No amateur sports program is worth sexually abusing children to prove their gender
I don’t think you ever get over seeing a book you wrote sitting on library shelves & bookstore shelves 🥹😁 I’m So Happy You’re Here: A Celebration of Library Joy written by myself, illustrated by Lorraine Nam 🐧 📖
SECONDLY I have a book coming out next month about a kid who lives in a city-sized scrap heap digging out by entering the robot friend he built in a fighting tournament, and then he confronts entrenched power structures and has to tear down the system. You can pre-order and make me very happy!

Quite literally a vote to immunize Epstein’s rapist collaborators
John Fugelsang@johnfugelsang.bsky.social · 17h agoImagine being a US Senator pretending to care abt the child rape of the Epstein files; and then hiring Todd Blanche to help protect the rapists.
Many of these forest fragment patches aren't considered in conservation funding plans because they're private lands and too small to support breeding forest birds. But they're so important for these brief but critical migration stopovers! If birds can't survive migration they can't breed anyway.
The DOJ is now 0-20 in court trying to access states' voter files. They've lost in: Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Illinois Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin

EA pals, I am so sorry. Watching what that company has done to you all over the years has been heartbreaking. I am already chatting with a few devs and want to extend that offer to everyone: If you want to talk, I am here. Off record, on record, either way 🤍 www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-...

A reminder: If you absolutely cannot boycott Amazon, don’t. But can you make them NOT your default? If every Amazon customer cut their spending by just 10%, Bezos would burst his facelift sutures. This doesn’t have to be an all or nothing.
Okay! So hello. My name is Allison Gill. For the last 9 years, you’ve known me as Mueller, She Wrote. I used to have to be anonymous. But not anymore. So, hello world!
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2d agoChanged my name from Mueller, She Wrote to my actual name, Allison Gill. Hoping I can get my blue check back. @joshpetri.bsky.team can you help?
Six years ago, I wrote this article about cup-of-coffee New York Yankee and longtime minor-league manager Frank Verdi, who once took a bullet to the head in Cuba. This morning, I received an email from a relative thanking for me for the time I put into it. Made my day. sabr.org/bioproj/pers...

Jersey. We turned our old ricu that was our storage back to function and that wasn’t enough. Wrapped around to same day but that wasn’t enough. Told now, empty. Where Bob. Where. We counted vents, every night, praying tho knowing we were gonna be short. Where were you Bob.
Grotesque. My clients are hospitals and health systems. During meetings we'd often cry on the phone with them as they described the overflowing ICUs and wards, the terrible toll on front-line health professionals, the inability of families to visit loved ones. RFKJr needs to STFU and leave.
An emergency medicine doc has a few words for #RFKJr: "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told CNN’s Dana Bash that 'There were ICUs that were empty all across the country, including in New York, at the height.' "What a patently false, disgusting statement. It’s actually offensive, given the hell on Earth […]

When Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.
FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
Gerrymandering only redraws House districts. Energized voters show up for every race: Senate, governor, state legislature, judges, and local offices. Republicans rigged the maps, but Black voters are changing the game. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.
This is way too familiar. I grieve for every person who knows what that kinda fear feels like.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 4d agoRep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
So that’s the thing to know, if you’re a tabloid that’s going to name-check me in another round of transphobic shit about Bluesky discourse. I don’t stand with you. I stand with my trans friends and family members. ⏹️
Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words

I first got 1000+ pages of court documents from Miller & Moreno's custody case. Anybody can request these from Cuyahoga County. I reviewed those by myself, one by one—no AI involved!—and the filings pointed to police reports. I then sought those out separately and spent days combing through them.
Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) previously denied a report, also alleged in court records, that he pushed a girl down a flight of stairs in high school. But the woman recently told me the alleged incident remains "one of the more traumatic nights of my life." Inside the investigation: ow.ly/8xU450ZpaNp

🔥 “I’m so sick and tired of you old people not giving a shit about what we’re telling you. We don’t have a future. We’re telling you what we need and you don’t give a damn.”
A win! A federal court has denied xAI’s request to block Minnesota’s AI nudification law from taking effect. That means the law is set to go into effect today as scheduled.
Performative bullshit. Fauci is a hero. Besides, they’re trying to ban an 85-year-old retiree from a job he already left.
