eahanks.substack.com/p/when-arend... The problem with “we need to stay and fight” is that by the time the BC/AD switch happens, it will be too late. It will be too late, but it will feel like it hasn’t even started yet — because we’re expecting fascism.

When Arendt Knew

Hannah Arendt was arrested by the Gestapo for going to the library too much.

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

2025 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From!

This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

In 1996 my mother and I drove from California to Florida, via interstate 10. Years after her death, I found her journal, and read in its pages something that sent me back to explore 2,460 miles. "The 10" is almost here. Pre-order here: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-10...

I fuckin love LA so much.

I know a lot of people like to hate on the city, but I don’t give a shit?LA rules.

At its core, Los Angeles is a proud blue-collar city with people from all walks of life. Then the creative black sheep from every family comes here to create together.

Friends took food to their local fire station and were told the move is to donate to the Red Cross. Lots of people lost everything but not everyone will be able to rebuild. www.redcross.org/donate/donat...
