Remember that care is action. It's counter to the system that doesn't want you to care & is removing social supports that provided care. If you're caring for your community members & making sure they're solid, you are fighting fascism, so give yourself credit.

Happy 74th birthday to one of my favorite drummers… the legendary Stewart Copeland🥳🎈🎉♥️ #stewartcopeland #thepolice

NEW! Republican Senators Introduce Nationwide Book Ban Companion Bill, S. 4925 This is their companion bill to HR 7616, indicating how seriously they want to ram this legislation through–and without you knowing it. bookriot.com/senate-bill-...

"So why are people acting like Supergirl is the worst movie ever made? (One critic even said it had the “worst script I can remember.”) There’s a simple answer: misogyny." Yes. I'd add that it's almost certainly coordinated misogyny, and someone is profiting from it. ew.com/supergirl-is...

Let me get this straight: John Wick gets to go on a multi-movie murder spree because someone killed his dog, but we're pissed at Supergirl for being a bitch because someone poisoned her dog? 🤔

My childhood softball team drew bigger crowds than this.

BREAKING: We just won in court — again — to protect Pennsylvanians’ right to vote by mail.

Psst: this isn't really about the Propaganda Trucks from PragerU, operating under the IMLS banner, losing a parking spot. People began to speak up about what this is, and its place at a University was totally inappropriate. (Some of the reporting is inaccurate). thereminder.com/local-news/h...

Today, ASAN celebrates Juneteenth, a commemoration of the ending of slavery. ASAN offices are closed today, but we uplift the histories of Black struggle for freedom and continue to advocate for the rights of Black autistic and disabled people today.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

How long it takes and how hard it is to undo the damage will depend in large part on the political will of the people elected to do it. If you get hand-wringing caveat peddlers who want to deliberate for years before acting it'll never happen. Plan has to be ready on day one

It was a beautiful night for baseball

You will not win if you don't cultivate joy. We survive off joy. Without it, we wither. The oppressor does not have the power to entirely steal your human joy from you.You as human have power to choose joy from your nature. White folks think, it's getting bad, time to have a sad face all the time.

Love to see someone booed lustily. Lustily: the only way to boo.

The America 250 stuff feels very pizza party after layoffs coded.

Shoutout to Fathas Omari Oricci and Arturo Miyake-Mugler 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 This is what happens when you put talent in the room as opposed to a glass ceiling

A literacy crisis means people are struggling to UNDERSTAND what they are reading, not that people can't necessarily read.

This but you can make some noise in parts of the data center because data centers these days are lively, vibrant spaces.

Just pulled some materials for a postcard collage I'm working on. Sundays are for art.

I hate it when I punch out for lunch and my Watcher is dead. 😭😭😭

Aaaah, fuck me.

AI in the arts is in a lot of ways about STEM people not getting the humanities. They think it's about input, output, according to math, & there's only one answer. That's not what critical or creative writing is. It's a very human process of letting something move through you to come out of you.

I want to buy a thing and own it. Not rent it. I don't want to pay a monthly fee to access it. I don't want it to be stored in the cloud. I have to pay a monthly fee for an app to tell me how many subscriptions I'm paying for. It's insanity. We pay memberships for things that have ads. Why?

Finding so many wonderful ND friends as an adult makes up for 99% of the NT bullying I've experienced. I still don't trust the NTs though.

Happy Pride everyone, remember to make your local homophobe and transphobe uncomfortable this month ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Also have a pretty Space Pride Flag :3

We all gay this month! You gay, & you, & she gay, & he gay, & they gay! Let’s hear it for gay!

That awkward moment when you are Pittsburgh for life but also stan Gritty.

ANY PERSON this age group can get a card, whether or not they’re experiencing book bans. That’s powerful for queer young folks in small towns with no libraries or libraries with limited hours or collections, too.

Baseball is for everyone. Happy Pride Month, Bucco fans! 🌈🖤💛

Correcting your thoughts so they don't harm you is a huge part of maintaining mental balance, it's something mad people need to employ with discipline to hold fast against mental crisis, making sure what we think about ourselves & what's happening is useful & accurate. Sane people need this too.

Publishers: “Short stories don’t sell and are impossible to market so we are not going to take the risk of publishing them.” Also publishers: “What can we publish to fit this era of reduced attention spans when people are reading fewer novels?”

So say we all.

HA! You can stop making these, we have a winner.

I am. So. EXHAUSTED. Everything went well but now I need to avoid humanity for at least 72 hours.

The line at the library coffee shop is so long I can't get my afternoon chai. This is both a champagne problem and an autism problem.

A coworker has noticed I'm wearing lipstick. Perhaps my stealth strategy has backfired. 🤔

I do have my emergency makeup kit for my brief appearance in the spotlight. But for the most part the goal is to be forgettable.

And honestly, nobody's looking at me anyway. I'm part of the furniture, nothing to see here.
