Sign of the day…

This is unceded Estom Yumeka Maidu land.

You can’t crucify the poor Monday through Saturday and show up in your Easter best like you’ve earned grace. Sit this one out.

"If you can purchase US citizenship for $5 million, the “illegals” are only guilty of being poor." -Feminist News

More than 25,000 people showed up in this little red Folsom town to hear @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social call out the oligarchs, the dictators, and the Kevin Kileys.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

Every billionaire (actually, millionaires too) not actively and publicly using their absurd and immoral wealth to fight the defunding/bribery/deportations is complicit, and yes, this includes the shiny liberal pop stars.

Did you know that you can submit to both poetry and prose at the same time? 😉 Submit here: buff.ly/3OYTRme

Our government feels like when Scar took over after Mufasa died. Just a bunch of ecological damage and hyenas running around this mf.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

Wild timing, but the universe keeps its own schedule: welcome to our (pre-scheduled!) cover reveal and preorders day for @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social's book GRAPHIC RAGE, 25 sharp, unflinching, and darkly funny feminist comics. Order at the link in our bio or www.splitlippress.com/graphic-rage

Read the ICE document for yourself that Karoline Leavitt refused to answer questions about. It says exactly what @AndrewFeinberg said; all it takes is "8 points" on a made-up rubric, and that can be just a tattoo (4 points) and displaying "logos" or "symbols" (4 points).

And this is their bullshit response.

So what you're saying is otters have better pockets than women.

Can’t wait to read this!

Ok, who else thought this was an AWP joke about litmag submissions?

🐥I don’t know what happens. I get to AWP and decide that everyone secretly hates me. Sigh. If you don’t secretly hate me, here’s where I’ll be: WTR & Tea: COW Cafe, 342 W Pico Blvd at 8 am, Thurs Book signing, Whale Road Rev, booth 948: 10 am, Fri Book signing, Terrain booth 323: 1 pm, Fri

Hear, Hear! @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social lay out the hypocrisy, stupidity, and criminality:

🕊️ I’m excited be included in the Stevie Nicks anthology from Madville Publishing! May 2026!

All the sad things are sadder.

The thing about romance is that it’s usually written by women, so every time I read a romance I’m reminded that I should have married a woman. ❤️❤️ Anyway, can’t wait for this one!

Well, that’s mighty white of you.
