No, just that the Pope is American and not Italian.

Yeah but the news is breaking all over socials about it today, so let’s not split hairs.

The irony of all of this is that Leo is already from Avignon, so to speak

The Pentagon threatened THE POPE today by referencing Avignon.

Don’t fuck with Bob from Chicago.

I can’t say as I blame him.

Today is Wednesday, April 8
Good morning ❤️

*deep breath in*

eat
take your meds
hydrate
tell your people you love them
let them love you back

*slow exhale out*

We are still here. This is still real. Let's build a home for each other and fight like hell.

Federal Judge Approves Trump Effort to Obtain List of Jews From Penn

personally I think "Federal Judge Approves Trump Effort to Obtain List of Jews From Penn" is a bad thing to read in the newspaper

Happy St Patrick's Day to the Irish-American tradition that's about solidarity with oppressed peoples and opposition to imperialism, and *NOT* to the part that's about integration into American whiteness via exercises in domineering racism.

You’ve got this, darling friend.

Oh friend! I am only now seeing this. I have been where you were. I am glad to see you posting at the other side of this. My DMs are always always always open for you. Much love to you and Littles-tau.

This is who we’ve always been

William Blake’s illustration for “The Tyger” has what appears to be a dippy grin for some reason.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night

What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

SIR. Unless that’s immediately followed by “and understand how wrong it is and why you’re angry” that’s grounds for immediate intergalactic space yeet.

They're just trying to preemptively suppress voter turnout by making threats, and you do not, in fact, have to help them do voter suppression by boosting their voter suppression efforts as though it's a done deal and everyone will have to run a tear gas gauntlet to vote.

This is not a thing that they can legally do, even if they had enough people to do it. We need to keep reiterating that they're openly threatening to violate election law and not let them pretend this is law enforcement that they can legally do at polling places.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:

They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.

The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

Plato Censored as Texas A&M Carries Out Course Review A&M officials have also instructed English faculty not to teach books in core classes that have major plotlines concerning gay, lesbian or transgender identities.

An associate dean told English faculty “literature with major plot lines that concern gay, lesbian or transgender identities should not be taught in core-curriculum classes…faculty may assign textbooks with chapters that cover transgender identity, so long as they do not talk about the material.”🙃

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

Good morning ❤️

Well, the regime sure chose a hell of a way to start the year. And our job remains:

eat
take your meds
hydrate
tell your people you love them
let them love you back

We are here. This is real. Let's build a home for each other & fight like hell.

One of the Trump regime's arguments for Greenland is that they don't manage their resources properly and so we should do that.

Colonization is the term for this.

To wit. Current status:

The cats definitely approve. They’re going to be deeply annoyed in the coming days when I stop reading on the couch all day. I have become *their* couch.

Well I was until I woke up this morning and read the news…happy new year to you as well, friend! See you Wednesday?

I am considering going back to bed until 2027.

I saw this earlier today but the nature of the threat wasn’t specified in my source. Thanks for this additional information.

Deep is a wise and lovely former colleague. When he speaks, listen.

I gave this advice at Alpha: listen, you can use LLMs all you want. But if you rely on it, if you bust yourself down to most generic type of writing, you'll sound like everyone else; you'll never know what you think, you'll never develop your voice, and your voice is the only thing you have.
