Did "we"?
When? How was this decision made? Can we check in with us to get more details?
...
Is this "we" just the New Yorker?

A screenshot of The New Yorker:
"Comebacks are trickier for some than others. Even at the height of the #MeToo era, we decided that some people were candidates for eventual rehabilitation, and then we set them aside for later, like incomplete tasks. But we haven't figured out what, exactly, that comeback process should look like."
The section "we decided that some people were candidates for eventual rehabilitation" is highlighted.

Got jealous after seeing a friend's sketchbook the other day and realized how much I've missed just drawing for it's own sake. Went out and bought a new one and look what sprouted! #saucedraws

A pencil drawing of a variety of mushrooms sprouting. They are all different shapes and sizes of mushroom, although none are specifically based on particular species. They're just general mushrooms. I think they're neat.

Breaking: embattled Platner desperately tries to triangulate after initial tattoo cover up deemed "still kinda fash".
Per his comms team: "Graham recognizes that the choice to replace the totenkopf with a celtic knotwork fenrir raised some eyebrows, and has now opted for his favorite band's logo."

Hyped for this.
For all y'all unaware, tonight they're streaming the last night of Bad Bunny's residency in PR. After this he's doing a world tour that doesn't include the US mainland, explicitly because he doesn't want to give ICE a target by holding concerts here.

A drawing of King Charles III sitting on a throne. He is nude other than a crown, a diaper and a pacifier. His sausage fingers hold a car battery, which is hooked up to his nipples.
It is likely one of the worst things I've ever drawn.

Solidarity with my trans siblings back in the UK. Shit is rough everywhere right now, but we have each other's backs. Today was a good day for these stickers to get to me...

A pink water bottle with a sticker for the UK Mathcore band Pupil Slicer. The sticker has the band name over a trans flag with barbed wire, and features the slogan "Trans Inclusive Radical Hatred"

I love the way labelers here can interact with posts to bring them to even greater heights.

A screenshot of the post above, with Ed Zitron repeating his typo "Facutally", juxtaposed with the label applied to his account indicating he was educated at a private school, as if to ask "where did all that money go, Ed?"

I think this is my favorite photo of Joey. We went out shopping, and when we got back, there was no sign of him until we saw a suspicious lump under the duvet. He was snuggled up in my pajamas with our plushies and was quietly disappointed at being disturbed.
I miss him so much. 💔
