My #SundaySentence this week is from @Rumaan's Entitlement: She would not allow that there was something unnatural in being her own first priority.

If you're a person of color voting for Trump, just know MAGA will never truly love you. No matter what you do, no matter how much you debase yourself, you'll never have the "good genes" or a good "bloodline." Good night and good luck. #MSGRally

Obama: If you’re a Muslim American and you’re upset about what’s happening in the Middle East, why would you put your faith in somebody who passed a Muslim ban and repeatedly suggested that you aren’t part of our American community?

When writers not only disrupt your brainwaves in the most disturbing yet fascinating ways with their novels but also just are good humans who care for people and other animals, it's a fine thing to celebrate their good news. #books #amreading #AreaX

This week's #SundaySentence is from Kaori Fujino's novella Nails and Eyes: "It was as though the words on the page were smiling at you, greeting you like an old friend with a quick wave of the hand."

Shout-out to all who (again) hear from extended family members, colleagues, et al. who have voted or will vote for racism, hatred, cruelty, environmental harm. This profound disappointment never really goes away. I'm filled with #HarrisWalz2024 hope nonetheless! #BlueWaveRising

If you’re registered but you haven’t voted yet, can you call a friend if you need a lift, or if you need someone to pass the time with on a long line? Bring a sandwich. Text your friends: ā€œVote yet?ā€ Whatever you do today, history is only hours away.
