Hmm. No new duck boots for me.

A Complete List of the President's Positive Qualities:

Sometimes I search Bluesky like this: "#kidlitartpostcard since:2025-10-01 until:2025-11-01" to find #kidlitartpostcard posts from October when I'm looking for someone to illustrate new Halloween picture books. It's a good idea to post samples that align with each month's dominant holiday.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

and you may find yourself reading everything you wrote in your notes app at 4am and you may tell yourself this is not my beautiful story

@merriam-webster.com please educate us on the different between a gauntlet and a gantlet. So tired of seeing “running a gauntlet”…

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

GUYS GUYS MY BROTHER MADE ME THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL BUSTS

And for World AIDS Day today, I’m reposting this important, sensitive, and profound essay. We all had, and have, our lists of love.

Sexual Health vaccines I recommend for the queer community . #gay #bi #queer #trans

Hey conference-organizers (sorry for addressing you in one of your professional capacities on a holiday). I posted this 5 days ago, and 65 artists have already applied. Many of them are PSYCHED, and many of them are extremely qualified. There's HUGE interest from artists in working w/scientists.

Congratulations!

Updating my LEGO White House

You’d think historians and archaeologists would have liked the opportunity to at least oversee the #illegal demolition of the East Wing. Just saying.

In what way does the large turnout at the No Kings protests help move the needle? My husband & teenager attended a rally in Northern Virginia. My Marine Corps husband led some of the chants!

worst reboot of the Abbey Road cover, ever

since Kennedy Center is no more, lemme bring back a magical moment that happened there

I think so, yes. The biggest thing about protesting en mass like we are is that it reminds people that we aren’t 1939 Germany. There’s a large, organized social and political resistance to this regime, and the message is clear: We aren’t going to sleepwalk into a dictatorship.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

1. Call your reps about Trump's violation of the War Powers Act 2. Demand Congress haul Hegseth etc. in for hearings/briefings on justification 3. Demand to know why the Gang of Eight was not kept in the loop. Do it NOW.

Lemme know!

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Prairie dogs are the Paul Reveres of the Great Plains: They bark to alert neighbors to the presence of predators, with separate calls for dangers coming by land or by air.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

More of this energy, please! Thank you, Rep. Glenn Ivey.

Stop the @bsky.app bashing. We’re all under a tremendous strain. We’re not perfect. I block when I need to, but ignore most foolishness. Don’t become goaded into leaving a platform that’s doing almost all the right things. To organize for 2026, we need to stay in communication w/each other.

It IS cool though to have a means to transporting those two books around with him until he finishes coloring them.

move to make “ozowned“ a verb, all in favor

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

If we stop calling these “grants” and start calling them “contracts,” it’s clearer to people why this is such an abuse of power. This wasn’t a bunch of gifts. This was a bunch of binding contracts between researchers and the US govt for specific agreed upon projects.

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

“sidesteps laws”? no motherfuckers he BROKE laws, words mean things

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

I keep waiting for media to realize they will have a huge audience if they actually share the truth.

This is HUGE. For those wondering why due process is essential for EVERYONE. This is why!

The U.S. won’t achieve true greatness until it admits it never had it. Slavery, genocide, segregation, internment camps, this isn’t a golden age, it’s a wound we’ve never treated. If greatness is the goal, justice must be the path.
