i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

They’re Organizing to Stop the Next Assault on Immigrant Families Community groups are pushing back on an impending HUD rule that would force undocumented immigrants from public housing, splitting families.

Administrative agencies have so much power to fuck up people's lives. Threatening people's housing is yet another vector of power and control to terrorize immigrants.

This always feels like it should be up there with asking how old someone is. Hell, whenever I have a FT job, I always opt out of making my birthday public. One job literally had a screen that showed everyone's for the month

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

The new Bridgerton is giving "what if a Brontë sister wrote Cinderella" and I'm honestly here for it.

A 2024 story about climate change memes from the non-profit Outrider quotes “Juliet Pinto, a Professor of Psychology” at Pennsylvania State University. I emailed Pinto, who is in fact a communications professor at Pennsylvania State University. “I have not spoken with any reporter about that piece of research, and I am not a professor of psychology,” she wrote back.

As someone who's always loved watching the end credits, even as a child, why are more and more movie credits either too small or in an illegible font? Who do I write a letter to about this?

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers:

NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints.

and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

Nobody Wants to Be a Foodie How “foodie” went from badge of honor to cringey term to pejorative smear and all the way back again.
