It is cold and clear here this morning and I am thinking of my friend and brother Mohamed, half a world away in the Al Mawasi camp in Gaza, who says it is storming and the thunder sounds like artillery shells. Please help him if you can:

worth noting here that the position of the conservative legal movement is that trying to remedy environmental racism is itself illegal race discrimination

Watching people humanize ChatGPT while dehumanizing literal small human children is one of the most fucked things about this era.
I don’t care if your book has a Paint cover. I don’t care if you have typos. I don’t care if you took the cover photo with your phone. But I do not want to read a book YOU DID NOT WRITE.
