Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

I feel like if you have to say “don’t worry the product we’re making money off won’t reflect its creators craven dark heart” you’re never seeing heaven.

Ever listen to a song and think, “ya that’s good?” But then recall that it was on #glee, so you play their version, you think, “fuck, that got me there.”

📚 Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
⭐⭐⭐

The author provides a very satisfying reflection on the peace many people can find in life outside what we call “normal” and, even a call to action for more respect to all the strangers we encounter.

As a friend just said, “This past week alone, CBC has demonstrated how critical it is to have national public radio to keep us informed and connected during the US threats.” #CBC #tariffs

Love in the Big City by Sang Young Park
⭐⭐⭐⭐

First book of 2025 complete!

The protagonist’s fear of rejection and very real feelings of scarcity of love in this world were the focus of this beautiful novel.

Glad to see this issue get continued attention, sad about the creeping-dread feeling it gives me in my tummy: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
Guardian headline and subhead, from an article published today, reads: “Canada’s election is about to have an Elon Musk problem with Trudeau’s exit The world’s richest man looks to move Canada to the right as the beleaguered prime minister prepares to depart”

Sometimes, when I need a jolt of good feels, I watch the best acceptance speech in film history.

The relief that comes from giving up on a book you hate should not be undervalued. Treasure it. Learn from it.

The Onion cooking as usual
"Would you tell us about a time that you were personally victimized by a trans person?" J.K. Rowling: "Yes, I remember like it was yesterday: you see, I was advocating for their total annihilation and then a few of them said some mean words to me on the internet."
