Imagine being an underpaid teacher married to another underpaid teacher AND fighting a rare cancer while raising 3 beautiful girls. Chemo will require week-long hospital stays. His wife is facing unpaid time off. They need us.

SoCal friends:

Many animal shelters are overwhelmed from people dropping off beloved pets they can't take with them as they flee. Please consider donating and fostering. Pasadena Humane is one such org. Contact your local animal orgs to see if they need help.

The curation of bedside books for guests is an activity that brings me ridiculous amounts of joy. If you stay with me, know that the stack of you-ish books beside your bed is on purpose & that I've been thinking about it for years like some kind of Icelandic Yule cat, minus the part where I eat you.

Since we’re talking about how much billionaires suck again, here’s a reminder that your local indie bookstore deserves your business this holiday season. They have gift cards and are happy to mail stuff out. Same goes for @bookshop-org.bsky.social. Buy books. Give books. Support bookstores.

This is an incalculable loss but Nikki Giovanni lived a grand and interesting life; that will always be a gift. May she rest in power.

Don’t get me wrong, Trump and his cronies and their deplorable behavior remain vile and evil. I am not numb to the stories of sexual assault. I just don’t understand why people continue to be surprised at new stories when almost every single male he appoints is a predator and rapist.

Yellowstone has been the biggest let down with these final episodes. No spoilers here, but thanks a lot, KEVIN! You ruined it!!

FABULOUS! Absolutely the best book I’ve read this year. Brilliant. Beautiful. Love love love.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Breaking News: Federal investigators established a trail of payments from Matt Gaetz to women, including some who testified he hired them for sex, according to a document obtained by The New York Times and a lawyer representing some of the women. nyti.ms/3YXR0ij

People I didn’t think I’d be agreeing with today…

But here we are!

What a breath of fresh air.
