The best way to fight back against the Paramount/Warner Brothers merger is to support independent artists, journalists, writers, filmmakers, musicians and everyone else who has been walking a very hard path to putting things out into the world.

As I always say, I have very talented friends.

Deeply saddened by the news of Gloria Steinem’s passing. An incredible writer and an unceasing advocate for the rights of women, Gloria Steinem fought tirelessly for reproductive freedom, fair wages and women’s rights in the workplace, and gender equality across the globe. She will be missed.

oh yeah, in terms of good news- I haven't seen anyone talking about this??? In short- worst case scenario of 4C warming by 2100 is no longer possible, new worst-case is 2.8C now DOES NOT MEAN we just relax- the only way we got here is through hard work- but it means THE HARD WORK IS WORKING

I went to a cool library event today where you could try out old typewriters. I had danger levels* amounts of fun and wrote the organizer a little typewriter poem on the spot. * This might turn into a hobby.

Everyone, sign up! I did.
