El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

James Joyce is gonna read this and come back from the dead so he can publish Finnegan's Wake 2 out of sheer spite.

hot take: we should be writing books with accessibility in mind.

shorter chucked paragraphs and more approachable prose should be industry standard

Wildflowers and prickly pear cactus at sunrise on the Jackson Ranch near Lampasas, Texas. One of my own photos, taken in 2011.

Every now and then on a Saturday morning, I am flipping channels and I catch part of The Pioneer Woman on Food Network. She's always saying something like "Can you IMAGINE a COWBOY eating a VEGETABLE?"

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

I almost never blame the parents. Except in this case. In this case, I totally blame the parents.

Ted Turner: a reminder that our billionaires used to do cool things like yacht racing and trying to manage the baseball team they owned and starting various cable channels devoted to things like endless old movies and 24-hour news. The man was too busy to go fascist.

The Olivia Rodrigo single sounds like if Chappell Roan tried to write a Taylor Swift song, if that makes any sense. It's fine.

I live a trad life, living off the land simply, because living natural is the best way. If you want to know how to live off the land simply and without technology, please watch my TikTok videos and join the discord, I also stream on Twitch every Thursday where I scream at women who wear pants

Elderly Americans depend heavily on care work, and our entire care work sector depends heavily on the skills and labor of immigrants. When elderly Americans cannot get proper care, they are at risk of harm and even death. Regardless of their preferences about politicians or immigration policy.

I'm convinced that someone could be completely covered in snow, up above their head, and they'd find a way to pop one hand out to post "This is nothing. You should have seen...."

This dog was spotted politely waiting by a pizza truck. He doesn’t have to say what he wants. They already know his order. It is pizza. 13/10 (IG: lauren.bardini)
a vertical shot of a placid, cloudy day. on the left, a barren tree reaches up to the overcast sky. on the right, a boxy white food truck has parked with its little window propped open for business. you can just make out the word “pizza” in black curly lettering on the front of the truck. in the center of the photo, sitting squarely in the middle of a green bike lane, a rather large dog that resembles a golden retriever or great pyrenees is sitting patiently in profile, staring expectantly at the food truck’s window while basking in the glow of its lights.
