Elon Musk wakes up, bleary and disoriented. "Grimes, I just had the weirdest dream..." he mutters as he rolls over to her. "Tell me all about it, Space Daddy," replies Stephen Miller's wife in bed beside him. "Yeah, tell her," comes Stephen's bitter voice from a chair in the semi-darkness.

(small, selfish voice) but... I want him to stay here and do a good job running Maryland...?

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding. It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

If you haven't already, buy you masks, air purifiers, and spare filters NOW. I like Coway and Levoit models with HEPA filters, but you can also DIY a Corsi-Rosenthal box. I also buy my Powecom KN95 masks with head straps from Bonafide Masks (they have a 25% sale right now with the code BFM25).

This used to be a hard question but then Kendrick Lamar happened to Drake

Great idea but fair warning: I've been doing it for years and look how it's turned out for me and everyone like me - defunded, marginalized, passed over in favor of people who are easier to get along with, easier to listen to, less intense. Solidarity, I've discovered, is most important of all

Krystalnach being a messy polycule was NOT on my bingo I predict a LOT of shit . I can draw a lot of lines But this here I can only analyze in retrospect because WHAT THE HELL

Hidden in the Republican budget bill: a provision to do away with all oversight on AI systems with rent fixing algorithms. If your rent starts to go up, Republicans are to blame.

Now this is what a Left Rogan would sound like

Please donate to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund if you are able:

🧵HAUSER UPDATE: I'm still post-federal-agency-adjacent lay-offs looking for an FT position! I'm an excellent progressive writer w/ decades of experience reporting, analyzing, & contextualizing the news under my own byline + channeling corporate & individual voice as a nonprofit comms professional.

Wrong, evil, morally indefensible, should be illegal, another cog in the machine built to dehumanize an entire class of human people, a blow to all of us engaged in trying to save the republic, and a flashing red indicator of why you should always believe them when they tell you who they are.

her seamless integration of “like Lady Godiva” absolutely sends me

This cover of "Don't Stop Me Now" is art.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

Reading Night Watch to the kids right now. I even pointed out some lilac trees to them (they bloom earlier where we live).

Which reminds me: You have until 11:59 *TONIGHT* to do this, and it'll take you max 2-3 minutes. Please leave a comment!

It takes a handful of minutes and is one of the many important steps you can take to tell the government that we should all be allowed to get COVID vaccination which is a WILD ASS THING TO HAVE TO TELL THEM but here we are

This comment period ends today, 5/23, at 11:59 pm ET. Please do comment asap if you believe the government should allow us to get COVID vaccinations. I can't believe we even have to petition them about this, but here we are.

Hmm; that is a dilemma. Have you worn a cardigan about it?

The fascist win if you lose your compassion for other people. That's part of the war. You have to keep compassion.

it took me a very long time to learn that openly identifying problems before other people do, but not having immediate, non-threatening solution(s) in hand to solve them, rapidly increases the likelihood of being professionally punished, especially if you are a non-white woman

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...
