About once a month I think about the girl from Bible Camp who, when we were 14 and forced to make name tag necklaces on the first day, made one that said “I 💚 YAOI” and managed to wear it the entire week after convincing the counselors she’d misspelled Yahweh.*

Anyone who says weed is bad is crazy because I just made a fried chicken sandwich with bacon fat mashed potatoes and red pepper flakes all on a hoagie roll and I would not have done that sober

We are knee deep in fascism and people are, in March (damn near April) 2025, starting substacks to… resist fascism??

You can’t do it. IT CANNOT BE DONE.

You can’t resist fascism when you pay 10% of your revenue to the Nazi bar which then literally pays revenue to Nazis. You’re buying Nazis drinks.

18F staffers- who were summarily fired en masse overnight- issue statement expressing shock, bewilderment:

"18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated."

For many an owl is a very bad omen. Please tag your photos so they can be properly filtered and your fun doesn't leave a bad mark on someone else's day.

Bird feed, please be extra conscious to use alt text with owl photos this Sunday to respect indigenous folks on this platform! 🪶
Remember as the big day for posting owl pictures comes up, if you don't have the world "owl" in the text of your post, be sure to put it in the alt-text of your image, so that Indigenous folks who mute the keyword can choose not to see it.

Share their names, their photos, make their lives as uncomfortable as possible.

"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."

MEMORIZE THAT. I'm serious.
Been listening to a podcast playing segments of an interrogation that lead to a false confession. I always want to leap through the phone screen and slap the cop involved in these things. And shake the interviewee and say “repeat after me: I want an attorney.”

Say it with us—a library loan is not a lost sale! 📚
Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.
I got it from my local library system, which has 28 physical copies (more than half are checked out) and 4 audiobooks. The branch library is two blocks from my house so I get most of my books from there. Hope this helps because I loved the book - I'm not a historian and knew nothing of that period.

4/ So, WHAT IS IT? Well, on Xmas Eve 2011 people started sending me photos of their sleeping arrangements, often compromised by there being Too Many People At The Inn And Not Enough Beds. I reposted them. A few years later it was given the hashtag #duvetknowitschristmas by someone funnier than me.
