The cardinal in charge of leading the Catholic Church rn is named Kevin?

KEVIN 💀

What is parenting like? Have you ever played one of those infinite task games, where every time you complete all the tasks there is somehow a new level and it never seems to end?...

It's like that. Except there are jokes, games, treats and sometimes someone throws up on you.

I am so obsessed with this stack I got over the weekend. Sci-fi, epistolary horror, and magic realism 🤌🏻

Like all new books I'm convinced they'll fix me 😌

“As the living conditions of displaced people worsen, their desperation increases, and that desperation is precisely what drives thousands of local inhabitants to scrounge for cobalt in hazardous conditions on the land they once occupied.”

My kid has his bookfair this week.

I still believe, and I'll die on this mountain, that the bookfair is just the bookstore starter pack.

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.

CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.

Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.

MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.

We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

Not a hot take, but Musk has been open that he believes we live in a simulation. All the harm he is causing isn't REAL to him... Bc WE aren't REAL to him. He is playing a game in his mind.

Scents that ground me and I wish had a candle of their own:

*Fresh cut lumber
*A fresh garden picked tomato
*Petrichor
*A summer night mountain campfire
*Puppy breath
*1980s library book (iykyk)

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Tomorrow there is a government vote to cut Medicaid. Which is used by mostly disabled, children, and low-income (or all combined).

My child is on Medicaid. Needless to say, I'm terrified and filled with rage.

In 1972 Doctor Who had an alien with two sexes where The Doctor corrected his companion about their pronouns. Alpha Centauri, my beloved.

Saying I'm obsessed with this series would be too casual.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you.

One book per day, in no particular order.

No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

No one is immune from disability. It can happen to anyone at anytime, regardless of how 'young and healthy' you are.

Stop believing you will be the exception, and start engaging in disability justice. It's far easier to fight for better support and treatment while you still have your health.
