opened this and it was just a Bluesky invite code and a pack of Parliaments???

I do not want to be here

this Adrienne Rich poem from the @yalereview.bsky.social archives sucker punched me this am

For a piece I'm working on reporting, if you're studying library science or are working in a library (especially if you're earlyish in your career), I'd love to speak about what you're hearing & experiencing right now. You can be anonymous. [email protected] or Signal rstauff.20

Please for the love of God give your money to the @texasobserver.org so that they can give the money to me to keep investigating bad people. You can even say you'd like your donation to support my work specifically. texasobserver.fundjournalism.org/donate/

Every day i go online to yell at newspaper

Not even at all paranoid

Where are all the Dem consultants who supposedly do "comms" work at? Where's the website put together with succinct talking points, one pagers, posters that folks can easily download, print and pass out in their communities? Why aren't they doing this work PRO-BONO?

Union Square rally.

Happy Presidents Day

I think I'm just about there myself, a totally normie dem voter

If the Democrats can't demonstrate that the power of the state can be used to rein in people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump there's really no reason to ever vote for them again.

Happy President's Day from Union Square in NYC, which is filled with protesters preparing for a march down Broadway This picture is a fraction of the people in the park, and many people have already started marching It's a beautiful day. Let's do this 🧵

Absolutely can’t wait for the robust and rapid defence of our industry by our high six figure-earning senior management, as they bravely and preemptively push back against US-style anti intellectual fascism!

Wait should everyone stop flying now? I'm serious

It is very hard for me to imagine a national political party succeeding in 2025 if it organizes itself to such an absurd degree around the guidance of consultants and consultant-minded people. www.offmessage.net/p/out-with-t...

The fact that the consultant class could "happen to" some of the most powerful politicians in the country is indictment enough

😘 @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social 🫶 @schumer.senate.gov I have no reason not to believe this is a verbatim quote!

if Hoffman's a pirate and you see Neverland: Hook, by Spielberg (broadly panned) if the pirate is Hopper and you see land never: Waterworld, Costner's troubled endeavor

(making small talk with someone i don't know at a christmas party) so,

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that: 1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly 2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Star Trek Deep Space Nine baseball card of Odo having sex for the first time

If I hear ONE MORE fucking justification for not fighting that goes like "Look, Trump wants us to fight this so he can be even worse. If we don't fight we are fighting harder," I will lose it.

that's happening whether you guys fight in solidarity for press freedoms or not, so why not just do the right and ethical thing

happy valentines day

oh damn they confirmed jigsaw? i missed the hearings.

Who what when where why not be our Valentine? Send these to someone you’re headline over heels for. 💌

Not exaggerating when I say that the path back is going to be built on people in positions of influence regaining their sense of self-respect. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...
