Any of you seen Friendship yet? I found it disorienting in a wonderful way. Hilarious, but also kind of a thriller, right? I was so tense the whole time. It’s weird. You should see it.

I’m reading Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower and yes prescient but I don’t know that reading this or the Handmaid’s Tale or whatever else is the thing that’s going to show me the way through this hellscape. It makes me feel like giving up. I’m going back to Civil Rights era texts.

Great article, it highlights why we need to invest in journalism. This should not go unanswered. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/n...

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

Tomorrow - the last Saturday in April - is independent bookstore day. If you think they’re an important part of the ecosystem, then go spend some money there!

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option. Pete Hegseth should resign. Mike Waltz should resign.

Reviewing grant proposals and am overwhelmed by strategic plans updated in 2020. Statements of cultural equity w/ super specific tactics have changed our communities for the better. Some large co.s have disappointed recently, but keep your eyes on your local orgs, they’re doing beautiful things.

My daughter’s piano lessons are in the same shopping center as an Italian bakery, so each week I enjoy a new pastry in my car. I’ve told no one but you. 🥮

Warner and Hickenlooper have videos up where they say they are no's on cloture, a good sign that grassroots pressure is working; hit them with some positive reinforcement.

@kaine.senate.gov - NO on cloture & NO on CR. Virginians stand with you for no on BOTH!

if you buy used books and want to avoid amazon where possible, check out bookfinder.com you can search essentially every marketplace in one go so you can, e.g., find the same used copy for sale, from the same seller, on biblio.com or ebay instead of amazon or abe (owned by amazon)

Tonight I came home to a hero’s welcome because I picked up a box of rainbow cookies from an Italian bakery. Teenagers aren’t always complicated.

Canadian artist Howie Tsui redesigned an old pinball machine into a simulation of a musket-ball rattling around a soldier's guts for an exhibition on the War of 1812. It's meant to demonstrate the way that repetition and concentration can inure a person to the horrors of war.
