I just reached my goal of reading 50 books in 2025! Now I’m going to extend it to 100. Not sure what to read next. Any suggestions? Fantasy, romantasy, or horror recommendations please! #booksky #horror #fantasy #romantasy #books

It’s time for real Christians to get really loud about the rise in fake Christianity.

Thank you for thinking of me. That bill is going to affect so many. Republicans are awful people.

I had such a crush on him for a long time. He was so young to leave us. RIP Julian McMahon 💔

Really enjoying this one. It helps me to get away from reality for a time. #booksky #veschwab #vampires

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

So…

People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it?

Oh, my sweet summer children.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Sen. Tammy Duckworth just said on Colbert, "We should all live long enough to develop a disability," & the audience laughed uncomfortably.

I can tell you what they were thinking. It was "Not me. That would never happen to me."

& the underlying, unacknowlged premise was "b/c I'm better than that."

“When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.”
