This is an incredible opportunity for Indigenous scholarships, and they're hoping to get the word out more. Please share! kurtgrinnellscholarship.org/scholarship-...

This is not directed at any one person and is mostly a reminder to myself… Infighting is how the opposition wins. Infighting is a method of divide and conquer. Infighting prevents us from joining forces for good. We absolutely must check ourselves and strengthen alliances instead of infighting.

I don’t understand Gov. Beshear demanding Mitch McConnell prove he can serve as Senator or resign. After all these weeks with zero communication or legislative work of any kind, he’s already proven he can’t serve.

They're coming for us--one basic right at a time...

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised to see men on the internet being so upset with a woman scholar for being insufficiently awed by a popular male entertainer’s work. And after all, the Odyssey is, in part, about how men behave emotionally and destructively in response to women’s words and deeds

My books weren't stolen by Anthropic (only a book review I don't hold the rights for), but I'm happy for all y'all who will get something out of the settlement. You deserve more, ofc. Also happy to see the lazy, technobrat, bro-ho, narci-dumbag intellectual property thieves be held accountable.

Amazing opportunity for the cross-pollination of science and poetry…

Does anyone want to buy a drive-in movie theatre in rural Oregon? Please-please?

So Lindsay Graham died? Wasn’t he just looking at drones in Ukraine like yesterday?

Charter schools are a form of entitled theft, stealing resources from the underprivileged to educate the overprivileged. Prove me wrong.

Sixth most impoverished state in the union, no minimum wage, least competitive health insurance, 4th lowest high school graduation rate, 3rd most corporal punishment of children, and called “the nation’s toxic waste disposal.” Welcome to your future, ‘merica!

1/ I appreciate Howell Raines giving me credit for naming "Alabamafication." A lot has happened since I coined that term in the spring of 2016, and I've come to think it's no longer sufficient. 🧵

It’s Seaweed Saturday! Enjoy!

Celebrating the full, rich history (not just the last 250 years) of all the Americas today. May we all enjoy independence from tyranny, exploitation, and oppression.

Gluesenkamp Perez: "At town halls, what I saw was the people who were the most upset had spent the last 12 years driving their girls to sports practice & they view their best shot of their student going to college as an athletic scholarship. So when we rush to moralize we miss some of the nuance."

Just another day chilling at the beach

I hope someone will clue in the illustrators who don't know this already, but the moon pretty much appears *behind* any clouds that may be present. Unless viewed from outer space, ofc.
