“Teachers are cops” strikes me as a take that emerges from a level of analysis where you think what makes cops bad is they tell you what to do

vogue doing a hairspray tribute without a SINGLE fat person in sight is 100% a recession indicator

There are tons of great indie books out there, and this is truly just the tip of the iceberg. If you’re an author, we encourage you to self-rec in the comments, and/or tag us in posts! We also have an announcement about our indie book database coming soon! 👀 #booksky #transrightsreadathon #trr25

THREAD: There’s a dire situation in Vietnam, at the largest Agent Orange spill in the country. When Trump and Marco Rubio cancelled foreign aid, froze funding and began dismantling USAID, those who were cleaning up the Bien Hoa air base had to halt work. 1/

unpopular stance: ACAB includes Scully but not Mulder, because there's absolutely no way Fox Mulder understands what the law really is or that his job is to enforce it. he has less capacity for moral cognition than a K9 unit.

If you’re looking for trans authors to support during the #TransRightsReadathon , I have something perfect for you! I have gathered 40+ trans authors to create a huge sale bundle where you can get 46 books & comics for $20, or 73 books & comics for $30!!! 👀 itch.io/b/2914/stori...

If anyone on here works at Politics & Prose or other bookstores that are scheduled to host Chuck Schumer, I have a proposal—if you cancel his event, I would pledge to buy a book of equal value or make a donation to make sure you didn’t lose revenue—and I bet a lot of others would too.

Those people who think that throwing trans people under the bus is necessary to beat MAGA: you’re fucking wrong.

I'm hoping subscribers can nominate influencers they want to hear shriek "ow, HEY, OW!!"

The trajectory of Israeli politics is in an illiberal and indeed fascist direction as long as it seeks to expand its borders and suppress Palestinian aspirations - evidence keeps mounting on that front

Chancleta is starting a podcast, but instead of blandly agreeing with far-right influencers he will pretend to want them to pet his belly and will then bite them

The Ides of March 44 BC is notorious as the day that Roman senators wore pink to protest the actions of Julius Caesar

Okay I need 2 say something. I’ve been online long enough to see a lot of discourse cycles about anti-intellectualism like the one sparked by this post. I want 2 highlight an aspect of these debates that I find to be frustratingly under-discussed: the rhetorical position of children’s literature. 1/

Premair Biff Gimmick folds 'em faster than an Ontario Science Centre shutdown.

this is simply the most Hamilton story to ever exist www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

looking up goodreads reviews of histories of capitalism and it's super funny how often they say something like "criticizes capitalism without offering an alternative" because that feels like if they read a book about the Titanic and got upset that it didn't end with the boat flying away to safety

the amount of mealy-mouthed people crawling out of the woodwork to imply mahmoud khalil doesn’t deserve our full-throated support is evidence of the conditions that allowed him to be disappeared in the first place.

Days since a trash can mishap: 0 This was a long time coming and it was a REALLY GOOD mishap bahahahaha full statement to follow

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.

Damn, Albert Einstein was also funded by Hamas?

🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody. We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

Big fan of director James Whale being asked by censors to provide a "moral lesson" to the end of 1935's Bride of Frankenstein and responding that 2/3s of the main cast getting blown up in the end should give "sufficient warning to anybody, I should think."

he doesn't care that he isn't supposed to be on the bookshelf. the brain cell hungers for knowledge and it must have its way

$5 from each scarf sold will be donated to @abortionfunds.bsky.social's Collective Power Fund, which distributes grants to abortion funds across America. These funds offer direct funding and practical support to individuals who need to access reproductive care. logandria.com/collections/...

Okey thisis giv momb ideas and i donot like it

me: i'd like to buy that jacket for my girlfriend store clerk: the double breasted one? me: yes that's her

Yep they - the Harris campaign - totally wasted and boxed in Walz. Madness.

fascinating to me how the arguments for Israeli expansion all boil down to "well we're LEGALLY allowed to do it (because our own court said so)" www.thewrap.com/no-other-lan...

Lmfao

The #1 least helpful response from Americans on the 51st state stuff is to tell us that we can ignore it because it’s a “distraction” from the “real issues” of internal US politics. This is a continued threat to our sovereignty paired with devastating tariffs scheduled for *next week*.

This is my best product photoshoot I have ever done. Oh and the new stuff is up on Etsy! - hemlockvale.etsy.com

It seems so obvious that in any country, conservative leadership will capitalize on the opportunity to seize on a swell of reactionary nationalism when there is an existential threat, real or perceived, to pass horrific policies. Canada isn't different or special even if yall want to think so.

Mrs. Martin's Incomparable Adventure on the pride book club list for my library, I'm about to become the Joker.

It is kinda funny that people are going wow Canada seems pretty united and pissed off and yeah I guess threatening to take over someone’s homeland and trying to economically ruin them might make folks a little upset that’s wild
