Why is the pundit class so desparate to push Biden out of the race? | Rebecca Solnitwww.theguardian.com Yes, Biden had a bad debate – but so did Trump. The media is once again repeating the mistakes of 2016

I got my Anxiety Scale pin from @bibicosplays.bsky.social ! It's a little loose on the low end (that's okay; my level is usually higher up anyway, lol). It's much bigger than I expected and it's beautiful! 💕🌸 I stuck it on my lanyard so my coworkers will know when to back off 😂

@abigaildisney.bsky.social I urge you to reconsider. Kamala is awesome but this country, especially in swing states, is too racist and misogynist to vote for her. Right now we NEED to not play with votes like, at all. I don't want to live in a dictatorship. It won't hurt YOU but it will hurt MANY.

Nobody lives forever, though. I refuse to die until after I dance on their graves. #idissent

This man is making his evil intentions as crystal-clear as they possibly could be, and everyone who cares about humanity should be blasting that message out in every possible venue.

"Why isn't the book longer" "Why is the ARC unfinished" "Why isn't the sequel done" Babe it's because comic artists are singlehandedly doing the work of a whole team of people for like $7 an hour if that

Here’s some math courtesy of Nate Powell to keep in mind when signing that graphic novel deal. #comics

Something I as a tech services librarian recommend: As soon as you hear about a forthcoming book you’d like to borrow, go to your library’s catalog and try to place a hold. There’s a good chance a record is already there. Strong demand stats help us plan—and look good to trustees & administrators. 📚

PSST. If you were like, "Hey I really want that evil apple book by Chuck Wendig but all I have are these accursed one-hundred and ninety-nine pennies," you will find it on sale for *exactly that price* at all your favorite electronic bookmongers.

IMO a powerful form of voter suppression is judicial & executive systems unendingly telling us that not only does the law not protect us, but that people who kill us can be pardoned or not charged at all. It disenfranchises us. If The Black Vote is so crucial to Democrats, they should address this.

Got off the train, got straight on the bus, the bus was full, pulling around the bus bay to go out of the train station, and then *POW!* Flat tire. ☹️ We all piled out and waited for the next bus. #finallyhome #MTBA #lifeinBoston

Books. They are AWESOME. You purchase one, and you OWN IT. It's like, THERE right on your shelf. It doesn't require regular online patches. You don't need to be online to read it. Books fucking RULE.

it’s the weekend, pass this around for those that might need help without fear of the police

Please make sure your friends have the Trans Lifeline number if they need crisis line help. They will not contact the police without your consent and are available throughout the US at 1-877-565-8860

What was it Trevor Noah said about cops? We're not dealing with bad apples, we're dealing with a rotten tree.

Isn't it interesting that every killing by every cop is just a single bad apple that should never be thought to spoil the bunch, while every protest by and on behalf of marginalized people must be flawlessly perfect, or all participants deserve the brutality the police exist to deliver to them?

It's my one-year Boston anniversary! One year ago today -- it was a Friday in 2023 -- I drove into the parking lot of my apartment building after a 1200-mile drive. So what did I do to mark this momentous occasion? Ran errands 🤣🤣🤣

I've just seen my first Cybertruck in the wild and it's been driving around a parking lot with its left blinker on for twenty minutes

It's almost spring throughout a lot of the northern hemisphere! I see a lot of articles saying that you should put loose pet fur out for birds to build nests with, but please be careful with that. Not all fur is suitable... 1/3
