I hear *someone* is having a sale next week.

I guess they have to try and recoup some of that $2.5 billion they’re forking over for *checks notes* being deceptive? Who would’ve thought?

Feels like Oct 7 & 8 will be prime days to support independent bookstores. 😌

Californians: you may know that the new budget proposes to cut the Performing Arts Equitable Payroll Fund, which supports small nonprofit arts orgs in complying with AB-5, and could hugely impact their survival.

It's not MAR10 Day anymore, but reposting this clip anyway because it's fun:

I just got Dr. Mario again and have been playing for the first time in years, so I have the Chill theme fresh in my ears, one of my all-time favs.

What’s your favorite video game theme song, Mario-related or otherwise?

Elon Musk is spending millions to end the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Fight back by signing up for a phonebank to get out the vote for Susan Crawford. Early voting starts next week and we need your help: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

The best way to support musicians is by buying albums directly, and today artists get 100% of profits on Bandcamp! 🙌
I have 2 albums + 1 EP available: rebeccahass.bandcamp.com, and if you have music on Bandcamp, too, comment with your link, so we can spread the love! 🎶 💗 🎶

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual.

We do not consent to this lawless power grab.

I love the practice of choosing a theme word for the year. It's been a longtime tradition for me.

This practice varies according to what feels right: some years I pick more than one, some years the right word reveals itself a month ahead of time, and other times not until the year has begun.
