I don’t want to jinx anything, and I am so grateful for them and their hard work and kindness right now, but I do think we can and perhaps should have a civil, candid conversation about the ceiling light at my emergency vet

Uhhh. I’d rather not describe it honestly. I’m sorry. Let the replies do it for you

reminder if you liked the book you can give me the one thing more important than money: voluminous words of praise. Obviously this doesn't apply if you didn't like the book. You can keep that to yourself

performing for and being paid by the evil head of state is different from just living in that country and performing a random venue there. you are stupid

This is just objectively true and the ubiquity of the latter interpretation was a factor in how I just assumed no one would give a shit about my depression as a kid

The Catcher in the Rye is about a teenager struggling with the grief of losing his younger brother to cancer and it's strongly hinted that the narrator has been a victim of childhood molestation or worse and everyone who takes that story and turns it into "rich kid won't stop whining" is illiterate.

Why does no one read the law

Emissary Of Night | ليلى @diplomatofnight.com · 8h

Arms Export Act and Foreign Assistance Acts both have provisions which explicitly state that the president has an obligation to suspend military assistance to a country impeding the delivery of humanitarian aid. The way the administration avoided this was by finding that Israel wasn't doing that.

When Biden violated US law to give Israel a thirty day deadline to comply with a series of steps in October 2024 I was assured by many people on here that he was finally going to impose consequences. Anyway Israel didn't comply with a single step and Blinken claimed they were in compliance anyway.

I thought this was lovely.

"A few years ago I received a DM from Zohran Kwame Mamdani. Only recently did I discover its existence. It was a very unusual DM—especially coming from a local assemblyman who would soon be running for higher office. He had very little name recognition at the time, and could have benefited from publicity. But unlike the thousands of messages I’ve received from people with something to promote, Zohran did not ask to be featured on Humans of New York. Instead he asked if he could introduce me to taxi drivers that were struggling beneath the burden of debt. Coming from a man with political ambitions, this self-denying request was so strange as to be almost singular. I don’t endorse politicians on Humans of New York. But I’ll endorse a good man. And it was a good man who cleared 30 minutes from his schedule yesterday to swing by Grand Central and visit Dear New York’s Vanderbilt Hall Exhibition. Nearly fifty-student artists were visiting that day with their families, and I thought a surprise visit from this widely-loved future mayor would be a special memory for all of them. Before Zohran’s arrival I was convinced I’d made a terrible mistake. The exhibit was filled to capacity with adult visitors. Dear New York is self-funded so there was very little staff and security for crowd control. In the crush of people I was almost certain this special day for the kids would devolve into thirty minutes of selfie requests. But everyone rose to the occasion."

"Hundreds of adults quickly cleared the room and stood outside the exhibit. Eleven very notable adult photographers are also featured in the show, but even they took a step back, so that these students could briefly have the stage to themselves. Each child stood by their work and Zohran was able to meet all of them, one at a time, and honor their contributions to the most-visited art show in New York City. Thanks to everyone who ceded the stage yesterday to make this moment possible. Thank you Zohran for literally sitting down on the floor so that these young artists could feel so tall. Thanks for continually centering other people in your life and work. And thank you, for being such an important part of Dear New York."

A large group of children and adults pose together indoors in front of a sign reading "DEAR." A man in a suit sits cross-legged in front, surrounded by smiling kids. The background features an ornate architectural detail.
