The fact there are not more famous pop stars with power and platforms doing what Dua Lipa, Massive Attack, Lore and others are doing in calling out Israel's genocide is disturbing. Like what's up Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, etc.? You who earn more than countries are ... what? Afraid? Of what? You suck

Random flashback to the time someone said they got me a birthday gift from my favourite indie clothing & jewellery store. It was clothes hangers. A set of 3 (albeit fancy beaded) clothes hangers. My expectations have been subterranean ever since.

There are certain unforgivable crimes, that your soul never comes back from, that after you've gone through with them you don't ever get to ask for a second chance. Nazism is one of them. This is a lesson that took way too much blood for us to now sort of casually forget.

Controversial opinion: kidnapping and imprisoning children is wrong and doesn't become "legal" because you wear a (fake) badge.
Boston judge orders release of 13-year-old held at ICE adult detainee facility
Boston judge orders release of 13-year-old from ICE custody
The federal court ruled the boy must be freed unless immigration officials can justify detaining a juvenile with adult detainees at the Burlington facility.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.
Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

I'm about to do it. I'm about to say "imagine if Biden did this." I don't want to but I must, because it'd be very funny. Imagine if Biden said his uncle told him how brilliant the Unabomber was a decade before he was identified. Imagine the very funny NYT push notification you'd get on your phone.

I don't fully trust anyone who doesn't adore libraries, especially haunted libraries. In terms of desired afterlife real estate, few places compare to library or bookshop. I am going to try hard to haunt my favourite one when the time comes. – #CJosiffe #Libraries #Ghosts
