Sending this out to whoever needs to see it: It's okay if you read slowly, there's no great victory in being able to read quickly, everyone kind of has their own reading speed, and that's perfectly fine. I'm just really happy you're reading. I hope it gives you joy at any pace. Thank you!
So let me get this straight: Wonder Man, a critical and commercial success, can’t get a second season but they’re making a sequel to this flop? Why not just re-release the first one and claim it’s a sequel? No one will know the difference.

The customer is always right … unless they object to things like transphobia and racism.
The Verge@theverge.com · last wk.Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Why am I so bad at gauging people’s ages just by looking, yet my characters are often so good at it?
I wish for everyone to be this obsessed with their art/projects. SHOW US!

You can’t wave the Confederate flag and call yourself a patriot. It was the flag of traitors who chose owning human beings over remaining loyal to the United States.
If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Remembering the legendary Miles Davis, influential Grammy-winning trumpeter, bandleader and composer, on his 100th birthday. He is still regarded as one of the greatest figures in the history of jazz. He was #BOTD on 5/25/1926 and passed away at 65 on 9/28/1991.
For his size, LeBron’s hands aren’t very big (for context, I’m 6’4”).
Really love this IT interview, feel like men aren't allowed to be emotional, vulnerable, and cry which is reinforced by men themselves. Look at how people reacted to Wemby crying, suddenly everyone has an opinion. I hate stereotyping and defining genders, just be secure and happy with who you are.
This South LA student slept in a parking lot. No roof over his head. Now he has 65 college acceptances, and he's heading to Columbia to study industrial engineering! THIS is what happens when talent gets a fair shot. 🙌🏽
A SCOTUS that believes that the Constitution protects the political rights of corporations more than it does those of non-White Americans is fundamentally illegitimate and its rulings should be treated as such

Justin Zimmerman@jztidecat.bsky.social · 4mo agoI’m just going to keeping saying it’s repugnant to see gambling advertisements on NBA floors. Adam Silver really is the worst commissioner ever.
The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books. Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable. Sign the petition to stop it. action.everylibrary.org/hr_7661 via @everylibrary.bsky.social
PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading
Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

Not every song you write is a good song but hey, you wrote it. You took a thought or a feeling or a sound and turned it into something that didn’t exist before. With the power of your mind, your muscles, and the instrument(s) of your choice, you made something new. That is beautiful.
