To my friends in Gaza, so sorry I can’t donate to all of you. All I can do is share your campaigns and i’ll do that the best I can.

To everyone else, imagine the indignity of having to beg on social media apps. Sharing helps visibility if you can’t donate and please don’t report them as spam.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

Where is this octopus off to next?? I'm so curious to know what he's up to!!
I guess Quillbert tired himself out from all that swimming and hopped on a train for the next leg of his book-related adventure. He gave me another hint about what he's up to, though! He said there's someone he's trying to help out?

With the rise of AI in kids' literature, a good board book could become one more educational advantage that accrues disproportionately to the elite.
AI is coming for your toddler's bedtime story
Artificial intelligence poses an increasingly real threat to children’s literature—and children’s learning.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”

“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
‘Brazil is not her home.’ Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, brought to US as child, detained by ICE. - The Boston Globe
Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

somehow it's "hoarding" when I keep my old tech as long as possible and resent forced obsolescence

but not "hoarding" when billionaires and tech companies suck up all the money and burn though the planet in search of endless growth
stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

What's cooler than a world-traveling cephalopod!? I'm on pins and needles over this book news!
What the - Quillbert was just in Pennsylvania, USA. How did he end up on this gorgeous New Zealand beach?!
When we asked, he said he's heard there's some hints about his book-adventure here. Or maybe someone who's making books?

I'm not sure how much more transparent I can be. 🤷‍♂️

These goals will close in 8 days. There will still be ways to send tips, but I will not be able to actively ask for them. If you can, please help now. 👌

Transgender Awareness Week has closed already but in therapy today my therapist confirmed in her professional opinion that since coming out I am absolutely happier and healthier and better adjusted so here’s a massive FUCK YOU to the haters

idk what sort of beings he's trying to summon but I never doubt the word of a cephalopod. Plus NEW BOOK what's not to love??
Hello, friends! We came across this fellow, and don't quite know what to make of him. He calls himself Quillbert, and says that he's on a crucial mission to investigate some exciting book news. I'm not entirely sure where he's from, but this news does sound exciting...

The only appropriate punishment for these ghouls is the wall.
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

I’ve used it as an answer before but once again hyping IRON WIDOW for an example of characters turning villainous.

It’s every bit as glorious as Zetian deserves.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

The only genres I refuse to read is Christian fiction/nonfiction and anything written by fascists or promoting fascism.

These are off limits because of the significant danger to any of the public who might be within range of flying books when I chuck the thing away from me.

The thing with car culture is that you create a social model where every human being is, by default, disabled and cannot meet their daily needs without a mobility device. People have a relationship to their car more akin to a wheelchair than to a train. That's a problem.

if youre trans and youre struggling to justify why you as a person should be allowed to take up space in the universe just consider that by your sheer existence you make a lot of the worst people on earth mad enough that they will die early deaths from stress. so thats a p good reason

In all the conversations about migrant rights, remember the children—many of them undocumented—who labor alongside their parents to put food in your grocery stores. They have no protections or rights, working invisibly for pennies.

When I see people saying "oh I don't want to do what TOURISTS do I need to do what the LOCALS do" I want to ask: go to work? go to the grocery store? watch Netflix after a long week?

I mean sure, get advice from locals on what to eat and where but sheesh
