Idk how to explain this, but suggesting that people pirate books that are Kindle-exclusive to "stick it to Bezos" is, in fact, not "sticking it to Bezos". It's just making it less likely that those authors people claim to like will ever have the financial security to leave the Kindle ecosystem 🤷‍♀️

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

The “vaccines cause autism” claim was actually two unrelated claims—one blaming the MMR vaccine, the other blaming thimerosal. Neither turned out to be true, but it’s noteworthy that anti-vaccine activists went back and forth fluidly between incompatible claims, seemingly without comment or concern

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

It's difficult not to feel existential despair right now, and I struggle to understand how we went from the most widespread peace, freedom, and prosperity the world had ever seen 25 years ago to ... this.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

Weird how letting the world’s richest man buy the world’s biggest communication hub to bend it to his political will 2 weeks before the midterms hasn’t worked out great for democracy.

When the next pandemic breaks, it will be disabled people with the skills and resources to save people, and we will still be blamed on multiple fronts for not doing enough even as we die in droves. Again. I don’t know what the word for grieving that in advance is, but I guess “sad” covers it.

Every Democrat in every abortion hostile state should be introducing legislation to compensate pregnant people who are denied abortions—not performative legislation that serves no purpose.

And then do it very very badly. To the worst of your ability. Exceed expectations in needing improvement. Everything has typos. Remove random cells in Excel files and move-up or move-left the rest. Especially for lists of names.
