was so much easier before google
Congratulations!!
and in doing so, proving it’s true.
Sorry for your loss Christopher.
We see you, America ♥️
Yes. Keep going! The only way out is through.
you may be entitled to compensation
Not for nothing, the character in Apocalypse Now that he’s quoting, Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore, spoke this line “I love the smell of Napalm in the morning” while he was in the process of committing heinous war crimes, murdering an entire village of Vietnamese civilians with Napalm.
Is he declaring war on an American city?
BELIEVE WOMEN
Not sure why people are so upset at the death of democracy. We hardly used it.
He can’t really be a Kennedy. He hasn’t succumbed to the Kennedy curse. i want my money back
it isn’t the size that raises the risk for women, but the production of estrogen. Men get breast cancer, but not nearly as often. they probably don’t produce enough extra estrogen via alcohol to increase their risk substantially.
There should just be an optional government issued menu for every household so we don’t have to figure that out every night.

Yeah, I think it’s human nature to try to get to complacency as fast as we can. And you say, for those that lean toward power and control, every reason to encourage us in that direction.
Stuck with it forever. 😕
it IS depressing! The remedy is to listen to some bruce springsteen, remember that we’ve been here before (over and over) and that they don’t win in the end. (it’s a shame we also always get complacent again tho too)
It’s just pandering to their extreme right base for continued political support. This is what the religious nutters want, along with mandatory puritan christianity and forcing women into carrying pregnancies against their will and relying on men to protect them physically and financially.
it really opens up the possibilities
We’re just an SS away from it…
PRAISE BE
Stay golden, ponyboy! 💛
Because rewriting is where the gold is.
LIVIN THE DREAM
This is what we created government to do for us.
This is literally what government was created to do. That is its function. And yet here we are.
Happy birthday!! 🎂
How do you reinvigorate your creativity when it flags? Author Emilie-Noelle Provost shares her methods and tips, today at WU.
Truth Bomb 💣
I wrote this about our wildfire summer and the particular anger that comes with so much good knowledge going unused as ignorance is leveraged. And included a snippet of reporting! www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
After months and months of watching the mainstream media sane washing absolute insanity, it’s so starkly RIGHT to see the truth spoken.
tellin’ it like it is! ♥️
Oh, thank the gods. Watching American society participate in the patently obvious delusion that what’s happening is normal was becoming painful to watch.
NEW CROP APPLES OMFG ITS HAPPENING
Snoop is an idiot. Many het families have two moms or two dads because of divorce. Is he crying about explaining that? No. Also, explaining ANY of it is ridiculously easy. “All families look different, but they’re all the same because they love each other.”
Fight the class war, not the manufactured rage-bait culture war.
This is a premise I want to read.
Not even metaphorically?
Apparently some folks are unaware that I have a YouTube channel, and I have been told that I should promote it, so here is my YouTube channel mostly full of political comedy but I'm pretty sure my old Survivor application video is on there too. Like an easter egg! www.youtube.com/@itsclarebla...
Either, really. But I just finished reading.
There should be a word to describe the specific hollow loneliness of finishing a book.
What if I told you that by sheer numbers, we are the ones who decide what’s allowed?
So heartening! 💙
Congratulations!
Thank you for your service.
Really appreciated this conversation with Adam Straus about THE SLIP for @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social!
Anyway, here's an article I wrote about eugenics. It's old now, so many more terrible things have happened. I haven't gone back in time yet to include them, which I'm sure will offend some, but, nevertheless. www.theguardian.com/global/2025/...
Good Morning Gays!
Where is our Canadian creativity? Dump it in a fountain at the White House? Fill a pool and bathe in it wearing bathing suits printed with Canadian flags? Empty the bottles in the US embassy’s lawn?
BLUE GRAPE SEASON IS HERE HOLY SHIT THIS IS NOT A DRILL
August has gone from feeling like gently swinging at the tip top of the ferris wheel to being on a high speed train with no brakes, crashing into September.
THE PEOPLE
Can confirm. #librarians #booksky
Bwahahaha every damn recipe has at least one nutbar like this in the comments I Didn’t Follow the Recipe, and I’m Appalled It Turned Out So Awful www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/i-d...
Thanks! I went on a deep dive because even though it isn’t something I buy regularly, I did have Great Value frozen shrimp in my freezer. The article says it was only sold 13 states, not Canada. Still tossing it.
I want to know how this was discovered. I’m going to guess using a geiger counter isn’t a usual protocol for food safety?
A lovely review of THE ART OF A LIE in Culturefly "If you love a slice of clever, witty and twisty historical fiction, then read this book. You won’t regret it." culturefly.co.uk/book-review-...
People, are you reading @premeemohamed.com yet?? LOOK AT THE AWARDS SHE IS WINNING, C'MONNNNN (congrats, Premee!)
@cbcradiocanada.bsky.social maybe you could start something with the power to draw us away from our screens? I’m begging.
Congratulations!!👏
No one else is!
Oh, I love that one. Trying to capture the vibe for my current WIP, actually.
Last night I watched The Long Goodbye (1973) and even though the story wasn’t directly about politics, I was struck by how similar the political situation then was to now. America, you’ve been here before and you said ‘fuck no’. Successfully! You can do it again.
Fuck this. Seed belongs to all of us. It’s our birthright. Monetize the labour of distribution of the seed or of growing and caring for the plant and bringing it to fruition, but no one should own the seed.
Every damn time republicans make an accusation , it’s a confession.
Media matters. That's why they attack it. My book on how Hollywood bent to various pressures of the federal government and allowed our cultural media to take on socially conservative messaging in the post-war, early Cold War period is available for pre-order. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/selling-ou...

We have been brought up in the lie that capitalism is the natural state.
Just preordered this! Can’t wait to get my copy. ♥️
Long live the libraries!
LOVE this idea!
To optimism! ♥️
Guns don’t kill people. Hoagies kill people. …or something.
Actual footage of a mother raccoon trying to wean her litter.
I demand he be referred to as The Hoagie Hero.
Your math isn’t right on that. Adding a second child doesn’t just multiply the work, it squares it. Two is exponentially more work than one. It just is. 😉
I mean… I’m pretty sure you’ll outlast him. Maybe when you’re famous you can hire him to drive you around or something.
I love these!! 😂
I saw! 🤣
Nice problem to have!
Hell on earth.
Is there a problem? I don’t see a problem.
snek fren was here we must now investigate this spot every walk in perpetuity
Woohoo!! Or should I say yeehaw?
I need to see this video immediately.
Yet more proof we did not descend from seals.
Wow! Can’t wait to read this!

Don’t be silly. Twilight was written by a woman.
The canon argument is ridiculous. The more diverse a writer’s experience and background reading, the more originality they’re able to bring to their work. The most important writing advice is to read widely. And not just within your genre.
If you see this, post a bad woman you love.
time to hit the streets
Yes! The ability to reason is our thing as humans. Why we would outsource that to a poor facsimile that requires so much energy to accomplish the task that it’s destroying our very habitat utterly defies reason. Yet here we are.
