Another wonderful article by Jess DeCourcy Hinds and I am happy to see so many librarians that I’m honored to know, being recognized!

There’s no way that many people are stealing Q tips and Tylenol! Then there was some lady in the next aisle complaining that everything must be locked up “because of the Mexicans.” Needless to say I got served first…

A $12 nail clipper set, for which one now has to call an employee who doesn’t want to be there any more than you do.

Lost sales from this nonsense has to cost brick-and-mortar stores WAY more than they would have lost in theft. Can only assume it’s more venture capital slow-mo sabotage…

Amen. The weird, funny, surprisingly heartfelt X-Files episode “Small Potatoes” is the reason I became a TV writer!

Love the hell out of a spotlight episode! Almost always my favorite of the season…

A very fluffy white cat with green eyes and enormous pink ears sits on a wooden cat tree, staring out the white shutters before her.

Mournfully watching the kids head off to school like the wife of a Victorian sea captain. Whoever will refill her already full food bowl? Who will take her outside on her little cat leash to watch the butterflies?? #catsky

"I used to believe, as I was taught, that literacy was primarily about decoding text. But watching how people actually learn and think has convinced me that literacy is about something deeper: the capacity to construct and navigate environments where understanding becomes possible."

Wow, this is incredibly interesting! It also aligns with my experience as a dyslexic writer, a former teacher, and a mom of two teens who process information very, very differently from one another.

A large white truck with a “Cats USA Pest Control” logo on the back. Additional signage lists the fact that the business has been operating since 1972, a phone number, and the number 358, as though this is the 358th cat owner/operator on the road for the company.

To add a touch of whimsy to my day I’m picturing this business as 100% cat owned and operated. Cat driving this truck. Cat who comes to your house in overalls. Cat who answers the phone when you call the number but is difficult to understand, on account of being a cat. #catsky

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

If I hear one more Very Privileged Person tell me it’s “hopeless….” You’ll be fine. But lots of people won’t. So put on your big kid pants and go help the many, many activists on the ground who are probably already doing useful stuff in your area.

You know who won yesterday? People who have been protesting & mutual aiding & rapid responding & boycotting: it is those actions that helped shift views on ICE/DHS & with it eject Dem collaborators w regime in NC & shift others running toward the correct position that there is no "reforming" evil.

The combination of immaturity, incompetence, and sociopathy is both horrifying and exhausting.

This is why you don't let tv personalities do defense.

Let's be clear: this is going to result in radicalization and blowback, and any person with a genuine knowledge of defense would know that.

Good morning, fellow fishes. May you find whatever version of you is necessary to face the day. #Pisces

When I tell you that systems built to erase or punish trans folks—especially before they become adults—aren't rooted in "protecting" anyone, but in the imperative to maintain male supremacism (aka misogyny), and that for men to be dominant, it must be clear who and what a man is.

The SAVE act will screw over anyone who's ever changed their legal name for any reason, including marriage. It will create extra trouble for every trans person. Tell your electeds absofuckinglutely not.

My neighbor’s ELEVEN dogs have been barking for the past 4 hours and it shouldn’t be cumulative but I really do feel like I’ve just listened to 44 consecutive hours of barking…
