Reaching deep into the vault for this one - a classic scifi writer, one of the sleepers. Lovely vintage paperback. Just look at that cover! #booksky Check out this book at PangoBooks | Tower of Zanid | pangobooks.com/books/e1e0db...
Going through more books from my Book Aunt's library. This is a lovely volume - and I never knew Steve Martin collaborated with a cartoonist! #booksky Check out this book at PangoBooks | A Wealth of Pigeons | pangobooks.com/books/00a28a...
Book jewelry! This metal cuff bracelet was inspired by the Leigh Bardugo trilogy. Very delicate yet sturdy! #booksky Check out this book merch at PangoBooks | Shadow & Bone | pangobooks.com/books/4724bd...
The lines for @farmaid.org at Huntington Bank Stadium on the U of M campus in Minneapolis. Haven't seen a crowd this big since the Rolling Stones were here.
Love this for them. #GoFashLoseCash
Hey you know what time it is! It is Saturday night book buying time! 😅 Nearly 200 books listed, including book merch and all types of genres. New and vintage titles! Get yerself a treat! pangobooks.com/bookstore/li...
Speaks to my heart. 🥰
We have an antenna and get all the broadcast channels without signing up. The old fashioned way.
The censorship of Jimmy Kimmel is the latest example of the bipartisan legacy of deregulation and corruption that handed our media system to a few conglomerates.
Ew. Does he even have any connection to OK? This is just weird.
scotch eggs implies the existence of malted barley chickens
Love these!
He died on the 55th anniversary of his theme song's debut.
Disney+ website couldn't handle the surge of subscription cancellations... If only Disney+ had stood firmly by Jimmy Kimmel & fought back against fascism... Fascism is exposing the true colors & lack of integrity, etc of companies/businesses, people, MSM, etc. creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/st...
He’s really going full fascism now, openly threatening American citizens while attacking both the press and basic democratic freedoms. Once again, Trump tried to glorify his deployment of the National Guard in
In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.
BREAKING: At least 84 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn, including 69 people in Gaza City, hospital sources told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/i4tlc9
This is great! Will try to come soon.
Wow. Okay. That is enough madness for me today. Luckily, I can just shut off my phone. I feel for those who are caught up in this insanity.
The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it. (Published Dec. 2024)
Uniformed military asking their chains of command for letters absolving them of personal liability for illegal actions? NOW what timeline are we in?
Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.
Why on EARTH would anyone think that a person who is currently trying to conceal his activities with a human trafficking ring has any concern about investigating human trafficking? Honestly. Enough with the round ups.
I thought he was in with the tech bros? I don't see the end game here. We do not have the people to fill these jobs! Does he think they will suddenly appear? Is it that whole 'foreigners are stealing our jobs' thing?
Oh I see. It is okay to applaud violence if you are *checks notes* a right wing soulless husk of a person. Okay. Good work, indeed. I do not often rise to the level of hate, but I hate this meatbag mouthpiece.
So what does he think will happen now? Doing this directly after the South Korea/Hyundai fiasco disaster debacle is an interesting choice. I assume it takes effect immediately. Because nobody plans for months to take a job in a foreign country, and employers spend zero $ on recruitment. 🙄

Actually, since this shitshow of an administration wants this effective immediately, I DO know what will happen at the ports. 🧵🧵🧵
Interesting
Call your senators about this. No, Schiff and Padilla were never going to sign this resolution, but seven senators is more than I would’ve expected a year ago and that means pressure works. So call your senators, because it takes 3 minutes total and it’s more effective than posting about it.
Wow. This is incredibly important to know. Beware, women.
It's Lions Eating Faces. It is companies introducing AI at the cost of the environment, neighborhoods, whole towns. It is people not being able to find any entry level work. It is students who cannot string together a sentence. It is kids committing assisted suicide. AI is NOT YOUR FRIEND.
I am STUMPED. And really, I do not understand why companies are so keen to push AI. Employees know it will steal their jobs. Does management somehow think it won't steal THEIRS? It is just like people yelling about deporting immigrants who can't believe it when they lose their barber, baker or...
This public comment ends TODAY!
When John McCain died, the GOP Senate lost its moral center. I wish he were here today. They listened to him.
😂
Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target
Very beautiful day to be very briefly in DC. Between things, stopped in at the National Archives to see the display of amendments in the Rotunda, w obligatory look at the signed parchment copy of the Constitution. Still a booster for Article 1.
Welp. 😬🇺🇸
“Disney is run by human beings. Some of those human beings are cowards. Those cowards don’t want to be named and shamed, and if you do that effectively, they will shift their behavior.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Cancel fascism and reinstate Kimmel: indivisible.org/government-c...
Thank you, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And i would far rather worry about this. Sigh. *than whether or not the First Amendment is dead
Ahhhhh yes. Okay. Whoosh. There it goes. Godammit.

