Y’all gotta go read books. There’s no way around it.

Read books.

In case you follow me @X, my account was HACKED and someone is impersonating me selling bitcoin (and who knows what else to come).
Beyond that, all attempts to contact X to rectify the matter go nowhere.
If you have an account there, and get the chance, please post so people will know. Thanks!

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him.

He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

Every few years, we sign up for yet another platform just to keep in touch with our friends. Private platforms have locked users in for too long, causing a lack of innovation & competition in social media.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

Listen to your children read. Read to your children. Read alongside your children. Take them to libraries. Talk about what reading means to you & what it can unlock.
Tell them it doesn’t matter if it’s comics, magazines or books as long as they’re engaged with the written word. #WorldBookDay

There's been so much publicity about the now-Oscar-winning doc No Other Land being unable to find a U.S. distributor (which is appalling) that some people may not realize it's currently on 100 screens here. In Manhattan you can see it at Film Forum; in Brooklyn it's at Alamo Drafthouse.

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment.

Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?

This is your reminder to download your kindle books onto a device where you can keep hold of them if Amazon decides to remove them.

They'll be removing that option on the 26th of this month. 5 days. So back up your library!
