Friend: I feel like we don’t talk anymore.

Me: Well, you tell me that I’m overreacting when you think a conversation is becoming too “political” and it’s usually a topic that really matters to me, so we might not have much to talk about for a while.

Just a reminder! If you're buying books in support of #BannedBooksWeek buying from Amazon undercuts the broader project of social justice supporting the right to read is a part of. Get your banned books absolutely anywhere else!

Amazon is the invisible backbone of ICE’s immigration crackdown

Lobbying dollars and a cozy relationship with the government have given the tech giant an outsize influence in the Department of Homeland Security.

In early August, the indomitable Chicago AIDS activist Lori Cannon passed away. She was an irreplaceable resource while I was writing The Great Believers, and inspiration, angel, and friend to thousands. 🧵

A person has zero creativity when they think the only song that represents America is “God bless the USA” 🥴

Mei @maybellinecdn.bsky.social · 20h

Are they still using that word? I’ve stopped watching cable news.

It’s the beginning of the end, and no too late yet.

Better late than Nuremberg.

MAGA is big mad at Zach Bryan for not being a fan of fascism.

They’re mad at Bad Bunny because they don’t know where Puerto Rico is.

Now I really want Bunny to invite Zach to perform with him at the Super Bowl.

I can’t pick one song of all time! My Swiftie friends usually agree a Top 10 list (in no particular order) is appropriate 😆

I do have a soft spot for the Reputation album because my daughter and I got to see that show live 🥰. She got last minute seats for Eras in Vancouver too 🤯

The GOP just has to keep blaming though, because (as Brene Brown says) the opposite of ‘blame’ is ‘accountability’…
