PSA: It’s not an “editorial section” if the owner of the newspaper is telling you what you can or cannot editorialize.

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

"I promise, America will soon be the Cybertruck of countries—uglier than you could have imagined, built for rich chuds, borderline inoperable, and on fire."

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

I've collected accounts from trans folks inside US prisons facing Trump's brutal crackdown: trans women rounded up + placed in solitary before transfer to men's prisons; canceled medical appointments + loss of vital healthcare; vicious taunting "You're going to be a man," one guard told trans women

We can stop reading the NYT and WaPo any time and support independent journalism instead.

It’s been a tough day, but we knew this was coming. They told us their playbook months (years) ago, and nothing that happened today has deviated from that. Take a deep breath. We’ve been preparing. We’ll still be here tomorrow. I spent tonight with friends and loved ones. I hope you can too.

I’ll be real, we’re not all going to be okay the next 4 years. Especially the marginalized groups his administration is targeting. Being realistic doesn’t mean giving up, though. Finding joy is a radical act, love yourself and take care of the people around you. That’s what I’ll keep doing.

Good morning #booksky Just a friendly reminder that Audible, owned by Amazon/Bezos, supports the tech giant. Libro.fm offers an alternative, letting you buy audiobooks while supporting independent bookstores. Choose where your dollars go and align your listening with your values.

When my 12yo twins started reading less because of middle school vibes I installed the Libby app on their phones, connected it to all three NYC library systems, and bought them a subscription to Shonen Jump. They have since read hundreds of manga—HUNDREDS. Place books wherever they are.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Good news: Twitter is collapsing. And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history. There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social. If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.

Using "-ai" at the end of whatever your search prompt is, has been a godsend for weeding out shitty AI summaries full of errors (I've caught at least 3 obvious ones thus far). I'm slowly building the habit of just including it every time I search, highly recommended.
