I’d like to see Musk explain HIS work week.

just did the very first interview for my new book on radical labor history for kids, and it’s finally starting to feel real! preorders are live here :) www.simonandschuster.com/books/Fight-...

The number of articles mentioning government workers’ and institutions’ “fear of retribution from the current administration” should be enough to tell you we’re in a bad place.

Ohio. Before you complain about yet more snow, remember: THIS IS WHAT KILLS THE MOSQUITOS.

My Body: Hey! Jogging is super cheap, easy, keeps your heart healthy, & gives you lots of endorphins. Me: Sounds great! I’ll get really into jogging & it will be the only exercise I reliably enjoy. Body: Oh, also it will make you sneeze for 24 hours after. Hope that’s not a problem. Byeeeeeeeeee

A thunderstorm. In Ohio. In February. Mother Nature is clearly saying “Fuck this noise. Fuck. All. This. Noise.”

Man that sweet spot between properly caffeinated and literally vibrating with impending catastrophe seems like it gets a little smaller every day

Them: it’s not a gun crisis, it’s a mental health crisis. Also them: Puts a man in charge who wants to “target” the SSRIs that have kept me sane and functioning since I was 16, and instead offer “wellness farms.”

When I watched my first Bill Burr special in 2013, I never would have predicted that he would be my generation’s Carlin. The power of therapy.

The irony of the current admin and current Dem leadership trying to preserve the class status quo, yet causing the Pokémon-style evolution of docile libs into raging leftists. Gotta eat em all.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

As if I needed anything other than Bridgerton to have reason to love her.

“Sure, socialism and communism sound great on paper, but human greed inevitably corrupts them.” 🤡 WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU THINK IT WOULD DO TO CAPITALISM?!

I’m not saying my husband would NEVER get laid if I didn’t read Romance books…but I AM saying he gets laid way more often because I read them. He also probably owes a few key authors a nice fruit basket.

To Sugar Ray’s iconic melody: “Iiiiiiiiii just wanna die.”

Freaking Ohio SB1 trying to change DOE to Dept of Ed and Workforce. Education is not intrinsically careers or workforce. It is integral to a just & functioning society, about understanding the world & people around us. How dare they diminish education by demanding that it be tied to work & profits.

I agree with Maggie. Come at me, bros.

This is one of those things I’ve always thought and never heard anyone else complain about so I wondered if I was. I’m not alone, everyone! ALONE NOT AM I

This @thestorygraph.com review says it all

I started reading “The 5AM Club” and found it absolutely insufferable. This morning, I woke up at 5:15am out of spite.

Good on them, but he’s not exactly known for following directions or rule of law. What happens if (when) he doesn’t?

Yes, eggs are still expensive and that’s more proof that Trump is a lying sack of shit. But using that as the pithy reason he shouldn’t have written an EO banning transgender athletes from sports isn’t actually expressing support for trans people.

Please can we try anything other than the same thing that hasn’t been working? open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

On this day in 2013, an almost-4yo changed my life & the lives of those around me, as he adapted the Christmas tune: "You better watch out You better not cry the Arctic Fox is coming To eat you anyway." I hope little O knows that I sing this every time an Arctic Fox is mentioned. Every. Time.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

Still not enough MSM coverage to appear on @groundnews.bsky.social which is wild to me. #therevolutionwillnotbetelevised

Signs. Of. Life. Protest outside Treasury Dept. tonight.

Seems like a great time for this. Can the @cincylibrary.bsky.social 3D printer build me a fallout shelter?

Congressional Democrats and labor unions hammered President Trump for “vicious and vengeful and villainous attacks" on education Tuesday, as reports have also surfaced that he could soon issue an executive order that would dismantle the U.S. Education Department.

I don’t understand how no major news outlets are covering this. @npr.org ? @apnews.com ? All I can find is @theguardian.com

Happy Monday, or as I like to call it, “gaze at your beautiful children and break a little inside because you can no longer visualize what kind of future is ahead for them” day.

This is your reminder to find joy where you can. Rewatch The Princess Bride.

Tbh the highest compliment I can give a nature photographer is “That would make an amazing puzzle.”

Fucking Ohio. Every time.

Is it norovirus, or did you read the news again?

TIL the aerial yoga on a hangover is not something I’d recommend.

The world: “Write what you know.” Also some of the world: “Ugh. This book included so many LGBTQIA+ characters. Was that really necessary? Why?” … because the authors know them. And love them. And view their existence as a core part of life.

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

A reminder that not everyone has the luxury of time or resources to boycott stores or attend marches. Never assume that because they’re not resisting the way you are, they’re not resisting at all. Resistance looks different on everyone and every little bit helps.

Leaning into pessimism so I can say something *was* on my 2025 Bingo Card.

If you’re overwhelmed trying to parent during these unprecedented times, watching early Indiana Jones movies with your kids is a fun way to teach them that Nazis are bad.

“It hurts to want it all, so many things that can’t coexist within the same life.” When a romcom author sums up your mental illness in one devastating sentence. Emily Henry, “People You Meet On Vacation”
