Catherine, working on Great

This is part of what makes libraries so magical. It’s where the other people, the safe ones, live. Bookstores and rooms with stacks and stacks of books work, too.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

The other day I drove a friend back from the airport and the whole way we talked about how impossible it is to be a woman with ADHD while also managing...everything. About halfway home we realized there was a pumpkin sitting on my windshield.

Never give up. You won't ever finish crafting your cursed crown of ancient bones until you get out there, wander through twilight forests, and follow ghosts to their mossy forgotten tombs.

Daily reminder that people don’t have any sense and I am not allowed to hit anyone. In case you, too, could use a mantra.

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

I grew up in a lower income immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster for "special days." But we also understood the White House should not look like the inside of Red Lobster. It's condescending to assuming working ppl are culturally illiterate bc their experience is shaped by their limited means.

I have a friend who is a social worker doing the same work as this social worker. She has also told me stories of women like Amy Acton's mother.

When the Dems return to power. they must say no to impunity.We need a moral and legalreckoning.

I'm asking my fellow Jews in Michigan to help elect the first Muslim American to the U.S. Senate—a devoted dad, a scholar, a visionary thinker, and a genuinely good dude. Let's be the people we hope others will be. Islamophobia and antisemitism feed the same beast. Let's starve that MFer.

Don’t put off until tomorrow what you could do today, like starting a rumour about a mysteriouly gloomy & beautiful creature who haunts the forest north of town, and then becoming the reason that rumour is true.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Kushner fired back on Twitter that Matthew Cole's book is full of lies. His lawyer called the claims fantastical, like a TV drama. Neither threatened to sue because that would mean discovery. Bottomline: Dutch intelligence confirmed Kushner is dangerously corrupt www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Enormous news. A melanoma vaccine, one of the most deadly cancers out there. Science is good and helpful and there should be more of it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Pay attention to everything

"Only the strong survive" is dumb and outdated. Let's try: - only kindness should thrive - only zombies revive - smart folks always archive - cats should never drive

He just falls asleep like this and it’s like…I know.

YES YES YES YES YES (yes!)

Why is this student so upset about the mushroom, though? What could it have done to make her protest across the whole continent

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

If there were any justice in the world, every day would be #WorldWombatDay, but today is the official day to celebrate these glorious creatures that crush their enemies with their buttocks, dig burrows tens of metres long, constantly regrow their teeth, have babies called wombatlets, and poop cubes.

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

Absolutely. 👇

The song linked in the next skeet is amazing, and I listen to it on days when the f*ers seem to be winning.

If you prepared your patch properly, by now your pumpkins should be: - humming softly - levitating a little - vibrating to an internal rhythm - murmering dark incantations to the elder gods - smelling faintly of sulfur and eldritch madness

I was sexually abused as a child. I'm not the only person I know who can say that. If I'd been forced to let ANYONE perform that sort of examination in order to play sports, a thing children need for health--both physical and mental? I am not unique. Vote no on unnecessarily traumatizing our kids.

if you refuse the opportunity to vaccinate your pets then you are too stupid to be responsible for your own life, much less anything else’s

Cats by Shou Xin

Your daily affirmation: You get to define what success looks like for you. Maybe it looks like a feral swamp creature from an old folk tale curled up on a sofa with tea, a croissant, and a battered library book.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence This is what we really need to thrive — not flying cars or AI or giant data centers.

Remember. No matter where you are in life or what twisting path you're traveling down, you're never too far away from a mossy haunted cottage waiting in the forest for a new sacrifice. I mean friend.

Toe-tally enchanted by this precious pup 💚

SCOTUS has repeatedly refused to hear cases reviewing the mess that has been made of qualified immunity which insulates police ofcrs from accountability for brutality,but has decided to prioritize the all-important rights of moonshiners on its docket this year. www.courthousenews.com/scotus-takes...

It doesn't need to last two years if we go hard enough in the first one. But it would need to be a Sherman-level March to the Bottom Of the Grift or Heritage Foundation campaign. If you even blinked at cruelty, bigotry, or corruption, you're removed, charged, indicted, convicted, and sentenced.

Co-signed! That’s what libraries are for, and they do pay us! Never apologize!

My policy continues to be that because I can't guarantee that the link in the email asking me to complete cybersecurity training is not a phishing link, I will never click the link and thus never complete the training. Since adopting this approach, I have done zero trainings and saved a lot of time.

Travel is a good way to expand your mind. It's also a good way to find portals to other worlds, where the only data centers are ancient libraries filled with arcane knowledge and sleepy cats.

I’m glad alito put in writing that originalism has nothing to do with rigorous historical research and is in fact just him talking to his imaginary friends bsky.app/profile/audr...
