I can't stop thinking about how many men read that Snapchat and did nothing. How many men in that house knew a woman was being gang raped and did nothing. This is why we say all men. Bc it's your friends, your besties, your fellow frat bros and you do nothing to stop them.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

FUN FACT! A ton (if not most!) Indigenous languages don't have a word for "wilderness" because that's such a colonial concept There's only words for "home" and "the land (a living being)". Land is always doing what it's meant to, unless something like us is preventing it

The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for
Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:

A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

I’ll take this a step further and say, I believe we should be able to support an average-sized family on a single income at what we determine to be the minimum wage. A lot of Boomers got this. But for whatever reason, we’re considered ridiculous for proposing it.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting down while Green is bothering him, nibbling on the tip of Blue's ear with his teeth.
Blue: What are you doing?
Green: Nibbling your ear.
Blue: Why?
Green: Because it's there.
Blue: ...Where else would it be?
Green: Migrating to the other side of your head to escape the nibbles.

2h.

I got fired from AMC because whenever
someone ordered a small popcorn, I'd
"accidentally" fill up a large bucket and tell
them we ran out of smalls.

Now I work at McDonald's, and you better
believe you order a 6 piece, you're getting
8 or 9 nuggets. Order a 10 piece? There are
at least 13 in that box.

l'll keep doing this sh*t until the day I die.
F_ck these giant corporations. I'm here for
the people.

I’ve covered Islamophobia for years. Trump's GOP has taken it to a new level.
The shocking vilification of Muslims is one of the most troubling storylines of the midterms.

The harder the world feels, the more we need to carve out moments to observe our growth and our joy. And the more challenging it can be to accept it from elsewhere. I still have room for 30 people in this year's poetry project. I promise, accepting joy is not creating burden. Get yours.
