Mike Parson has a history of pardoning white people and not pardoning black people even when prosecutors and judges agree a man was wrongfully convicted.

And yet Parson refused clemency for an innocent Black man.

Reminder in case you and your friends/fam need this as much as mine have this week: Any adults who test positive for Covid or flu (or both 🫠) in the US can get free telemed + free treatment (like Tamiflu or Paxlovid) from this NIH-funded program: test2treat.org

My 80 yr. old mom is in the hospital and bored. She likes Stephen King but has read all his books. Recommendations?

Y’all cannot say you want more black people on this app out of one side of your mouth and then participate in anti-blackness out of the other side.

Monthly reminder: It’s okay to buy more books. It’s okay to get more books from the library. It’s okay to buy books you won’t read for years. It’s okay to pile books everywhere. It’s okay to get different editions of the same book. Books are awesome. Do whatever makes you happy.

Fact-checking isn’t enough. We need fact-crusading.www.stopthepresses.news The enemies of truth should be called out and confronted, not just corrected.

It’s so deranged that the US is somehow the only country that can afford to fund two foreign wars, but can’t afford universal healthcare. I promise you’re a lot more likely to die from cancer than Al Qaeda.

Does anyone have a book birthday coming up soon? #kidlit
