Elif got married!! really thought it was Phoebe Waller-Bridge based on the one instagram photo

This from @govpritzker.illinois.gov on @cnn.com

This sentence is gross: "Displacement and the quest for a homeland are, of course, intrinsic to the intertwined fates of Israelis and Palestinians. The Holocaust and the 1948 Nakba...vie for greater weight on the sterile scales of competitive victimhood."

my team is deciding if the work we've been doing for the past four weeks should amount to nothing.

husband, during the second set: "oh I bet something will come up with him doing Art's serve" me, when they were still tied: "ohh he'll use it to tell him that they slept together" then challengers tried to build that up in slow-motion for approximately seven minutes

"It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings."

turns out that Charlie Kirk is going to have an even worse impact on the US with his death than he had with his life. Brutal

bidoun.org/articles/hou... the difference between the tone of this and the recent fact-checking article in the New Yorker is uhhhh very stark

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"

sandra oh is in twelfth night???

Read this incredibly powerful piece about the secondary trauma of navigating our cruel, absurd, profit-driven healthcare system in the aftermath of a crash. sfstandard.com/opinion/2025...

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

1) conspiratorial thinking / delusions are leading to massive institutional breakdown 2) institutional breakdown leads to more (and more justified) conspiratorial thinking thinking this b/c I read Kash Patel's comments on FBI evidence gathered after the shooting and I kind of...don't believe him

“The ship would always belong to Theseus, no matter how many parts I replaced.” - ALC on vaginoplasty okay girl go off

I liked the Ezra Klein piece obviously I do not think whatshisname was "doing politics right" but I think that's a fine way to gloss his whole thing the day after his assassination

another day of chuck schumer brainstorming how to radicalize me into violence and coming up empty

I like Will Stancil. I worry for anyone interacting with that many Nazis though.

the quotes from that IDF sniper... the fucking University of Illinois grad. I can't stop thinking about them

the first grave digger episode of bones is so good. an honor to watch it while I keep dying to this silk song boss

Fucking Moorwing.

seeing thick fetish art of hornet makes me maaaaaad. git gud; that's not what she's about!

I'm really enjoying this etsy shop, which is bringing a real 'right wingnut bumper sticker' aesthetic to the left wing bumper sticker game

gasped out loud when the bone shards in silksong started being useful

has anyone discussed depictions of childbirth in American media from a feminist angle? It's hardly ever a c-section (can't think of one), basically never under a full epidural, always in the 'stirrups' position. boooo.

sometimes I am grateful for the American national character. four years?? if someone came onto my property to mow my native garden, I would be out there in forty seconds

Paint a seascape they said, it will be cheery they said

recently when I tell people my bright-lines for leaving the country, they're like "well you better get ready"

Hate when politicians think I’m this stupid

monarch alert monarch alert monarch alert and it went right past the milkweed and to the zinnias
