FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: “Coconuts falling out of trees kill more people than sharks do” is not actually correct, but for the purposes of Internet discourse I’ll allow it. More people do die falling of cliffs taking selfies than are killed by sharks, though.

In the immortal words of James Baldwin, "It's not on us to cool it."

Decade after decade of stochastic terror, gun rights fervor, & the foment of conspiratorial thinking by, from, on, & within the right, & yet it's somehow DEMOCRATS & the LEFT who need to "calm things down" or "lower the temperature?" Nah son. We *been* calm, and quite fucking cool and collected. …

The UK now has the most openly non-religious House of Commons in history, with 40% of MPs choosing secular affirmation instead of oath to God, up from 24% after the 2019 election. These include Prime Minister Keir Starmer and half the Cabinet. (Via Humanists UK)

I think all the time about the interviewer who asked Meryl Streep “how did you not know about Weinstein” and she was like “I didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know” it isn’t a character flaw to have been deceived by someone who is a deceit expert cultivating the cover of your faith & goodwill

Whenever someone is outed as problematic, there are a billion people who need to see, in sky-writing, "you didn't know, that's ok, but now you do, act accordingly." No one expects you to be psychic or in on every whisper network, and folks inferring so aren't being fair. WHISPER networks. WHISPER.

Every time I travel I am so grateful to hold a passport that allows me to travel to almost any place in the world without suspicion or hassle. I am hyper aware that this is sadly not the case for so many people, which is so unfair and infuriating.

I know zilch about French politics. But the negative tone of English-language reporting on this election, the assumption that France will be ungovernable, seems strange. Why can’t parties that cooperated to turn back the far right find other ways to cooperate moving forward?
