If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

In case you want some sweet news today.

I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing.

PLR day is the best. I love libraries

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

i prefer “performance art” rather than “crying in the grocery store”

live your life in such a way that the entire world doesn't burst out laughing when your rocket blows up

We’re cancelling the guilty part of guilty pleasures. Wanna read romance books and drink cheap wine? Valid. Watch the trashiest reality show and scroll through Amazon? I support this. Listen to the same early 2000s pop song a thousand times in a row? Why stop there? Find that joy and SQUEEZE.

Ugh this is so sad. Maybe not her most powerful, but to me, her most moving poem is this one

REPEAT: You do NOT need to be currently pregnant to get this prescription.

In an era of potentially draconian abortion bans, take note!

I do not donate to my employer because we are already in a labor for compensation relationship. I'm very confused by these emails.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

It's true that bluesky isn't great for news and commentary about Palestine. Maybe it will get better, maybe it won't. But we have to keep trying because it's crucial to talk about Palestine precisely where it feels unwelcome.
