The sheer level of destruction is evidence of an intent to wipe out the ability of a population to live - that is, meet, collaborate, produce. (and also look at just how many lean-to and temporary tents are along the coast)

I don't even know what to say. Human suffering, real torment and suffering, is not a joke, much less when you're the one causing it. It's just disgusting and hard to fathom that we're still capable of this.

Just learning that Duncan Sheik died. His song, "Barely Breathing" was big during a pivotal period in my life. Only 56. He was 26 when it was a hit, I can't imagine what that's like. He went on to a career as a composer. Too soon for the 90s to be slipping away. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/s...

On the shores of Lake Michigan this weekend, we said goodbye to Alexandra "Hoon" Calhoon and Bjarne "Colserra" van den Bogard, two people we are grateful to have had the chance to love. They are so deeply missed.

We said goodbye to @colserra.dev tonight on @queercraft.net. I still can't quite get myself to believe it. One minute it feels real and I'm angry at the universe, the next minute I'm sad, and then I spend most of the time in complete denial struggling to believe it's real. 🧵

It's official 🥳 Income Tax Fairness is on the ballot! Right now in Colorado, a nurse or teacher making $50K pays the same rate as a millionaire or giant corporation. Under Initiative 195, 97% of taxpayers get a tax cut, & no one under $500K pays a penny more. #copolitics @protectcofuture.bsky.social

Finally made a donation, and I don't know why I didn't expect the sweet note, but there it was. 🦋 I hope many more generations to come know Dolly as the book lady.

Beau,

Thank you so much for your monetary gift to support my Imagination Library. This program is so special to me and I am thrilled that it is special to you, too. My Daddy was the inspiration for the Imagination Library and he told me many times that out of all of the dreams I had fulfilled, this program was the one thing that made him the most proud of me!

Your generosity will help us continue to grow this program so that we can gift books to more children to inspire a love of reading. We have surpassed over 2 million children receiving books each month but we have dreams to do more!

Your support will help give those dreams wings, along with the generous help from our local partners who manage the program and raise funds to support it in communities around the world. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Together we are going to keep dreaming and keep growing!

Love,
Dolly

God, what a beautiful person.

Dear Imagination Library Graduate,
My, how time flies. It seems it was only yesterday when your family and friends read you your first story. You were just a baby. Now you're five years old and about to go to school. How exciting!
This may be your last book from my Imagination Library but you have to promise me you will keep on reading. If you go to your local public library you will find a great number of books just for kids your age. Every book is a treasure and every time you open one up you will meet new friends and take wonderful journeys to magical places.
I hope you have a great time in school. I bet your school will even have a library where you can check out books. You and all of your friends are very special. There is no limit to what you can do or how far you can go.
Just remember the lessons my family taught me - dream big dreams; learn everything you can learn; and care for all those who care for you. You do all of these things and you can be anyone you want to be.
You are terrific, and remember...
I Will Always Love You,
Dolly

What can even be said that isn't said every day by millions of people? Israel, at this stage, is a terrorist state. They have become the very thing they wish to destroy. This isn't a hot take, the evidence is there for us all to see.

Many of my friends know that I grew a balcony vegetable garden last year and had great success. This year I decided to start from seed (indoors) to save money. I've nursed these little bastards for weeks and weeks. Grow light, starter trays & mix, heating pad, outside and in to harden them off. 🧵

There are six Michael Jackson songs on the Billboard Hot 100 right now and 17(!) on the Global Top 200! The number one song globally is "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" is #5. If you haven't seen Michael yet, it's worth a trip to the theater. I saw it a few days ago and it's sticking with me.

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

@MatthewKeysLive
Paramount is apparently trying to suppress copies of "Only in Monroe" from appearing on other social platforms by filing frivolous copyright notices, even though the show was produced by a public access TV channel and doesn't use their intellectual property...

Screenshot of email, " Dear Beau,

Our records show that you have a pending application for the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan to repay your federal student loans. As a reminder, a court order ended the SAVE Plan. Your student loan servicer will soon deny your SAVE Plan application. You must select a new repayment plan, or your student loan servicer will automatically move you into a different repayment plan."
