This is one of the best speeches ever given by Democrat Jasmine Crockett.🔥 “Some of all have been saying: Where are the Democrats? Where are the leaders? I'm here to tell you we ain't never left.” Speech is broken into three parts due to video restrictions on this platform. Please share. 1/3

Apple Podcasts told me to tell y’all that they said they love #VibeCheck and y’all better love us too. They even flew me to LA to do a cute photoshoot with @samsanders.bsky.social and @zachstafford.bsky.social.

My first review for SAL and it’s a Kirkus star!!! 🥳 “…Proudman’s debut novel is an homage to folk hero stories told through a feminist lens. The work, which is rooted in ecological justice, effectively critiques colonialism and jingoistic nationalism. A heartfelt, swashbuckling, standout novel.”

I get it, but let's not rename the gesture, which only gives more people cover to use it. This is a Nazi salute, or, if you prefer, a Hitlergruß.

Hi! I’ve hosted 3 seasons of Ben & Jerry’s podcast Into The Mix, and I never thought a brand would pay me (well!) to do the work we do and confront the issues we address. This last season was really special. AND if you ever tour the Ben & Jerry’s factory, I’m the voice that leads you into it 🥰🍦

Like so many of you, my friend @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social and I have been having a conversation about this country’s future. Now we’re turning our dialogue into a book featuring poems and essays from Marlon James, Alexander Chee, Ashley C. Ford, Chase Strangio, Imani Perry and more!

the most impactful thing I’ve heard about propaganda in the last six weeks is that its primary purpose is not to persuade you, but to bombard and clog your mind to such an extent that you can think of little else. making a point to periodically remind myself of that in the coming days.

I’ve been holding a tiny grudge against Post Malone since 2018 because he delayed Beyoncé’s Coachella performance the first weekend, but I guess if she can forgive him, so can I.

Just cried so hard over the end of The Lord of the Rings that you’d think I carried the ring to Mordor AND fought at the Black Gate for Frodo AND destroyed the Witch King of Angmar. so yeah, the Wicked press tour makes complete sense to me, actually.

my “did you know aragorn actually broke his toes when he kicked the helmet and his howl is real” is “did you know dustin hoffman’s cameo in the holiday wasn’t planned—he just happened to be near the blockbuster during filming” and I’m grateful for friends who indulge me recounting this each year

kitchen cleaning success rate when I pretend I’m the owner of a cozy little tavern: 97% KCSR when I tell myself to just buck up, be an adult, and get it done with no nonsense: not even 10% in 2025, it’s committing to the bit hours only
