Back online after a brief hiatus. Feeling like I can have a voice again now that my Green Card has been approved. I just need you US citizens who have actual free speech rights to hit the streets!

I generally don't support violence as an answer to our problems. But I also know that sometimes it is the only language that a bully can understand. So, if all else fails, be prepared to punch that Nazi. #NaziPunching

The DOGE method is clear: with maximum speed, get control of key systems and data, then use that control to strip down entire departments back to the studs. The legal resistance is slow. I’m waiting to see if the new admin will follow judicial orders. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This “darkest timeline” take was really sobering. Foresight says that the future unfolds through a “cone of possibility”. But when the darkest scenario starts to sound not only plausible but probable, it’s time to wake up. Watch, but have your self-care tools handy.

I’m trying very hard to not be triggered by every outrage. But I think it is already clear: they are 100% following the Project 2025 blueprint. Add in the Elon effect for additional chaotic energy and it pretty much is the worst case scenario.

Since the election, I shifted my media habits, from echo chamber rage-baiting “fast media” to more thoughtful “slow media” that steps back from the brink. This episode of The Bulwark is a great example. Thanks @timmiller.bsky.social & @hcrichardson.bsky.social youtu.be/qMQSs45oXow?...

Bye bye 2024, I won't miss you. But I am proud of or excited by some of what occurred this year, so I attempted to document that. made-not-found-by-danah-boyd.ghost.io/bye-bye-2024...

Two things can be true: 1) those seeking to shrink or destroy the administrative state are incompetent fools & grifters, and… 2) there is enormous waste of resources in how the public sector delivers value to the public The resistance should not defend the latter while attacking the former.

One of the hallmarks of this era is the frequent appointment of people who could not get hired in any capacity to work for federal agencies to run them.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved. We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

"If the science of psychedelics gets tangled up with the anti-science agenda around vaccines or fluoride, that could do long-term damage to psychedelics. Psychedelics should be approved because the science is good, not because they have a fan in the White House." www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Threads is an echo chamber on the left, Twitter on the Right, I hope this stays a sane normal place where some disagreement can be politely explored. Too much to ask??

Sam Harris makes some liberals angry by questioning the wisdom of centring politics on identity. The facts and results of the recent US election need to reckoned with. I believe this is an important listen, if uncomfortable for progressive orthodoxy. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

I want my Bluesky feed to be a thoughtful civic space where differences coexist and where people are open to changing their minds to new information. I want currency and relevance but I don’t need to react to every trigger or harbinger of doom. And I want it to be joyful, kind, passionate and sexy.

I’m just starting to understand what it means to learn at the age of 54 that I have #ADHD. Not formally diagnosed yet, but the more I read the more makes sense. I told my husband stories I had buried in shame - school, academic, work and relationship fails that now make sense. I didn’t expect grief.

Signed off of news for a while. But signs of our times and reminders of authoritarianism are hard to avoid. I will watch Cabaret for the nth time.
