Oh but gas is a whole different company now?! Ugh New Orleans utilities stressing me out

you’re laughing? her name was lola she was a showgirl and she lost her youth, her tony, and her mind at the copacabana and YOU’RE LAUGHING??

I like this season's Document collection. Document is a Korean menswear brand that used to do minimalist-styled clothing that leaned heavily into distinctive silhouettes, although this season feels more heritage-y. In the US, they are carried at No Man Walks Alone and Namu Shop.

A lot of people need to slow down and acknowledge to themselves that they're afraid, and this is affecting how they are interacting with other people. You have to acknowledge the reality of your feelings, or you won't control how they shape your behavior.

update: i wrote a book on sandwiches instead

Yes, this incorrect. But it is also just basic, incontrovertible, despicable racism. Add this to the list of reasons to impeach.

That RFK clip is ghastly, but it's totally consistent with the Islamophobia that has been coming out of this administration, including Trump's rhetoric about Abdul El-Sayed. They are all in on the hatred of Muslims because it's a formula that has worked before.

Let’s create the systemic misogyny torment nexus from the classic essay Don’t Create the Systemic Misogyny Torment Nexus

These people took *entirely* the wrong message from Judy Brady’s 1971 essay “I Want a Wife.”

Been venturing outside of my nonfiction comfort zone (!) for the first time ever really and it turns out I do like fiction as long as it is miserable medieval folk horror SPECIFICALLY

And that's where books come from and how they are made. Then the literary stork delivers the readers

I mean let's be honest there's a whole bunch of adults that aren't behaving super well either and I'd rather have the children who are at least not doing it on purpose

MIWHT: The Calendar had a bigger opening weekend than Digger (don't check that) but it will still be open for 10 more days and I still have to tell you about it.

you simply don't have to spend your life arguing with these people. they are receiving the punishment they deserve by having to live as themselves.

RIP Walter❤️

Honestly, the only thing more stressful than being held hostage is being held hostage and knowing that River Cartwright is going to try to rescue you. #SlowHorses

Full Moon - In the fullness of the moon, may we recommit to practices that quiet the body-mind, nurture artistry and grow our skills as artists of life #fullmoon

I literally can't get my correct gender marker on my corrected birth certificate (X) because my state driver's license can only be F or M, which functionally means I'm not allowed to vote because my IDs don't match which is a felony, but somehow being nonbinary isn't part of my trans oppression?

The next person who says "if you didn't vote you don't get to complain" has to pay me to mount a challenge to the Louisiana legal code

What are you gonna be for Halloween? Ever wanted to wear a costume on a phone bank? On Oct 31 we're having a Halloween Costume Contest: come dressed as something that would scare MAGA (or just your best costume). Prizes await those whose costumes go above and beyond!

May we cherish the multitude of ways people are tending green spaces, restoring burned over places, and bringing healing where they can to the injured earth #eveningconsideration #eveningprayer #chaliceextinguishing #uu

Today and tomorrow are your LAST CHANCE to vote early! 🗳️ As a teacher, I’ve spent 17 years showing up for my students. I’m ready to bring that same commitment to Congress and give our communities the representation we deserve. Let’s get this done, LA1!

"...every single day, the share of... black voters has gone up. On the first day, it was 31.7%. On Wednesday, black voters cast 32.6%. Yesterday they cast a whopping 33.2%. Across all four days combined, black voters are now 32.2% of everyone who has voted early..." www.wbrz.com/news/early-v...

So if you’re sick of cox (I am), you get AT&T? Is that the best option? Does living in Algiers make any difference?

💯 Thank you for saying this. I ran for seats before this US House seat this cycle and while I didn’t win the 2022 and 2023 smaller races, they helped organizing and mobilizing for future efforts. We keep showing up 🩷🩷🩷

I'm over this defeatist "nothing ever changes" shit. If Davis loses, we try the fuck again because Louisiana is worth fighting for. And we JUST had a Dem in statewide office, reelected DURING Trump 1. Why is it suddenly impossible now? Bc you're brainwashed by the GOP acting like they're god

Putting up a good fight, trying to win, and losing is STILL more valuable than never really trying. It builds infrastructure, voter habits, local talent. TX is on the verge in large part bc of ppl activated (and maintained) by Beto. GA went purple bc Stacey Abrams worked hard (still does) and lost.

Not a joke. This literal toddler is too good at a *competitive game* (he's amazing) so the fragile AF league (?) thought something at the intersection of criminalization + calling the people known to endanger Black lives was the appropriate response to this must be white + cis to play sports now

Pray together/Stay together, etc.

Wow, this is beautifully done. Encourage library & archive folks to take 20 minutes to explore this story and learn more about Indigenous cultural heritage—there's a lot here that's new to me! 📚

I named a character in MAZYWOOD “Priscilla Stephens” after my 88-year-old aunt, a 1960s civil rights warrior in ailing health. She came to my book signing in Miami and was surprised to hear her name in my reading. 😍 I am still trying to raise money to help offset her bills. gofund.me/fef960f97

The main negative response I've seen towards the excitement over this Louisiana US Senate race is "He WonT WIn AnYwAY!" I find it annoying because voters in this state haven't had much to be excited about in years, and change starts with people believing that change is possible in the first place!!

These are so beautiful and I really want one

last week to preorder the sojourners for justice press 2027 calendar! @prisonculture.bsky.social and i work really hard on them and are excited to send them out before the holidays 🤎https://sojourners4justice.press/calendar

"I found out that Judy's next mission was to change Hollywood. ... I feel so privileged to pick up that baton and carry on, not just in my honor [and] in everyone else's, but in hers." —Ruth Madeley on Judy Heumann's legacy 🩵 #BeingHeumann in theaters 11/6, streaming on AppleTV 11/13 buff.ly/u2D5Qhs

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.
