“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

But seriously we are on the precipice of the demise of the USPS and too overwhelmed with crises to give it proper attention. The Constitution will not save it, the admin wants it dead, and Republicans in Congress are on permanent vacation. No one is coming to save it unless we show them it matters.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Comic. [Two roads with signs next to them. The road on the left has a bridge over it with a sign that reads “Bridge: Clearance 10 ft 6 in” leading up to a pre-bridge hazard bar. The second road has no bridge and a sign with a pole extending upward off-screen that reads “No Bridge: Clearance 46 billion+ light-years”

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Comic. [Person with ponytail pointing at diagram while speaking to three other people] PERSON: If the emergency stop is activated, any riders on the waterslide will be diverted into the beam dump, a large graphite block which will safely absorb their momentum. [caption] We regretted hiring an accelerator physicist to design our water park.

a super cool chrome spaceship landed in an empty desert expanse. Two characters are standing below it looking around confused, about what, who can say?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

NEJM and public health group are launching rival to CDC’s MMWR publication Two institutions are coming together to create an alternative to the CDC’s vaunted Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report

🧪Farm workers in California are falling sick with H5N1 symptoms. RFK Jr. has ordered to not test or report cases, to keep it under wraps.

Shady actions like this, to keep the public in the dark is why NEJM & CIDRAP are launching weekly public health alerts, free for the public.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
