I gave a speech a few weeks ago about Korean lit from the publishers perspective and one of my points was "These guys help sell books!"

Because they do!

Shout out to the Naked Bikeride who today ran hundreds of naked people directly through the line of federal officers and effectively blocked them from assaulting demonstrators. Being naked on a bike goes on the list of effective tactics if you get at least 500 of them and the city loves you.

I’m holding space for the hostages, their loved ones who have been waiting every day for 2 years for them to come home, the rest of us who have held them all in our hearts, the people of Gaza who are being tortured again by Hamas, and anyone who simply wants peace. May Hashem be with you. 🎗️

I mean, I thought about this, too. What if Newsom ran for Senate and Padilla ran for gov. They'd likely keep it w/Democrats. Becerra is okay, but I wish ppl wld really look at Yee.

Thurmond isn't bad either.

But I'm not voting for anyone who isn't for the redistricting plan. We have to do it.

It's odd but true. Often, doctors, who should be in the profession because they are there to help people and should be intrigued by the process of diagnosis cling, very much, to fads and not actual science.

"By removing the need to think for oneself or to wrestle with distressing realities that make little sense and feature widespread suffering that we as individuals feel powerless to stop, ideology provides comfort, especially to those who benefit from existing inequalities."

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 17h

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists.

50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path.

This is what I've been saying for some time. Before Oct 7th, the ppl of Gaza were pushing hard for a new election and wanted to kick Hamas out as they didn't do shit for them. A ceasefire 2 state solution would have helped create that possibility.

Great. Consider yourself ratio'd. Racism and internalized misogyny sucks. If it's a badge of honor to kiss the ass of racists, leave me out.

Can someone explain like I’m five why grown adults are protesting Palestine at a private citizen? Do they think yelling at random people fixes foreign policy, or are they just practicing public tantrums?

Democrats In Array Thanks Joe Biden @demsinarray.bsky.social · 15h

Everyone who told you to support John Fetterman in that primary, is now telling you to support an ex-Blackwater mercenary with no voting record in the Maine primary.

When are you going to catch on?

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Really, what it means is ppl have to stop voting based on one issue alone, usually some foreign policy thing that we don't have complete control over.

The Trump ceasefire deal is the Biden ceasefire deal Trump begged Bibi not to accept in 2024 because it would've hurt Trump's chances of winning the election and I wish this was the first time a GOP candidate for president won by meddling in American foreign policy.

See: Nixon '68 and Reagan '80.

Happy Birthday Jimin!

Jimin’s birth flower is Bridalwreath spirea/Spiraea prunifolia var. simpliciflora. They have cascades of delicate flowers and symbolize neat and tidy love, perfect for our muse.

A slender branch with small white flowers with 5 petals running all along the branch.
