Happy birthday, Kafka! "Time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy, and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible then one must try to wriggle through by subtle maneuvers."

The fat, literature, and publishing article by @frumpenberg.bsky.social is bringing me such gifts today. Thank you, @tinido.bsky.social!

Reading Martha Moody (mentioned in the article) by @susanstinson.bsky.social last year was one of the best things that ever happened to me as a reader, and seeing fat bodies celebrated was a big part of the experience, besides the incredibly beautiful prose. Do yourself a favor & read it.

So the school is gone but the guns are still here. Sounds like America in a nutshell.

For six years, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where a gunman killed 17 people, has been a nightmare frozen in time. But now, the 1200 building, which contained the bloody and heartbreaking remnants of the massacre, is being demolished.

Stuart Stevens: Just to recap: Donald Trump is a felon. He joins his campaign manager, deputy campaign manager, national security advisor, foreign policy advisor, political consultant, and personal lawyer as felons.

The only people who've ever held Trump meaningfully accountable over the last nine years have been ordinary Americans and they've spent that entire time being lectured to and berated by elites who've failed to do anything.

The Orwellian idea of an "Antisemitism Awareness Act" to support the genocidal policies of the Israeli government is so grotesque that of course it passed the House. Brought to you by the same deadly partnership btw Evangelicals, the Zionist lobby, & the Dem/Repub parties that funds the genocide.
