I want a million beautiful print books. But one thing that isn’t spoken about enough is how having a large library is a privilege that mostly people who own homes can afford. Last time we moved, my boxes of books were heavy af. Since then, I’ve been super selective, because we’re still renting 🥲

Fetterman Voted With GOP to Make Sure Trump Can Attack Iran Again

After Trump’s Iran attack, most Democrats rallied behind Tim Kaine’s war powers resolution in the Senate — but not John Fetterman.

People immediately pivoting to slot Lander into a progressive primary challenge are missing the implicit deal in the cross-endorsement: he's going to be deputy mayor, essentially COO of New York City. He's going to use his experience with the inner workings of government to help Mamdani deliver.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

As they take a break from dragging Black ppl (“DEI”) & Brown ppl (ICE) to begin dragging Muslim ppl (Islamophobia) please never forget the root of where this all truly comes from. Racism. Anyone—𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦—denying that is more of a problem than the people who house this intolerance & hatred in them.

The deconfliction negotiations window has ended, Iran has launched six ballistic missiles at the US’ largest base in the region. US and Qatar air defences intercepted the first volley. No casualties reported. Airspace closed. The Trump regime has called an emergency session.

Iran says they hit a base outside populated areas as they ‘want to de-escalate with America.’ Nobody wants to invade Iran and Iran doesn’t want to invade anyone. This war has shown that nukes and even warfare don’t work anymore in the modern world. 🤷 It’s Star Trek or bust!!!! 🔭 🪐 🧑‍🚀 🌙

I can’t beg you enough: please start caring about the long term environmental impacts of war on our planet. Just because the bombs aren’t going off directly in your area, it doesn’t mean you won’t eventually deal with the same environmental effects we’re all starting to experience worldwide 😥

J.K. Rowling is a menace to society whose anti-trans rhetoric is violent and encourages offline violence. Her telling people to take pictures of suspected trans women in bathrooms and disseminate them is sexual harassment. And it puts everyone in the women’s bathroom in danger.
