I’m very excited to announce my podcast!

I'll be telling survival stories, starting with the story of Ada Blackjack, who was stranded for 2 years in the Arctic.

If you subscribe to What to Carry, What to Burn on your fav podcast app, you’ll get the first episodes on May 12!

Our state has the highest cancer rate of any place in the history of human civilization and you voted to cut cancer research for tax breaks for billionaires, yet people who try to protect their communities from being kidnapped by ICE Gestapo are the “Monsters” lol

Dorks out here romanticizing towns where the sheriff and bumbling mayor are helpless to stop the beast that awakens every 17 years to feed

Happy Pride Month!

Granta mourns Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o. In memory of his life and work, we have lifted the paywall on his writing for the magazine.

My faith teaches me to love my neighbor, feed the hungry, and clothe the naked – not turn our backs on our most vulnerable by cutting access to health care and food from tens of thousands of Iowans and putting our rural hospitals at risk. This is what happens when you have leaders who prioritize politics over public service.

Iowa Republicans are trying to pass a bill to force public schools to allow private school students to participate on all public school sports teams. Of course, the public school has to pick up the entire cost of participation.

Vouchers are a scam.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Classifying babies as guilty combatants in order to justify eradicating them, and arguing that an entire population of 2 million people (or however many are left) are legitimate targets for slaughter, was the foundation of the Nazi holocaust and every war crime in history:

I think that slim volumes of women’s autobiographical fiction about the alienation and fractured identity that accompanies early motherhood are good, actually.

[Oliver Weilein, Iowa City Councilor @Ollie_XVX]

At a time when homelessness increased 18% last year, this is a direct attack on the working class of Iowa and on our most vulnerable people. Housing is a human right & we need to strengthen tenants rights in Iowa City, and protect our residents from being thrown onto the street.

If the Cedar Rapids Kernels change their logo, I’m going to make the derecho look like a girl scout meeting.

They call it a gaffe when a politician accidentally tells the truth, and that's what our Governor did today 😬 😂

Sorry for tweeting so much, but Twitter throttles out-bound links, so I'm trying this again.

SoCal animal shelters are overwhelmed with people dropping off injured animals they can't take with them as they flee. Many are in need of volunteers, money, and foster homes 🧵

2025, go gently with us, yeah?

- Dracula & Frankenstein still thrill
- the new translation of Beowulf is the coolest thing on any bookshelf
- Play It as It Lays & No Country for Old Men are better heard than read

- my husband proposed to me in the margins of a copy of Far from the Madding Crowd. Guess why. 🩶

Read that man a book while he cooks. It will never, ever be “your turn” to make dinner again.
