Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

you are not alone.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

New video! Is Game Changer a (British) Panel Show?

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is well protected in a fabulous Cowrie shells neck piece. The National Museum of African American History and Culture notes that, in America, the shell is thought to be a totem used to resist enslavement. #Addtoblacksky #Blacksky #Inaugurationday2025

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday

Happy MLK Day.

Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah @regenceutah.bsky.social is still denying coverage for a life-saving oncologist-prescribed FDA-approved cancer drug, Perjeta, for my wife Raven's breast cancer treatment. And I will post about it every single day until it is covered. Every. Single. Day.

CNN is hopelessly broken. 1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law. 2. It would violate several treaties. 3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

Every book lover dreams of a secret library—not just for the aesthetic, but for the joy of being left alone. No interruptions, no small talk. Just peace, quiet, and the thrill of getting lost in another world!

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

🧇🥓🍳☕

Surround yourself with the kind of people who read banned books.

Luigi got them shook.

Just to be crystal clear, the New York Post are saying killing a rich white CEO is bad but killing a black homeless man is good

The moment before disaster. I've never won a run. I'm tired of this. And yet, I will continue. I must. #balatro

Ugh this is so sad. Maybe not her most powerful, but to me, her most moving poem is this one

Past week is cursed. Grandfather had a heart attack; my father was rear-ended so hard car is totaled; and today I slipped off a stair and sprained my toe and hurt my knee. And that's on top of all the other stuff nationally and globally. I don't believe in the retrograde stuff, but...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

After a whole year of nothing on the short story front, I just got a second short story acceptance this week 😭😭 I don’t know what’s happening, but I would love it to continue!

REALLY IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE SHARE #ASafeChoice physicians WILL prescribe medication abortion via telehealth FOR WOMEN WHO ANTICIPATE NEEDING THIS MEDICATION. REPEAT: You do NOT need to be currently pregnant to get this prescription. In an era of potentially draconian abortion bans, take note!

Two stages of writing: 1) This shouldn't take too long 2) Oh no

If you are an author, a publisher, or a “literary agent” and you are FOR banning books, may I humbly suggest you FIND A NEW JOB? 🙃

If you see this post, can you please help spread this information? #ASafeChoice is a referral network of physicians who provide medication abortion services ACROSS THE US. People everywhere need to know about this option. These doctors have capacity to help more women! Let’s spread word! ❤️✊

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you - have never published anything - have no readers - didn't write anything this month - didn't write anything this year - can't articulate words anymore - can only float and mournfully wail - were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

Getting a REALLY good idea for the plot AFTER finishing your outline is great except if you've already started writing several chapters that are all now barely recyclable with the new idea. Goddammit. #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #writer

Instead of shopping at Amazon this Black Friday, watch the incredible documentary UNION on how the Amazon Labor Union kicked their asses. Available NOW from Black Friday to Giving Tuesday! gathr.com/vod/15c99c8b...

Ban pharmaceutical ads!

If it's got snow it counts as a Christmas movie.

Fuck it, I say, as I dump the entire bag of pizza rolls on the baking sheet

Thinking back to, just after the election, when a friend told me he put a 'Housing is a Human Right' bumper sticker on his Tesla so people would stop assuming he was the enemy and flipping him off.
