Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

I'm just going to tap the old sign that says "It's About Access. The people who have the resources (time, internet, etc) to be part of the conversation are not the whole sum of the people who want to, or should be, part of the conversation" and go do my non-computer-based job.

Day 6: Danish-Swedish farm-dog. I had two ideas so decided to just do both. ☕ #doggust #doggust2025

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Hey, don't forget to celebrate your wins and joys. No matter how small. They're worth celebrating.

So....after much deliberation and encouragement from loved ones, I've put together a GoFundMe after facing several financial burdens and medical debts... Any help or sharing would really go a long way... Thank you so much. gofund.me/5bfe73dd9

This is post surgery Gilly, here to inform you that nerve blocks are good, actually.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

AI is a tool of fascism and there's no "ethical" way for it to exist without enabling that Every day I see how it's used my stance on this only becomes more and more hardline

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50. I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman. #GiftLink wapo.st/49WOdx1

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This is why it kills me a little bit every time PA politicians talk about encouraging data centers to open in my state. Fuck that, no. Data centers are neither progress, nor economic growth, nor job creators. They are a drain on the electric grid, on taxpayers, and severe polluters. Fuck. No.

How is AI *really* impacting jobs? Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an: -8% drop in all jobs postings -~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs -22% drop in journalism jobs

It’s okay if all you feel like reading is things you’ve already read and know you love. Rereading is wonderful, actually and people should do it more often.

Bracketing that they absolutely failed here. And bracketing that such a failure reflects a dearth of discipline, understanding, and acumen... They just don't got the juice, man. Absolutely sauceless leadership.

so, today I got the surgery center where I got my deviated septum fixed to send me an itemized bill so I could submit to my FSA for reimbursement my out of pocket cost: $473 what my insurance paid: $4258 what they tried to charge my insurance (not a misprint): $173692

KOBOLDS. SPACE. HOLODECK SHENANIGANS. Alright let's do thisssss!!!!

He's already making positive changes.

Come watch me be The Dreamed dog of everyone's nightmares/fantasies in The Devil's Dandy Dogs.

We are starting now and already 1/4 of the way to Val’s goal!

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

glamour uk have made trans women their ‘women of the year’. this really highlights how transphobes have lost the ‘culture war’ and are wholly reliant on bigoted politicians like @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social and wes streeting they wouldn’t do this if they were worried about it losing them readers:

There are no words for how evil this is

My Invisible Sun casting call is closing in a couple days!

It's been a half hour since the AP called it for Mamdani and already I see some people wringing their hands about how the cards are stacked against him, and to them I say, my friends, learn to enjoy a fucking moment, they didn't come around near enough, the man of the hour is partying, take the hint

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

“The story of this is not going to be the greatest thing we ever did was run this campaign. It can’t be. It’s going to be what we did after we won.” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Celebrate tonight. The work is only beginning. Let’s go!!!

I saved this a year ago and am bringing it back re: People’s Sexiest Man 2025.

The truth about editing TTRPGs is that even the best books by the most experienced designers/developers contain way more errors than you think. Not because the creators are bad at their jobs—it just reflects the truly immense complexity of our books. To catch all those takes a huge amount of work!

This is genuinely terrible news. The politics section of Teen Vogue has been a bright spot in this dark time for journalism and politics. Ty for all your work @leximcmenamin.com

There’s no longer any black women or trans people at Teen Vogue. This was a publication that listened to young voices, had progressive political views and frequently reported on things other outlets were too cowardly to touch. Disgusting example of capitulating to the regime & ruining a brand!

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

I have been trying to pay a $10 charge to the DMV for months, and they just sent me another letter telling me about it. I KNOW. I have tried to pay you THREE DIFFERENT WAYS. At this point I am ready to send it to them in pennies.

I am doing the recap today, and I wrote a poem.

Big congrats to the RFG team for raising money for an amazing cause! It was a pleasure to goblin with you all.
