Book Group The last Thursday of every month was Book Group, when the books would gather together to discuss Brian. “It’s no fun here any more,” remarked Bleak House, glumly. “Why doesn’t he read us?” whined the Grapes of Wrath. “It makes me so angry!” “I’m sure he only bought me so he can show me off to his friends,” complained Ulysses, in a stream of self-consciousness. “I bet he can’t even remember my name, The Idiot,” muttered a voice from the Russian literature section. “That’s because he avoids you like The Plague,” said another. “C’est vrai!” came a cry. “It is like I do not exist.” “Let’s not give up on him yet.” It was Brave New World. After some Persuasion, they agreed to give him one last chance. “Be quiet!” cried Waiting for Godot with Great Expectations. “Here he comes now!” Brian entered the room, with his phone. He sat down and watched some videos of baby pandas falling over. After an hour or so, he started googling cats dressed as celebrities. On the shelf, the books waited with uncracked spines, their silence speaking volumes. Brian Bilston

All I want from my government representatives is for them to hold the line. That's it. I don't care if they don't have the votes. They have platforms. I can't get a 10-minute spot on a cable news program. They can. And they should use those platforms to shine a beacon on fascism and corruption.

2023–2025 marked the fourth global bleaching event, with 84% of world reefs affected by extreme marine heatwaves. Bleaching events occur every 3-5 years, far faster than the 10-15 years needed for recovery. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate
"Plumage and Passage" by artist Ernesto Maranje, which prominently showcases the great blue heron and the roseate spoonbill. The mural ironically celebrates South Florida biodiversity.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is planning the largest permitted coral reef destruction in U.S. history. Port Everglades expansion would wipe out millions of corals, including the few remaining staghorn corals in Florida. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Anyone who thinks immigrating is easy has never been through the system. Even under the best circumstances, it's a confusing, lengthy process that often requires expensive legal advice.
This is unconscionable. Shame.
Good night everyone. May tomorrow bring us more justice and some peace.
With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.
Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

“When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.” Declaration of Independence #NoKingsDay
A sleek GBH-branded graphic composed of deep blues and purples is displayed on the GBH mural. It reads "Congress told us to 'Go Fund Yourself.' And with your help, we can."
Congress told us to “Go Fund Yourself.”
And with your help, we can.
Our federal funding might be gone, but we’re still here. Public media needs your support now more than ever.
also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)
The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.
