Oh um, you know what Elon could do to really escalate things right now? The single most painful thing? $30 billion gift to public university gender studies programs. Then Trump could bring back USAID and then Musk builds a giant Judith Butler statue in Palm Beach and so on; cmon fuck each other up

I do not want Gazans to be burned alive. I do not want Jewish people to be set on fire. I do not want these things for any human being. This is not a difficult position to hold or believe.

Periodic reminder:Substack profits off Nazi pages bc they don't want to be "in the censorship business,"but they also won't host adult content,so they ARE in the "censorship business." They just think Nazis are better than pornographers. This is why I will never give Substack a single shiny nickel.

Ah it would appear there is footage of police expelling everyone — including credentialed press — from the Rotunda and closing the doors while they arrested Rev. Barber and two others (I appear briefly in the end): vimeo.com/1079534787

Oh my. I picked up The River Has Roots this morning, hoping to make enough headway to honestly report in my writing class this morning that I’ve started reading a new book. Oops, I finished it. What a beautiful, tender, fierce fable. Thank you, @amalelmohtar.com, for another radiant story.

This is why we have due process; because random people speculating about things is a terrible way to run a government. Without due process, we're all just vigilantes. At its core, that's what this is about. Due process and the rule of law. Everything else is window dressing.

You all know I improbably discovered This is How You Lose the Time War at a FL airport just before the pandemic. The right time to purchase this book was late March at Giovanni’s Room in Philly, a cool queer-owned bookstore. I can’t wait to dive into the magic @amalelmohtar.com has created here!

Maybe you didn't know that Black clergy launched a 40-day boycott of Target (corresponding with Lent, but heck, this Jew can count to 40 with the best of 'em!). Or maybe you did - maybe you even started! But you forgot. IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO GET [BACK] ON BOARD ⬇️

We’re doing an “imitation exercise” in my writing class, and I’m at the point where I am questioning the choice to attempt some sort of imitation of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.” Whyyyyyy did I do this to myself?

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in
