Also, it's not the books that are the problem here. Have at the books. It's that the store specifically doesn't want to give money to a person/organization doing aggressive anti-trans work.

Preemptively, because there's always one: people should be able to buy any book they want, including Harry Potter. And you can. Easily. But a store can choose not to stock books when the author clearly states that profits from sales are going to a hate group, as in this case.

She looks like she's trapped in a collar bomb from Etsy.

Me, all day yesterday to my kids: it's hot commie summer lmao and everyone wants merch 15, this morning: oh btw I made this last night

SO THIRSTY.

Today! There's an election in New York and a war in the Middle East and it's hot everywhere but hey at least @maureenjohnsonbooks.com and @dansinker.com are around to hash it all out. Or something. sayswhopodcast.com/episodes/fiv...

I've always found the idea of the baby box so beautiful and sensible. Here's the Finnish one. Everyone gets one after delivering a baby, full of supplies. The box itself has a mattress and serves as a bed for the baby: www.kela.fi/maternitypac...

The amount of genuine amazement that the Democratic old guard is feeling right now must be astonishing. Because they really, truly don't seem to know that making a strong push for Doing Things and Helping People is...not only what people want, but THEIR ACTUAL JOB.

Primary every Democrat who is not meeting this moment. Get rid of them all.

Cuomo is feeling deflated tonight. It's our job to make sure he deflates until he is fully flat. Then we can tape him to the underside of a frisbee and throw him into an active tire fire.

Tonight I'm texting Nancy Pelosi and asking HER for $5

Nothing has endeared Brad Lander to me like seeing him regularly trash talk Andrew Cuomo bitterly into a hot mic

Look, just because we beat Cuomo tonight doesn't mean this is time to stop punching him in the junk.

I need a syringe to inject this into my veins.

Did we...did we do it?

The person in front of me had specifically registered by the deadline to be prepared to vote today. His name was not registered. He had to step to the side to fill out an affidavit ballot. They had been seeing it all morning.

WE LOST BIG BALLS.

oh no

*hotness intensifies*

Got my I Voted sticker. Didn't rank the hell out of Cuomo. Ranked Zohran number one. Not the worst start to a day in 2025 but it is only 10:30.

New Yorkers going out in 700 degree heat out of their sheer hate of Cuomo and this once in a lifetime chance of getting a non-clown mayor.

Gotta go not rank Cuomo. *puts on hat*

This is great stuff. Walking Manhattan MAKES SENSE. We are New Yorkers. We walk everywhere. We are out. The city changes from block to block. Meeting people MATTERS. I am voting tomorrow, and I'm voting Zohran.

Between June 10 and June 16, there were FOUR bomb threats sent to public libraries across the US. That this doesn't make wider news–the ongoing targeting of public libraries with bomb threats–is mind-boggling. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...
