If you follow me and I go to your profile and the only thing you post about is politics I probably won't follow you back. No offense intended, I just can't stomach a constant firehose of that kind of content.

"Perhaps someday you can have one city as easy to see as Illusions and as hard to forget as Reality," Milo remarked.
"That will happen only when you bring back Rhyme and Reason," said Alec, smiling, for he had seen right through Milo's plans.

I don't understand this "whole milk is back" thing. It's always been there. You could always have it. What is this even about

Hey listeners…
Something I keep coming back to is this —
we’re not always meant to fix what’s heavy.
Sometimes it’s enough to just stay present, keep listening,
and let something beautiful sit beside what hurts.
Music helps with that.
It gives our feels a resting place for a while.

I just wanna keep this safe
That’s forty ounces of faith
And not a drop was poured yet
That’s why I say
Love? Don't give me that.
Till I can give you something back
Why would I say no?
To my dream from forever ago
You want me to get up and go?
Let me pull back the curtain

MAGA glamorized the “mama bear” trope when they had white ladies yelling at trans kids or stealing books from libraries, but if you’re a mom trying to keep an armed creep in 5.11 gear from abducting a kid?

Apparently ICE goons in multi-car caravans are circling Spanish immersion preschools in the city taunting and photographing the parents and neighbors who are patrolling the school perimeter to keep kids safe.

There's a reason craft shows don't allow MLM booths. Conventions like this should take the same tack with fake, stolen, AI-generated trash.
GenAi has NO place at Comicon, ESPECIALLY at art shows!
By doing so Comic-con signals to older and newer generations of artists that their exploitation and replacement is worth putting on a pedestal.👎
Anyway here’s their email. Feel free to politely share thoughts:
