Is there interest in ordering another round of these stickers? 👀
a sticker on a utility pole with a few raindrops on it. A city skyline out of focus and a park in the background. the sticker has a white background with a black outline that’s reminiscent of a street sign. in highway gothic font it say: PART OF BEING NICE IS BEING MEAN TO FASCISTS in the center is a black power fist icon moving up and to the left. a “POW” cloud sits around it with yellow in the middle and a red outline to show some action.

Is there anything more useless than Pinterest’s content violation emails? “Here is a picture of the offending pin, so blurred you can’t tell what it is, and also a link to it, which doesn’t work because we suspended the pin. But I’m sure YOU REMEMBER the VERY BAD thing you pinned one time in 2015.”

Not only has he never looked at Don Jr. or Eric like this, he’s never been so happy to bask in JD Vance’s presence either.

He looks giddy. JOYFUL even.

"We don't deserve the trust of the nation if we're unclear about the divisiveness of swastikas" - an anonymous CG official, in the article.

A truly disgusting move from the CG, but not unexpected with the direction things have been moving since they removed ADM Fagan.

Do better, Coast Guard.

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Since I just finished proofreading The Quicksand Theatre Company, my upcoming novel, here is a celebratory glimpse of the main couple's first kiss!

Yes, Vai is a they/them. :)

The book!: mollyringle.com/quicksand-th...
🌈📚💙
Page of a book that says: An array of fireworks exploded, splashing colored light across our hill. Vai and I looked at each other, smiling. "Happy spring" I squeaked, and leaned toward them. "Happy spring" They moved closer. We balanced on our elbows. Our lips touched, a swift but silky collision, mint-flavored and much too brief. If there was anything I'd learned from rehearsals, it was that you got to do a thing over again if you knew you could do it better. "Awkward angle" I said. "Here. Maybe..." I let myself fall onto my back, on the mattress, and waited to see what Vai would do. Politely ignore me and look up at the fireworks? Lean down for a perfunctory kiss and then pull back to watch the fireworks? Those seemed the likeliest options. I was wrong on both. Vai pounced. Their torso slanted across mine, forearms framing my shoulders. They took my face in both hands and kissed me like they had no intention of stopping anytime in the next half hour. I hardly need to say I was up for it. Though I laughed in surprise for a sec-ond, against Vai's mouth, this was not a comedy kiss, a caricature of passion. Vai kissed like a lover from a drama. So I shifted to sincerity too. My pretenses fell away, and I kissed Vai with all the upwelling feelings they had sparked in me these past five months. Admi-ration. Friendship. Fondness. Desire. Love. I wound my arms around their back, sliding a hand up into their sleek hair. Tilting my face for a deeper fit, I kissed Vai like I was drinking them in, reveling in soft lips and lean muscles and the weight of their body on me. Fireworks whistled and burst, light flaring through my closed eyelids.

We know that wolves are extremely intelligent, but this is still surprising. This wolf was filmed pulling a crab trap out of the water onto land to get a snack.

At the outdoor seating of a coffee shop here in Seattle today I had a squirrel WHINE AT ME FOR CRUMBS. I look forward to Katie Wilson doing something about the entitled squirrels.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
