reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

I met Brubaker at a conference for booksellers in 2016 and he was so lovely. For some reason, none of the other conference attendees were coming by his table, so he happily chatted with me for a good 30 minutes when I excitedly stopped by.

PLEASE y'all, file witness slips in opposition of this ILGA bill that would require OPERATING SYSTEM-LEVEL AGE VERIFICATION.

This is a bad bill on privacy and a bad bill on rights and a technical nightmare with terrible implications. There is no implementation of this that would be good.

I live in IL-9 and my mailbox has been absolutely wrecked by mailers for months. I have a roommate so we get at least two of each one every time.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

My picture was used in child abuse images. AI is putting others through my nightmare | Mara Wilson I was a child actor, exploited by strangers on the internet. Now millions of children face the same danger

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children.

Sadly, it split during a storm. We had the rest of the tree from just above the hole down for about another year, but then they chopped down the whole thing :(

This tree used to be directly in front of my apartment window. One time a HUGE mushroom sprang up on it overnight. I spent so much time watching the squirrel who had babies in the hole chase other squirrels away.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.

Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

A black cat lying under a lit Christmas tree. He is lying on a red and black Buffalo plaid tree skirt. The Christmas tree lights have a halo effect around them from the camera.

My phone has astigmatism, but enjoy Moonpie under the tree.
