There should just be comedy contests where people can submit their family group chats and win a prize for the funniest

DALLAS (AP) — Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett launches bid for U.S. Senate in Texas, looking to flip a Republican-held seat.

Glad you are running!

Not everyone who read and commented on this picked up on the child’s loneliness but those who did: it meant kind of a lot to me. www.classicalkc.org/features/202...

Those rat bastards are in Minneapolis now.

YOU GUYS! Don’t miss this new Substack by historian Matthew Warner Osborn @nighthawkog.bsky.social where he reveals the 200-year old ancient ancestor of Batman (yes, really!) in an early 19th century socialist newspaper in Philadelphia. substack.com/@matthewwarn...

“My mother practices every day for hours at a time. This is how I learn all the best curse words. She forgets I’m there, playing on the floor beside her with my soft fabric books, the cat curled up in the plush lining of her viola case.” Hope you love this! www.classicalkc.org/features/202...

🇨🇦 Canadians boycotting the United States are actually moving the needle. Las Vegas alone has taken a four-billion-dollar hit because Canadians chose not to go. The American alcohol industry is down another nine hundred million. That is real impact.

DO ADMIT that sometimes an unnecessary footnote can be an author’s way of showing off a little bit and I’m not even mad about it

I love people to take themselves a little lightly

What a lovely piece: “…I can only tell you about his voice: low and deep like a euphonium in a high-school band, sometimes speaking in italics, often pausing before answering questions…”

I’m very excited about this one!

When you’re adulty but you’re still a night owl/teen, you really need pals across the country so that you can start with the folks on the East Coast after dinner and then yack all night with your West Coast people. Hoes in different area codes, if you will.

For writers 15-21!

My father always taught me to pick up nails, bolts, anything sharp—metal—that caught a flash of sunlight in the road, just as long as I could reach it safely.

This list really stinks for my family

Why did he have to say HARVEST

Absolutely NOT harvest. “Yr open mouth awaiting my harvest,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services, had written to my then-fiancé. “Drink from me Love.”

Ok I realize the foregoing post (it seems almost criminal given the subject matter to refer to it as a “skeet”🤦🏼‍♀️) may seem random without the link: www.telos.news/p/part-2-she...

Fair to say RFK Junior is no poet and look I love a good sex-positive fellatio poem as much as the next guy so this isn’t me being a prude—this is an objection on purely grounds of CRAFT.

Hope you found a little sunbeam today☀️

Do I think the Pope looks cool here? I do. Do I think it would be cooler if he stood up for our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings and smacked around the American Bishops who voted to deny trans care in Catholic hospitals today? Yeah. I do. WAY fucking cooler.

I would like to provide a forum here for anyone who went through a prepubescent Kliban cat phase in the early to mid-1980s. How is that late-in-life ADHD diagnosis working out for you?

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Try to make your ALT TEXT a poem

I want to thank all the veterans who have served this country, but especially the transgender veterans who served and still desire to serve in spite of being treated like 2nd class citizens by the very country they defend. Thank you all for your service.

Incredibly exciting news!

I may name my next cat Jerry Mander.

This kid’s future wife or husband is going to have their work cut out for them🤣🤣🤣🤣

you guys want crime, we’re about to see some crime

A bomb is about to hit the heart of America this week. The GOP want to protect billionaires and pedophiles over our children and our health. Participated in a huge food drive yesterday. May make this a weekly thing. It's up to us to keep our communities fed.

My love language is keeping people alive

omg! "Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House... "Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Omg

The only AI that I will ever officially recognize is Allen Iverson

Did you confuse Rostropovich and Shostakovich as a kid or were you raised by normal people

Imagine how fun Truman Capote would be on Bluesky

Ok, book won’t be out until next fall, so plenty of time to design merch! Prototype Night Hawk coffee cup.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

What are you wearing to the rapture? Try to find me I’ll be in pink.

I am thrilled to announce that my book Night Hawk: A Nineteenth-Century Superhero and the Dawn of American Mass Culture is officially in production and scheduled for publication in September 2026 by @uchicagopress.bsky.social
