i am sick of “more monkeys jumping on the bed” discourse. it’s as though these people have no memory of 2017 when one fell off and bumped his head. doctor spoke out against it, mama endorsed doctor’s findings. i’m limiting replies to followers because i do not have the energy for YMMJOTBers today

Lol. If you ACTUALLY think about it, libraries are the backbone of nearly every (traditionally published) authors' sales. There are over 17K public libraries in the US, and 100k libraries of every kind. They *all* buy books. And sometimes buy more when the first set wear out! Libraries are AMAZING.
I once heard an author say that libraries were "government-sponsored piracy, if you really think about it" which convinced me to pay zero attention to that author going forward.
Thank you for supporting libraries.

The results of my investigation are shocking. If data brokers can help extremists target misinformation to patients at Planned Parenthood, right-wing prosecutors in red states could use that same information to put women in jail. Protecting Americans' private health data has never been more urgent.
A company tracked visits to 600 Planned Parenthood locations for anti-abortion ads, senator says
The details in Wyden's letter, sent Tuesday morning, reveal what’s believed to be the largest publicly known location-driven anti-abortion ad campaign.

important to remember that "teens might be encouraged to transition when they don't need to" will always resonate to these people more than "teens might be prevented from transitioning when they need to" because to them the latter category doesn't exist because they don't think trans people are real
You might think that an article about kids being fast-tracked into hormones and surgery would include a single example of a kid being fast-tracked into hormones and surgery but nope!

Safety is core to social media. Transparency is essential to building trust in moderation efforts, and the data we are providing here is a first step towards full transparency reports. We hope this provides some visibility, and we intend to deliver more granular data and reporting in the future.

If this app let us post gifs, right now you'd be seeing that gif of Bray Wyatt blowing out the lantern saying "we're here." That's the best we can do in terms of brand consistency.

The *actual* way to restore trust and sanity to a broken polity is for decent people to declare a no-tolerance policy for bigotry and reaffirm our commitment to truth.
It *should* suck to be an QAnon Moms For Liberty weirdo. Why the fuck would they ever stop if they weren't losing friends and jobs?
