I’ve been going to hot yin yoga every Tues, and while I cannot say I enjoy it while in it, it’s been a good exercise for my brain in sitting with discomfort, and I always sleep incredibly well after. This post brought to you by an annoyingly productive and clear-eyed morning after yin last night.

Unanticipated downstream effect of the conglomeratization of book publishing.

all of us just watched these university admins wield enormous power against palestinian student orgs, including unaffiliated ones, so these excuses land flatter than ever

Dolly Parton knew what it was like to struggle as she fought for working families her whole career. From providing free books to kids to giving working women our "9 to 5" anthem, she was an icon and an inspiration. Rest in power to our union sister. We will always love you.

I do not usually feel any real way about celebrity deaths but this one hurts. As a working class kid and a firm believer in the power of literacy and access to books, what a loss. RIP Dolly, national treasure.

Nothing like a bat in the house to get the hear rate up. (It’s gone now thanks to us opening doors and windows.)

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Real feel of 107 at 10:30 am in the Hudson Valley. The AC at the Pilates studio broke this am so we had unintentional hot Pilates class at 9am. About to take the pups to our friends’s pool for respite. Stay safe and hydrated, my northeast peeps.

I hate penalties, but I am so excited for Paraguay! 🇵🇾

The Zlatan and Thierry just VIBING, with Lalas only featured long enough to get got. I love it. Right into my veins.

😂😂😂😂😂

The Knicks won their first NBA championship in more than 50 years, and the city welcomed it in true New York fashion: extravagantly. See more photos and videos of the celebrations here. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/n...

I’m spending a chunk of this coming week in NYC, heading in tomorrow, and cannot wait to soak up the Knicks championship energy. Best city on earth. 💙🧡

Yessssssssss! 💙🧡

Yessssssssss! 🧡💙

My nerves are FRAYED. #knicks

This is now a Karl-Anthony Towns stan account.

LET’S GOOOOOO! (This is a Knicks skeet.)

It is great to be in NYC when the Knicks are on fire. Everyone is wearing gear and strangers are talking to each other and fist bumping. Good energy and good antidote to all the other mess.

My dad died of pancreatic cancer at 65. 7 weeks from diagnosis until he died. This is an amazing breakthrough, and I hope it leads to even better treatment (and that the government starts funding research again someday when TFG and Brainworms are gone) : www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

I would like for no newspaper to write any story about how we are ‘nearing a deal’ with Iran ever again. I’ve been reading a version of this headline in every major paper every other day for months and it’s some real Lucy pulling the football away shit they’re participating in.

My Arsenal fan husband cannot even be happy about the win yet because of how stressful that match was.

This is so well said. It’s all fandoms, and also just that the social contract of how to behave in public spaces is utterly broken.

Welp, 90 degrees last Thursday and low of 25 tonight. Hung some burlap over the peonies, which already have buds on them, and will hope for the best.

I bought canned pineapple for a recipe and it said No Sugar Added, which I (naively) thought meant the pineapple would just be in its juice but no, it is in fucking Stevia syrup.

New in Bolts: Chris Taylor’s win on Tuesday expands liberals’ majority on Wisconsin’s high court and locks it in through the next presidential race, when new lawsuits could challenge voting access.

Priorities. Universal pre-K costs about $190 B a year. The Big Beautiful Bill contained $4.5 trillion in tax cuts.

Flowers in the Attic (age 10), Stephen King’s IT (age 11) and then Pet Sematary (12). Basically all of the Gen X precocious reader kid classics.

Should we… not already be complying with all of these things? JFC.

This thread on Alito's outrageously misrepresentation of the facts in the NY voting rights case is so damning. Alito's account was misleading to the point of falsity. And there's nothing anybody can do about it. He gets to toss around bogus claims without any consequence.

Friendly reminder: This is all unconstitutional.

Call your reps about this illegal act of war. I know it feels pointless (I mean, Schumer is one of my reps, I get it) but we have to keep trying.
