This is huge news for people who love books & libraries. We should be talking about the fact that there’s one less book distributor in the world & it’s a huge one. Amazon wants you to stop getting your books & audiobooks from libraries. When libraries have fewer options for books, we all lose.

Love has ALWAYS been transactional. Women’s freedom to choose who to love and not having to love in order to survive is the only new development

Forgive me for being furious whenever my white colleagues seem to be able to commit all manner of journalistic wrongs and be rewarded with multiple income streams while I am left to wonder how the hell I'm going to pay my already exorbitant ACA premiums as I float my living expenses from my 401K

It’s giving:
A four panel comic all with a light blue background: 1st panel: A group of gray figures say “you do not fit in here” in a light purple thought bubble to three pink figures 2nd panel: The three pink figures are in a yellow window like space within the blue background. They say “okay we will make our own place” in a light green thought bubble 3rd panel: The gray figures encroach upon the pink figures in their new space and say “why are you excluding us”. The pink figures respond “oh no” 4th panel: The gray figures have now crowded the window space to where they completely fill in the space with the three pink figures pressed up in the front. The gray figures say “you do not fit in here”

Are you a non-Black person pissed at Bluesky leadership and feeling a little jealous of all the good vibes coming from Blacksky?

There are Blacksky adjacent options for you! Here’s info from the Blacksky migration guide!

docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to...
Screengrab from Blacksky migration guide: blacksky algorithms A Warning: Anyone else using a blacksky.app handle will receive a warning at first and then a suspension. Alternative PDSs for Everyone Blacksky Algorithms also operates two other PDSs that are open to anyone: • myatproto.social - Open to all • cryptoanarchy.network - Open to all These servers run on the same infrastructure as blacksky.app and are maintained by the same team, but are available for anyone to use regardless of background.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

White people literally have ALL of Bluesky to do what they want. They can literally create their own server and make it is United Colors of Benetton as they want.

According to ESPN, Game 1 of the 2025 WNBA Finals is now the most-watched Game 1 of the WNBA Finals in 28 years, averaging 1.9 million viewers and peaking at 2.5 million viewers! It also marks the most-watched WNBA Finals Game 1 in a series format. #WNBA #WNBAFinals
A bold ESPN graphic announces: “ESPN scores most-watched Game 1 of the WNBA Finals in 28 years!” (second only to the 1997 single-game championship). The Phoenix Mercury logo is shown on the left and the Las Vegas Aces logo on the right, with text in red and white reading: “1.9M Viewers | Up 62% YoY. Peak: 2.5M.” Below, another section highlights “WNBA Countdown presented by Google” with 626K average viewers, up 78% year-over-year. At the bottom, it states: “’25 WNBA Playoffs averaging 1.2M | Up 16% YoY.” The source is Nielsen Big Data + Panel.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.
Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads: “Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️” Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.
