Better to be bored at an airport than anxious you're gonna miss your flight.

It's been so interesting to watch this unfold. Barnes & Noble and other big book chains shut indies down in the the 1990s (and on) and then Amazon came along and ate up all the book market share. Now people tired of big corporations are creating demand for more indies

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

For someone who hasn't logged into Instagram for two years I sure do get a lot of 'password reset' emails from them.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I refuse to believe that this big ass state doesn't have anyone better to offer for governor this is ridiculous.

i for one would like to see this

You laugh, but that Albania flag goes pretty hard. Don't blame him, honestly.

we have got to get it together, in like twenty-four hours the astronauts are back

I just want to take this moment to say I have never met an escort and I have never been Jeffrey Epstein. Wait. Shit.

“Hello officer, where do you keep your nuclear wwwessels?”

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

Somebody do it already.

who has a book coming out that people can preorder so they have something to look forward to and then be pleasantly surprised when the book just shows up on their doorstep

Oh. My. God.
