You can’t just report this like it’s a thing. What’s the possible authority?

It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

sal·ad: late Middle English: from Old French salade, from Provençal salada, based on Latin sal ‘salt’. Based on the above, potato chips are salad. You are so welcome.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

i stride into the grocery store with two guns, blood from the razor sewn into the waistband of my pants drips down my ass while blood from the razor blade in the tongue of my shoe soaks the escape map that shows me how to get back to my house two miles away. i have forgotten my wallet.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

The standard should not be "don't do a Nazi salute," the standard should be "maybe don't do something that could be interpreted as a Nazi salute." Really not too much to ask. (fwiw I think he knew exactly what he was doing)

Firstly, The Union was a terrible movie. Also, I will never understand why, when he transitioned into doing movies, he didn't change his name to Marquee Mark

In the aftermath of natural disasters, scammers are quick to exploit survivors. If you’re impacted by the LA fires, be vigilant: – FEMA will never charge fees for disaster aid – Always ask for ID from inspectors - Verify building contractors – Report fraud to 866-720-5721

The most frustrating thing about Smith's report is that the facts were known: Trump planned in advance to use false claims of voter fraud to challenge a loss, his words incited J6 violence, he supported rioters, calling them things like "patriots," & Americans, nonetheless, reelected him.

Not only do I feel for Neil Gaiman's victims, I also feel for all the people in publishing right now who have to work on his stuff in order to keep their jobs and make the rent. So many people make books happen--in publicity, marketing, school and library, editorial, production...all down the line.

Erin In The Morning is hiring! Earlier this month, I made the decision to hire my first full time writer. I'm currently considering candidates. That said, if you or anyone in your network has experience writing and covering LGBTQ+ legislation, science, and more, please send in your resume!

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

Whole immediate family now lives in LA. Mom has been fielding calls from folks back home (east coast) all week asking if it’s true that: - the entire city has evacuated - all the water is gone - Newsom is prepared to resign - the LAFD chief is trans - the Hollywood sign is gone - Elon is helping
