getting tattooed by a Hungarian artist visiting London on Tuesday and she probably thinks I'll be the one dealing with pain on the day but I would argue that being forced to spend an hour with me as I go through every Hungarian novel I've enjoyed will absolutely make the appointment worse for her

A lot of Americans don't actually care much about policy, because they don't trust government to solve their problems. Instead, they just want someone to blame when they're struggling. And the GOP gives them scapegoats in spades.

In March 2020, as exec director of a small nonprofit, I directly helped up folks make rent, set up mutual aid, got wildly creative with budget & gamed out detailed worst-case futures. And I had to fight tooth & nail with my own panicking team who didn’t want to confront our reality. Do it anyway.

I was fortunate enough to work with Bracy a long time ago at Code for America so I can easily and without reservation say that this book will be both brilliant and essential.

Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people — large or small — where you could, and you need to hear it, I’m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

Because I'm rereading the second of Ilona Andrews' HIdden Legacy trilogies, I thought of Catalina saying, "<redacted> is not a detail person. If he encountered an elephant, he would describe it as a large, gray animal."

I've been rereading Ilona Andrews' Hidden Legacy series, so this reminds me of the hero of the first trilogy telling the heroine when she doubts herself, "the only difference between you and <antagonist> is experience and education, and you can get both."

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

Can someone disentangle (sorry) octopus as c20 antisemitic trope from the octopus as anti-monopoly trope for me? I like a good anti-monopoly octopus but I feel twitchy about posting them now that I know about octopus-as-antisemitic-trope, esp. since I don't know if/how the tropes are related.

If you have GOP members of Congress and/or senators, this is why you should explain to them the negative impacts of Trump's EOs and incursions on government on you.
