When I am old and gray, I will remember the Week 18 Browns-Ravens game as the game Michael Pierce got his first INT.

Reading diversely is a goal I’m working on—my 2024 stats show I can do better. POC, queer, and disabled authors deserve more love. Try a book by an author or protagonist who doesn’t look like you—every genre, every vibe. Also, backlist books deserve better! Keep them alive!

I get wanting to do more, but calling reps from out of state *really* does not help & often backfires. See the image from @celestepewter.bsky.social on why.

Using @resist.bot you can create a petition & share it so everyone can use it. The best is to find local groups or orgs & volunteer to help

The Deep Roots of Deportation
In a divided political climate, many now hold their breath, waiting to see if deportation rhetoric becomes reality.

A dystopian novel that had me hooked and didn’t leave me spiraling into more post-election anxiety…chef’s kiss.

Finally watched "Homicide: The Movie" after finishing the series. Visibly cringed every time a character referred to the city as "Balto" (Munch and Bolander: 'well, we're back in Balto')...my fellow Baltimoreans, that was never a thing, right? #HLOTS

I want to talk about my trans son, the other trans people I know and love, and the need to fight for their rights. But I keep just circling back to this more basic statement:
“No voting on who gets to be people.”

Now is an excellent time to get (re)acquainted with Resistbot. I’m an epidemiologist who has worked in public health research for 20 years. RFK jr is a dangerously unqualified person who is openly threatening our lives and liberty. I encourage you to speak out against his nomination.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.
