Day 12: Blending memoir, travelogue, and historical analysis, Imani Perry examines how the South has shaped the nation and the Black experience in profound ways. South to America is a beautifully written and thought-provoking meditation on identity, memory, and legacy.

Deb Haaland made it official. She's running for governor.

I’d just like to shout out humans for at least seeing through NFTs as the most idiotic idea possible.

A smol creature who likes to stamp her little feet on me.

Be yourself! Not like that. Speak up! Not like that. Relax! Not like that. Advocate for yourself! Not like that. Meet your needs! Not like that. Find what works for you! Not like that. Being different is awesome! Not like that. Find your passions! Not like that. Take care of yourself! Not like that.

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #WomenInScienceDay: https://scim.ag/4hOUuvx

hey, just for the record, if your feminism sees men as an irredeemable evil, it's defeatist in nature and promises no solutions to the problem of patriarchy

Like, that post aside. I'm so tired of the "har har price of eggs" thing because eggs are extremely important to poor ppl & ppl with tight budgets. They're a cheap and easy-to-cook source of protein and calories and they're in a lot of dishes!! Bird flu is serious. Grocery economy shit is serious.

A WELL-FED WARRIOR IS A LETHAL WARRIOR.

This *will be* the testing grounds of implementing such sweeping bans across public schools nationwide.

you can set your watch by it lol, feels like people are forever coming back around to this angle whenever a term like 'romantasy' gets coined. they're just unstoppable. women have been writing SFF as far back as the concept begins, this cannot be a surprise. it's not new. even 'romantasy' isn't new

We’ve all been doing our best to be resilient, to stay diligent, to persevere in the face of this prolific malfeasance—but damn it all, our emotional and physical systems weren’t built to carry this kind of prolonged trauma. open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

have you considered watching my full comedy special This is the Last Goldfish That I Am Going to Eat For You on youtube? because it is available #standupcomedy #autism #thexfiles

One of my favorite things to be accused of is doing stuff “for attention” Bro, I’ve got a naturally 85 decibel speaking voice, and huge naturals. I’ve never had to beg for attention.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #276: No-one in your story needs to be there as a representative of their community, their race, their disability or their beliefs. Everyone is unique. Everyone serves the story. Diversity is part of the world. Anyone can be a main character.

Favorite Ghibli movie?

"[E]ven if you think you’re in a “good,” “safe,” “blue” state when it comes to book censorship, you aren’t. You need to be [...] putting as much time and energy into protecting your public institutions of democracy as those in “bad,” “unsafe,” “red” states have been for the last half-decade."

“The prohibited list also includes a bundle of instructional materials created for sixth-graders for Black History Month and a biography about Albert Cashier, a transgender man who served in the Union Army during the Civil War.” Gift link: wapo.st/3WRYF1H

🚨BIG SCOOP: Musk’s DOGE Teen Was Fired By Cybersecurity Firm for Leaking Company Secrets Edward Coristine posted online that he had retained access to the firm’s servers. Now he has access to sensitive government information. 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“Citizenship by birth is an unequivocal Constitutional right. It is one of the precious principles that makes the Inited States the great nation that it is. The President cannot change, limit, or qualify this Constitutional right via an executive order.” - Judge John Coughenour today.

The US has suspended the transfer of $400 million designated for humanitarian and food aid in the Gaza Strip, according to a senior official 👇

I suppose the task force created by this EO will start by investigating the Vice President’s statements attacking Catholic bishops, the leader of DOGE accusing Lutheran Family Services of money laundering, ICE raids on churches … so much work already on anti-Christian bias from this administration.

This is important. “Disappearing” migrants is the stuff of nightmares and we must not forget them.

YOU MUST TOUCH SOMETHING SOFT TO HAVE STRENGTH TO GRIND YOUR ENEMIES' BONES TO DUST.

Good to see: Unions representing USAID workers are suing Trump, Rubio and the State Department, seeking a halt to the mass removals of USAID workers, which appears to be unlawful in multiple ways and is already having terrible humanitarian consequences around the world:

People care. People are fighting. Please don't think that no one cares. Please fight back where you can. Maybe you can't march. Call your reps. Reach out to local orgs to volunteer, or donate what you have. Build ties in your community. There is something you are good at. Use it to fight for good.

No, fucking stop this bullshit ableist response. Digital access is crucial. It's not OPTIONAL. You're missing the point.

Guys, really really really really start wearing masks again. With an information blackout, by the time we find out it’s jumped to human to human contact, it may be too late.

BREAKING: we just blocked Musk & Trump out of the Treasury systems! Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

Otterly in love 💕

Putin and Xi will be grateful for the phrase “disrupting a tired diplomatic paradigm.” Not equating today and 30s/40s, but we need a Klemperer to record and understand shifts in language.
