Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.
Oh yay!
That's my assumption.
By asking all claimants to list other legal and beneficial rights holders they are literally doing everything they can to make sure everyone who has a claim gets a chance to make a claim and get paid.
The form is simple, the online interface simpler. Most of the info you need is supplied in the settlement database. And if you have any questions (that aren't already covered in the FAQ or elsewhere on the very plain English website), you can email the settlement administrators and they will reply.
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

An essay for World AIDS Day and the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks's valiant act of resistance, an essay on quilts and solidarity, on stitching the fragments together.
So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
The President is building an army to attack his own country.
Just because he's acting like he's never leaving is no reason for you to act like he's never leaving.
He is literally not paying for it.

I've thought about this a ton over the years. It's become clear that the *primary rhetorical strategy* of reactionaries is to manipulate liberals by appealing to liberal values (free speech, good faith) that they do not share. It works, again & again & again & again.
House Democrats fought to bring this sickening letter into the light while Trump and MAGA mouthpieces assured us it did not exist. Trump even sued the Wall Street Journal for reporting on it!
We can't trust a word MAGA says. Release the full Epstein file NOW!
I wrote about this, oh, yes, I did. www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-tru...
I cannot wait for Vance and Miller and Hegseth to get everything that's coming to them.
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.
May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.
Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent It was a sharp rebuke to the prosecutors who were assigned to bring charges against those arrested after President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and federal agents to Washington.
Jeanine Pirro is such a failure when forced to work in the courts and not just on TV that she *cannot* indict a ham sandwich. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.
Your father was such a good guy. I feel like I knew him through you. May his memory be a blessing and may your good memories of him comfort you. Hugs, Lisa.
I had such a wonderful time at the @goldencrownls.bsky.social annual conference in Albany. I got to teach a workshop, talk editing on a panel, and most of all spend time with people I love. We are going to take care of each other and we are going to keep fighting.
Yeah, Democracy was rough. Not having neighbors rounded up & sent to concentration camps, not wasting $200 mn on a futile bombing raid, not forcing the military to put on a parade for his birthday, not kicking millions off healthcare so oligarchs could pay less tax, not killing cancer research ..
A breakthrough preventive drug that offers total protection from HIV was to be rolled out across parts of Africa this year. But the Trump administration’s foreign aid cuts derailed those plans.
I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW.
No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote.
So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.
More than 9,000 American service members are buried at Normandy, where they died to protect democracy. We owe not just gratitude, but eternal vigilance to them and all who have sacrificed their lives for our country. #MemorialDay
Chris Murphy: "Let's be clear what this trip is all about. This is President Trump's corruption tour of the Middle East. He is going to the gulf to collect tribute. What's happening here is an extraordinary level of corruption. We shouldn't pretend this is business as usual."
