National Library Week is April 6-12. What are your plans to show concrete support for public libraries? www.ala.org/conferencese...

When you make people scared to work, scared to go to the doctor, scared to leave the house, scared to report an assault, that’s when they become desperate enough to actually commit the imaginary crimes that supposedly justified the persecution.

I just want to sit down to a big, sloppy meal of steak, mashed potatoes, and charred broccoli.

People and movements are protected by those with the kind-heartedness to care, the intelligence to recognize toxicity, and the integrity to call that bullshit out. You’re fucking welcome.

People do not understand the concept of original art because they've never had an original thought in their lives.

It's fascinating that the majority of Americans are okay with water being bottled and commodified, but not original artistry-- the latter is a plentiful, free-flowing gift from Mother Earth to all living creatures to use as they please, apparently.

You're indispensable! A gift I want to feed and protect!

You have the right ideas, so embrace it. You are the teacher. They are the students. You are the mother. They are your sons and daughters. You have the right ideas, now act like it.

I personally think that it's a better use of time to share the kinds of actions that you want people to take instead of castigating them for actions you believe are either useless and detrimental.

We have to stay anchored to reality somehow. Matching delirium with delirium is a losing game.

A lot of people talk about ideology, hegemony, power etc etc but have no material analysis for how those forces operate. This is how those forces operate materially. This is how the content and boundaries of a discipline are regimented by power, and this is how academia denatures knowledge.

Institutions are not built on or out of values. Institutions are built on or out of power. Values are assigned to power ex post facto to make its operations legible and justified.

Op-Ed I Thought I Was Working At A Good Multi-Billion-Dollar University That Does Killer Robot Research For The Department Of Defense And Invites The Police To Beat Up Undergrads. But It Turned Out To Be A Bad One. By Person with Ph.D. who thinks they are very intelligent and principled

Conservatives are outraged that I’m pushing back against Trump. They should be. I won’t apologize for using our local powers to resist his fascist agenda. nypost.com/2025/03/15/u...

Look at God. People are already ON IT!

DO THE THINGS YOU KEEP SAYING OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD DO.

He doesn't give a shit except when he's out of clean underwear or freezer meals. No man who doesn't overtly hate or secretly resent his wife votes for Trump.

Some of you absolutely know who you should be mad at but instead lash out at others who you perceive as less powerful because you need to feel powerful. Why aren't you all directing your antipathy and fire at the white men in charge? [no need to answer, we know]

All Americans know how to do is make excuses for their piece of shit, racist parents and eat plastic.

The ‘can machines do creative writing’ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists

The brutal, beautiful irony of this happening after Schumer spent 18 months supporting genocide and disavowing the humanity of Palestinians, truly Homeric

Sometimes it's actually true that if you're explaining, you are losing.

You are so wrong. You need help.

Evil is boring. The kind of people who are enthralled by evil and sensationalize brutish violence are idiots. Pity the idiots who can’t get any more sophisticated than cheap fucking thrills.

You’re making sense, they’re just racist, hope that helps.

The thing about talking to idiots: apparently, they, who did not experience what you experienced, would have magically known a prioi what you now only know having gone through that experience and dealt with it with unwavering grace, strength, rationality, self-respect, and personal style.

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

Dolly Parton has released a new song called If You Hadn’t Been There as a tribute to her late husband, Carl Dean. “If you hadn’t been there / Well, who would I be?” [youtube.com]

Smother some dude with affection he clearly doesn’t want either because you’re either too clueless to see how he feels about you or too creepy to care, then perform victimhood publicly when he rejects you. You’re just as toxic and creepy and entitled as the men you hate. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2CwfGRv/

It’s funny that JK Rowling is so transphobic, but the entirety of Harry Potter is her attempt to transform herself into the son her parents wanted.

Jesus Christ, yeah, no shit. He’s a manipulative narcissistic rapist. It’s dangerous, but it’s not interesting!

WE GOT THIS! Starts NOW - through the 14th. Don’t touch Amazon or anything Jeff Bezos owns.

If Sean Baker really cared about and was grateful to the sex worker community, wouldn’t be support sex workers telling their stories on their terms, rather than stealing their stories and telling them on his terms?

You don’t have to wait until men “get everything they want” to find out how they feel about you. A man who throws his gum at a woman or demands a child from her publicly is doing much worse in private, with or without an Oscar.