Cancel your Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Subscription, and then show up to a protest this Sunday at Noon! We are calling for people to mobilize this Sunday to their local ABC Affiliate - find your local ABC Affiliate by going to boycottdisneyabc.com #boycottdisneyabc
Do a little weekend treat shopping! I bet you can find something that speaks to you - that childhood favorite, the one you remember the cover but can't quite recall the title, that book that got you through college, the one that made you cry or think. So much variety! pangobooks.com/bookstore/li...
What a fucking nightmare.
Oh the good old days.
Exactly this
Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.
ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel. This guy has a point. www.comicsands.com/american-dem...
I did not know the Spelling Bee had a booklist!
I wish they would quit saying "Charlie Kirk comments." It wasn't what he said about Kirk that got him pulled. It was showing a video of Trump pivoting away from Kirk. It was all true, and it was funny.
for people who love to keep a coal plant running against its will they sure hate canaries
Ha I think I remember hearing that. Maybe that's why I've never read it. 🤷♀️
I have never read it! Starting soon.
And it will only feature white athletes. No one with an accent will even want to come here. Certainly no one with black or brown skin. There is a part of resistance that says They aren't going to scare me! But I would not expect anyone to risk ICE detention. Heart breaking for athletes. 💔
Congratulations to all of the amazing photographers; the bar continues to be raised. www.audubon.org/magazine/202...

Here’s all the ways you can take action against Disney, ABC, Sinclair, and Nexstar for silencing Jimmy Kimmel and attacking free speech. Share WIDELY. #BOYCOTTDISNEYABC
🚨Mayor of Portland, OR, taking formal action against ICE for violating rights of residents. 👏🏻More👏🏻Of👏🏻This 1/2
Jimmy Kimmel wasn't suspended because of what he said. He was suspended because the FCC threatened his employer. That's state-sanctioned censorship and it is a GIANT RED FLAG 🚩🚩🚩 that authoritarianism isn’t *coming* it’s ALREADY HERE. Today it's Jimmy. Tomorrow it's the rest of us.
Okay I can get behind this.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
A man very recently called for “involuntary lethal injection” for the mentally ill and the unhoused. Literally talking about murdering other humans—and he still kept his job. Brian Killmeade, Fox & Friends.

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.
Omg yes. Bob Crane was one of my first crushes. Had no concept of age back then. Watched this after school. Probably junior high?

I had not heard of that one. Highly recommend all these books! #booksky
During the European campaign of WW2, American troops would leave this character to let the NAZIs know that they were everywhere. Kilroy is beginning to pop up in public spaces. He is the call for & promise of liberation. He is hope. He is everywhere. Kilroy was here.
former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."
I actually made my hands a bit difference, little semi circles with the fingers pointing down. Either way. He is always recognizable.
Are racists really so worried about brown and black people having a better life that they are willing to let the rest of us live in a police state, including them? Do they not see that includes them? Do they think the things and people they care about will ALWAYS be exempt?
So this is everywhere. Does it matter? Sure. But I am glad that my sources have taken up the media conglomerate problem. The Kimmel situation highlighted that. Probably exactly what they didn't want. That merger needs to be stopped. Enough consolidation.
KAINE: Were you instructed by the secretary of HHS to not speak to senators? MONAREZ: I was instructed to not speak directly to senators KAINE: So Senate-confirmed CDC director instructed not to speak to senators
I have not read Parable of the Sower or Brave New World. But I just picked up a copy of BNW. But yeah. The writing is right THERE.
Oh crap. Just looked it up, and Tegna is part of that merger. Which owns my local NBC affiliate. I will have to look up the rest, but why bother, I don't want to watch ABC or CBS anyway. How do I protest this merger??
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Seems Brendan has a different opinion now.
The context here, of course, is that the “local broadcasters” Carr is egging on are actually huge conglomerates with a pending merger before his office that would give them (and him) vast control over all broadcast television stations
I am so tempted to go. Heard Dylan was going to make an appearance!
Seeking out small beautiful things, especially in nature, is akin to gratitude practice with the positive effect it has on anxiety & mood. Some small beautiful things from the last few days, in case you’re scrolling & feeling low or stressed🌿:
THIS. IS. HOW. IT'S. DONE. ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌
Surprisingly easy to draw: Start with the nose, then the fence on either side.Then the head, a simple semi-circle. Then add the sausage fingers on either side of the nose. Then draw your eyes, ovals that lead into the nose on the inside. Give him some eyeballs. Voila! Used to draw him all the time.
I think it's high time we brought Kilroy back. When I was a kid, my Dad watched a LOT of WWII TV. Therefore, so did I. I started drawing Kilroy all over the place. I was a doodler. I have not thought of him in years. Yet here we are. I love the idea of co-opting a signal from soldiers to Nazis.
Nothing about us without us. We're at today's House Oversight Committee hearing about DC to make it clear DC communities don't want Congress's interference in our judges, prosecutions, sentencing, or police. They can't talk about our communities without expecting to hear from our communities.
