Margaret Wise Brown constantly pushed boundaries—in her life and in her art.

Iran, please don’t! We were scared of the queers, blacks and browns, so the algorithm fed us a lot of AI generated slop made by neo-fascists and bots asking us to vote for a rapist felon in order to lower the price of eggs and gas by $2! You have to understand why we needed to LARP dog for Israel!

Praising the “prosperity” of the dictatorship while blithely ignoring its repression, a far-right manifesto in Spain is part of a larger effort—Platform 2025—to protest the government’s plans to commemorate the transition to democracy on the semicentennial of Franco’s death later this year.

In Spain, ultra-nationalist efforts to rehabilitate Franco extend the global right’s war on memory.

I don’t know what his layer was thinking lmao. Not only was there an admission of this, but when asked about a college-related assault, they denied it… just to then disclose and admit to an assault previously unknown and un-cited!!! AND serialized harassment in the past… my god…

The allegations against Brian Jordan Alvarez are pretty damning, but I wonder who is served by putting this behind a paywall. Definitely not the victim. Hope other publications pick up the story. www.vulture.com/article/bria...

Told a local in #Seoul that I loved his shoes in the elevator ride down to the lobby. Later that night, I was waiting for the same elevator and he exited with his wife/girlfriend and his face lit up, he pointed me out to her and whispered in her ear, then they both smiled. It’s a little things.
