@DissentFu @longtimetohere This tweet should be printed & hung in the Smithsonian

@longtimetohere I don't think us poors are allowed to have cool fits? But I'm looking forward to post collapse style. I was thinking it'd be Mad Maxish but after Bangladesh I think there is going to be more Furry than I originally thought

Anyone else with high sentinel intelligence already passed the "holy shit!" stage and well into the "I wish it would just happen already" stage or is it just me?

@KerriArsenault Would love to know more, if you’re open to it. I’m a theatre PhD who’s been working in story in video games.

5/5 to address topics and issues and ideas in writing, editing, and trade publishing. Must be versed in these topics, teachings,and ideas to join our team. THE END

1/5 Hey ho, about to launch TESS 2.0 (The Environmental Storytelling Studio) and its website, and we have an incredible team of guest speakers, instructors, editors, agents, and authors. If this is something you are interested in being part of, reach out.

@fakedansavage Does anyone know if the current mpox vaccines protect against this new viral clade/variant?

And it’s a much deadlier form of the virus. Get vaccinated, guys.

If you can find your local Democrats office and volunteer to help register voters — please do!

As a musician who loves playing for all kinds of people, this sounds pretty great!

@sblackmoore As soon as the meds kick in

@CampMarmalade @fsgbooks I studied with him at Berkeley and had no idea then how lucky that was. Looking forward to reading this.

with a pang, tonight I finished reading this vast volume—the book ended because the letter-writer died—a life’s unfathomable incompleteness, even when filled to the brim with virtuosity and gusto—sex, poetry, more sex, loss, expatriation, leather, rhyme—

Omg

@Joekart @AnimalsRockOn @Mike_Hixenbaugh Root beer typo: fair. But people with “she/her” in their profiles likely know more about biases used against those who don’t fit narrow gender stereotypes than people who’ve never thought about it for a second except as a sad excuse to belittle strangers. Spot any typos?

@LauraJoySF @AnimalsRockOn @Mike_Hixenbaugh It’s the IBA you asshat. IBC is a root beer company’s People with she/her in their name trying to talk about a sport they’ve never watched a second of in their life until now… when it involves trans non-sense and, of course, Russia(!!)

Showing her birth certificate and family photographs to the media, her father said, “My child is a girl. She was raised as a girl. She is a strong girl. I raised her to work and be brave.” thetimes.com/uk/society/art…

@Joekart @AnimalsRockOn @Mike_Hixenbaugh The IBC banned her AFTER SHE BEAT A RUSSIAN BOXER YOU ASSHAT

This is not a left vs right, east vs west, whatever thing. It’s quite simple. These are nonsequitors. Is this boxer a female? If so, congrats to her. She was obviously blessed with great physical attributes and worked very hard. If not, let him compete against men. There is obviously some doubt about the situation given that the IBA (not a perfect organization but neither is the IOC) has banned this boxer. There is a simple test that can clear all of this up. And again, this is just about this individual. I want a simple sex test for all athletes (especially in combat sports!). Given that we test athletes for everything else under the sun, knowing whether they XY or XX chromosomes is not unreasonable.

As if you didn’t need another reason to vote in November, the next president will appoint the new Librarian of Congress. Make your voices heard friends!

Did you hear today is James Baldwin's 100th birthday? Do you feel like you should have read him by now? We have a chart for that! AND we made a James Baldwin page browsable by genre (since he was a genre-defying genius): roomofonesown.com/james-baldwin

@GavinNewsom What is wrong with you? People deserve support that works. This attitude and behavior is contemptible. No more excuses indeed.

No more excuses. We’ve provided the time. We’ve provided the funds. Now it’s time for locals to do their job.

This is horrifying.

@1goodtern Performed with my band onstage in a club. I drew scary teeth on the outside.

What is the most memorable thing you have done in a mask.

@HipHopAndHoodoo I definitely should be making jeweled talismans. And wooden thrones for witch queens, with intricate carvings and gems set into the wood under the full moon. Secret sigils under the gems that only the witch knows about

@epfeffin @macwrites Flawless 😆

@macwrites Happy to announce my new two-hander BIDEN HER TIME, opening September 2037.

People love to say stuff like this but I never seem to read, see, or even be aware of the existence of these plays they're afraid we'll write.

@JSTOR @UCBerkeley This is awful
