Someone on TikTok repeatedly messages me with, “do a TikTok on each of your books, what they’re about!”
You mean like…the books I’ve written, in which the words sort of (hopefully) explain what the book is about?
I am happy for people who can do all that work but Jesus the internet has worn me out

People keep saying Senator Booker's filibuster was meaningless and people who were moved by it are naive and gullible but I lived and organized in a south where this record stood and slavery and Jim Crow cast a long shadow and I tell you Booker taking that record means something.
In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”
A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

Greenland is not a failing business ripe to be scooped up by any vulture capitalists who happen by. It doesn't have a price tag; it's not a revenue-generation machine. Out of all the awfulness of the past two months, seeing framings like this from other journalists is among the most heartbreaking.

If there's anyone in the US doing what Coast Salish people do with Cowichans, it's on a hobby level, not a commercial level. So when it comes to hand-spun, hand-knit sweaters of this quality, the Canadians are undeniably better.
