Donald Trump wants to deport millions.

He has no plans to lower the cost of groceries.

He is gearing up to implement a dangerous agenda and distract you by extending the TikTok ban. Don’t fall for it.

Guess I’m going to have to start doomscrolling bluesky instead now. TikTok taught me so much. I’m going to miss it.

This reveals that RFK’s whole “oh you can get a vaccine if you want to, just no mandates” thing is bullshit because he’s going after the vaccines themselves.

Vaccines which, for the record, are one of the keystones to our civilization. Particularly regarding the survival of children.

“I’m incredibly proud to have signed it, but also acknowledge that America — and this is yet another good example — is becoming a patchwork quilt country. It really matters where you live.”

NJ to prohibit book bans, while Murphy lowkey admits a civil war is brewing.

There's a bizarre and ongoing mainstream effort to launder RFK Jr into someone who just wants to get Americans eating nutritious food and exercising again but that is not evidenced anywhere in his public statements or career in public life.

He is a liar and conspiracist.

It's important to remember that although there are times we feel ok, we are not actually ok.

We can't judge ourselves for not being ok.

I use tools like writing, reading, movies, meditation, walking, yoga and dance to try to be more ok. But it will take time.

I cannot tell you how much this book cover annoys me. Every time I look at it, I'm annoyed in a new way. This isn't Wordle–and Wordle is key in the story–and it would never tell you yellow on "E" twice when there is only one "E", nor would you have a six letter word, nor . . .

ROMEO AND JULIET

HARD ❌

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

EASY ✅

It was a shitshow

A quick write-up (for those who missed it at the end of the week) about @harpercollins.bsky.social's abominable decision to sell their authors' work to LLMs (h/t @kibblesmith.com).

What can YOU do? TLDR: support authors & tell publishers you do not want this.

Ex-librarian here—I'd say encouraging your followers to put in requests for books with marginalized authors/MCs and check out those books both in person and online would be best. To get books and keep them on shelves in times of scrutiny like this, there has to be a quantifiable demand for them.

Held an open house event for my library’s Library of Things today. I got to spread the word about our collection of unconventional items for checkout. We might not call it mutual aid, but that’s what it feels like for me and my community #publiclibrarian 💛
