Sorry, Trump, your support is collapsing and you’re panicking.

Right on cue, you’re deflecting from your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of “investigations" have found nothing.

Get your goons out of Minnesota.

This is Indy. He just made history as the first dog to win a major acting award. He won the Astra for Best Performance in a Horror or Thriller after starring in the supernatural horror Good Boy. 14/10 congrats Indy

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

If you happen to be looking for an alternative audiobook listening platform, there are many out there, including us at Libro.fm 👋

We aim to build community in many ways, including by supporting independent bookshops with every purchase you make—versus tearing communities apart.

This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

Know who really ruined the workplace?

A certain mega retailer who has put countless small businesses literally out of business.

One under-appreciated aspect of ADHD is that when you ask people random questions to figure out a gift for them, there is little to no follow up because they are used to you coming in hot from left field.

Writer pals, as we venture into “best of” list season, remember to focus on your other accomplishments.

That new draft, the books you’ve read to hone your craft…

Maybe the new thing you’re doing outside of writing (these are so important!)

Zero in on what you can control, and keep your head up. ❤️

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
