Today is the perfect day to do something nice for somebody in need. Let the billionaires take each other down while we take care of each other. 💜

So am I correct about the current state of affairs?

Rent's due today. I have no way to pay it. My long-term disability claim is in limbo, I've exhausted short-term disability pay keeping myself and neighbors afloat, and now my FSA card is being declined. Meds? I don't know. Any help would be most appreciated. My tip jar is wp.me/P680e0-2gl 🙏🏻

SR3 continues to collect important seasonal data on the endangered population of Southern Resident killer whales. This study is now in its 18th year, making it the longest study to quantitatively monitor the health of these whales. www.sealifer3.org/news/2025-sp....

I’m so excited to announce that my book was published today! The book retells the life of Charles Sumner, an abolitionist senator who co-framed the Reconstruction Amendments. I wrote this book with my blood, sweat & tears as a student at Yale Law School. (1/x)

If we're all gonna use GoFundMes to pay for things the government should be providing, then all GoFundMe contributions should be tax-deductible.

Watching tonight’s ep of #TheLibrarians. You can never go wrong with a fancy train plot line, can you?

my friend Eva’s mutual aid op is one of the most straightforwardly good places to put your money! her crew serves multiple meals per week to their neighbors in LA and do drives for clothes, hygiene supplies, and necessities like wheelchairs and mobility aids. if you have $20 to spare, send it here

Trying to read THE SEED COLLECTORS by Scarlett Thomas right now but the combo of the endorsement on the cover by a now well-known sex pest and the content of the story is icky and makes me wonder about things I don’t really want to be thinking about. Discussion welcome but keep it vague pls. 💙📚👀

Catherine Lord has worked with autistic people for 50 years. We recently spoke to her about the mendacity and danger of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s comments, and clarified the state of autism research and science. 🧪

Woodland Park Zoo has welcomed a trio of llamas and six African crested porcupines seized as part of a suspected neglect case in Oregon while that case is ongoing. Read about your zoo's role in the Wildlife Confiscation Network: bit.ly/4jmWHid

Add a letter, ruin a state Caulifornia

The Day Eleven chapter of WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE is a perfectly-crafted, heart-warming short story about cheese and love. Perhaps @scalzi.com should consider branching out into the romance genre?

in case you didn't know~ (I keep seeing people say "oh, a new book in this series, great! so I'm going to keep yelling about it, apologies to everyone who's already pre-ordered)

Really, really, really looking forward to the start of this show tomorrow! #TheLibrarians

Stereolab Day!!

Screw it. Today has been way way way too much 2025 for us to let World Goth Day go by without out a thread of recommendations. So I enlisted our resident goth Hannah to help me put this together. Put on your eyeliner now, folks. Here we go...

Healthcare is Healthcare is the new Love is Love.

honestly? the entire national media apparatus and so so many people give the GOP a pass because “they’re just like that.” but they’re freaks who live in fear of holding a town hall & making the president cranky & i think a lot more people could stand to call GOP reps daily & remind them they suck.

We are deeply saddened to share that the Elakha Alliance has lost a cherished friend 💔, Dr. Jim Estes. www.elakhaalliance.org/elakha-allia... #seaotters #seaotter #keystonespecies #drjimestes

Just a reminder: I have a free weekly newsletter. I geek out about writing, pop culture and personal shit. Recent topics: - the 18th century's coolest outcast - the main flaw in Seth Rogen's The Studio - why I took a break from trans visibility - queer art vs fascism buttondown.com/charliejane/...

Dear @repkimschrier.bsky.social , please learn a little more this time around and end your support of this horrible Act.

Brain rinse! 🌿 Take a little walk through the hala trees (Pandanus tectorius) in the #Kīpahulu District of #Haleakalā National Park on #Maui. Better now? 😌

If this video found you, take these 40 seconds to pause, breathe, and reset. Step into nature with the sound of flowing water found in Robert Irwin's Central Garden at the Getty Center. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

August is going to be amazing for genre fiction (this lovely novella plus new novels from R.F. Kuang, Charlie Jane Anders, AND Brandy Schillace!) so if you need to manage your book budget, slowly preorder all of these beauties in the months ahead! (Yes, I already ordered them all. No self control.)

Uranium: a word that brings to mind nuclear power and danger, but what if I told you, it's so much more? From glassware to uranium wine, to bombs to its role in transforming global energy, uranium has shaped our world in ways you’d never expect. #ChainReactions

A study in contrasts: T124A2 led her family on a successful harbor seal hunt today with the Anacortes Refinery in the background. If Bigg's killer whales can not just survive but thrive in an urban environment like the Salish Sea, it offers hope that one day, so too can the Southern Residents.

Baby Anna’s hummingbird has been left on a branch of the rhododendron near the window we have feeders on. I guess mama trusts us more than we thought!

I’m calling on Secretary Kennedy to resign. We are sick of it. He must go!
