If you have a bigot or a fascist or a bigoted fascist in your life, go easy on them. They've had a really, really bad night.

I'm kidding. Eat shit, assholes. The people have spoken.

It may be a bit early, but I'd like to say, I hope your holiday season is filled with tons of weird local art, fabulous small business finds, a plethora of used books, inspiring live music, time spent with Nature, & many acts of kindness, love, and community service. #StarveTheSystem #FeedThePeople

“I don’t know about that.”

“I just saw a headline as I walked in.”

“I didn’t see it.”

“I was a little busy.”

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE and their owner is helping to develop military AI. Maybe hit that "cancel my account" button?

It’s time to cancel your account.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

If you're a writer, it's more important to keep books you hate around than books you love. Books you love have already taught you what they can teach you. Keeping books you hate nearby will teach you what to avoid and can bolster your confidence. "If this crap can get published then so can I."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
