This story, "The Old Man," is one of the most surprising stories I've read in a while. So much emotion and change in very few words. Brilliant.

For those of you who aren't tuned in, this a call for genocide against disabled people.

ONE WEEK AWAY.

Orange fluffy cat inside my car.

I have to go to work and this is not my cat.

Going to teach this essay and next time I teach a grad class, going to teach the book Nerve. @sfmontgomery.bsky.social is a rock star writer.

Okay, I started reading this, and laughed when I read, "Have you tried yoga?"

I'm not disabled, but I'm black, kind of queer, and fat, and I have gotten similar comments in workshops.

Thank you for this, Sarah Fawn! Definitely teaching this essay next year!

I thought the same thing! Are we Columbusing health procedures?

Holy moly, this is beyond weird.

so so so over the moon to announce that our latest issue is! now! here!!!

I’ll never be an influencer, or even someone who remembers to wear makeup, but I am sincere! This morning I stood in front of the Observatory (fence) to answer the question, “What is a generative workshop?” Hope to see you Wednesday for my generative workshop as fundraiser!

Data centers are expensive, unpopular — and could be a tipping point in the midterms Anger over the data center boom has spilled into politics with voters unseating local politicians who support them. It's become an issue hard to ignore in the midterm elections.

The arrogance and utter audacity it must take to question the knowledge of theology with a religious leader.

I do not like this J.D. Vance guy.

If he ever apologizes, I may have to start going back to church!

I can't wait to visit that place! I'm going to try to get there this summer.

Wait, whaaa?! I'm so far out of the loop of pop culture now that I don't have any idea of what's going on.

My algorithm is such that it plays Ella Fitzgerald, then The Toadies, then Erykah Badu, then TMBG, then Tool, and now Donna Summer. It all makes sense!

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress.

We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

Such a good conference. And affordable to boot!

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

Thank you, Ilze!

I see nothing to edit here. Perfect!

Can someone turn this into a GIF?

Thank you for sharing!
