This is the first time something newsworthy has happened back home I have felt able to report. TNN continues to offer true independence for journalists like me to report what is important. If you want to support this reporting and more like it, donate here: transnewsnetwork.networkforgood.com

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

a 2018 study in the American Journal of Public Health found that between 2012-2018, police were responsible for 8% of homicides where the victim was an adult male. cops are committing a significant chunk of the murders in this country.

Kids today have lost the fine art of bullshitting a 10 page paper from a single Funk & Wagnalls entry or from reading only the CliffsNotes. 🤣

Dear European friends: If you don’t like the FIFA decision and think Trump/FIFA/USA is corrupt my suggestion is to BOYCOTT AND DIVEST FROM THIS FUCKING COUNTRY like I’ve been freaking begging you to because of our multiple HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS!!

I do want to mention that 15 Minnesota community and union members are facing federal indictment, a clear effort to punish and chill effective organizing against ICE, so I hope you'll consider contributing to their legal fund which can be found here->

Talking to a book group today and I get this question. Them: “Do you have imposter syndrome?” Me: “Not anymore. I’m good at my job and it doesn’t do any favors for the young women coming after me to play small.” Please do not underestimate how LOUD menopause will make you. 😂

Okay Bsky, you're all queer and like books, so how about a queer book for y'all every day of Pride? 1. Currently listening to Better Living Through Birding, and going to include it on my recommended reading list for Ornithology. A great memoir of being queer and Black and a bird nerd.

"Broom the soup." A lot of centrists are freaking out right now, and people are both reading too much and too little into the DSA victories, but a metaphor from my career may be helpful here. 1/?

I don’t know if he intended it to be this way, but Brian Goldstone wrote a book that every education policy person and every educator needs to read. This is why: 1) This is a book about children. They are there in nearly every scene, and every setback in their families’ quest for a home is…

Hello #writingcommunity and #poetry lovers 📚💙 The #poetrybrew this week is for the nature lovers 🕊️ “The Peace of Wild Things” by Wendell Berry

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

This pride month, if you’re not plugged in, please take a moment to think about what you specifically can do to support trans kids under attack. I get asked all the time about steps people can take, so I hope at least one person takes this to heart. I’ll be adding throughout June. A thread.🧵

I don't know about you, but I think we'd all feel a little better if we put down our phones, had some tea, disappeared into a mysterious fog that wraps around the forest, and became a wandering legend of the wildlands that folk whisper about in the dark.

🧵Are you still on Spotify, despite knowing that they've run ICE ads &/or that they pay artists scandalously little? I was too, despite knowing the latter for years, bc I couldn't begin to figure out how & where to move. Then the ads happened & I finally snapped & figured it out. Here's what I did:

Well! The Other Bennet Sister on BritBox is quite enjoyable. New episodes drop Weds, and I've seen the first 3 and like them a lot. As I wrote a couple years ago, BritBox is lowkey one of the better streamers (interface basic, shows on offer generally good!) www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Dickhead apparently said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine," but was unaware that the fine would be collected with a series of punches to his skull. Some things money can't buy. www.surfer.com/news/tourist...

My bird pin collection. Most of the ones on the bottom are mine :3 #birds #birdart

Another great place for books is standardebooks.org. They're a non-profit that takes public domain books from Gutenberg and hand reformat them into ePub files. Their collection is huge and still growing.

Look, the Republican Party is pushing white supremacist policies to destroy our ability to change the system through democratic electoral politics. So it's time to stop giving their billionaire benefactors our money. Cancel ONE THING from a billionaire today. You can do it! #CancelParty

Today is Tuesday, May 5 Good morning ❤️ eat take your meds hydrate tell your people you love them let them love you back We are here. This is real. Let's build a home for each other and fight like hell. All you fascists bound to lose ✊

A Constellation of Chronic Medical Conditions Commonly Seen in Autistic & ADHD Adults

"When my wife's beloved Kindle DX was bricked by obsolescence through no fault of her own, it gave me a frisson of excitement and anticipation to take on Darth Bezos and break open the Kindle so she could once again read her favorite books" www.zdnet.com/article/your...

Yessssss, haha, yesssss it’s here! My “Gen AI is for Losers” shirt arrived today from @wigu.org and @topa.to!

One of the biggest things the autism diagnosis gives you is the knowledge that some things really are harder for you than others and the playing field has never been even. And I KNOW that's one of the reasons so many people are suspicious of more people getting diagnosed.

Genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever seen a cultural venue post

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

Oh, it’s #portflioday again! #art #furry

Gentle reminder…

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

If you're posting tributes to Alice Wong but aren't wearing a well fitted respirator indoors when sharing air with people outside your household AND outdoors when it's crowded than I think you misunderstood the assignment. You care about others? Prove it. Wear a mask.

One of my faves

two of the hardest things ever written are "face god and walk backwards into hell" and "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" one of them came from a tumblr shitpost and the other one came from a dril tweet about hollering at zoo animals the internet truly is a magical place

OK for fun: top funniest tweet ever? I am torn between "moon's haunted" and "Denise I was at your wedding."

Here are my top 10 WORST dogs!

a society which places an undue importance almost solely upon romantic relationships misses the quiet, pleasurable sensation of falling in love with a new friend
