nothing like it since.

Lord help me I'm nostalgic about my 30s...

I wish for good things for all of us I wanna eat dinner tonight too / get groceries for hotel fridge , that would rock
