Vote Nov. 4.
protesting was awesome.

now it's time to make sure we take this energy to the ballot boxes in New Jersey and Virginia.

Mike Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger are on the top of the tickets and would make excellent governors.

vote blue all the way down.

talk to your friends and family.

let's win.

In bookstores today, LOA’s one-volume edition of Octavia E. Butler’s Lilith’s Brood: The Xenogenesis Trilogy, featuring the classic novels Dawn, Adulthood Rites, and Imago. Genius works of Afrofuturism, they ask enduring questions about colonization, gender, technology, and the future of humankind.

I cancelled my Disney Plus Hulu subscription today. I commented on the feedback box that the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel was an un-American attack on the First Amendment and it served to undermine our democracy. Now I need to send that monthly contribution to my local PBS station.
Proudly canceled Disney, Hulu, and ESPN. And no I won’t be coming back if they reinstate Jimmy Kimmel. Damage done. You can’t unbend the knee.

Took my $30 and now contributing monthly to my local PBS. Feels damn good to take a stand. Even a small one such as this.

Correct. Again.
"No right was deemed by the fathers of the government more sacred than the right of speech. It was in their eyes, as in the eyes of all thoughtful men, the great moral renovator of society and government."

― Frederick Douglass, activist and author

Lone Women was one of my favorite books of any year. Love these wild new covers.
Me too.
Lol. I loved using these when I was a kid.
Yes!
The Nicholas Brothers are ALWAYS a treat to watch.
The Nicholas Brothers performed one of the greatest dance routines ever filmed— in just 1 TAKE!

Amazing...
The best. By far.
I adored the music of Tom Lehrer, who died yesterday at the ripe old age of 97. I wrote an appreciation of him here, with links to some of his best work. There is also a shout-out to Dr. Demento. www.rogerebert.com/tributes/lif...
