This is another thing that should give us hope, because while fascism is always profoundly anti-intellectual, they still need at some level of strategic and logistical competence to fully realize their goals. This administration simply lacks that capacity.

“Coppers were always outnumbered, so being a copper only worked when people let it work. If they refocused and realized you were just another standard idiot with a pennyworth of metal for a badge, you could end up as a smear on the pavement.” -Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

You know what, this is the perfect time to talk about my experience of incontinence, Because, like most other things that go weird with my body, it turns out it had to do with ADHD.

It will not surprise any of you to learn, I think a lot about taxonomy. The current system we use (Linnean classification) groups animals by common descent, and uses similarity of structures and the fossil record to try and do so accurately. "How closely related are these, in evolutionary terms?"

My friend's student asks me to share: The administration is trying to destroy the Endangered Species Act from within. Public commenting is basically the only way to thwart this rule before getting to court. If you have a few minutes to comment: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FW...

I have always, broadly, thought that people should have rights - that it was wild to deny someone their humanity because of how they expressed it. The thing that made me realize "Oh, this is a whole-ass fight we need to have right now" was having a trans coworker lose her apartment.

90 day meds for the cats, 90 days of a new med for me. Spare glasses. Some split peas and cornmeal. Teff flour. Hair elastics and maybe some headbands for the preschooler. Lumber, mulch, and dirt to pull the yard together. Then I am DONE with this economy. I never want to shop again.

if not now, then when? “People forget; no struggle has ever been successful without robust communication networks that are not subject to state control. From the French resistance in WWII to the Zapatistas in the Lacandon Jungle, communications matter!”

Conservatives need to make up their god damn minds. You can't have two immutable genders and also have men become women by doing "non-masculine" things. This is just the old fascist shtick "the enemy is at once both weak and strong, devious and conniving yet also ignorant and simple-minded."

There's a very good reason that in Terry Pratchett's Night Watch, the battle against the brutally fascist secret police takes place on Cable Street.

Not hearing enough noise about Mahmoud Khalil from folks who like to quote the "first they came for" poem. Y'all get that the point is that they came for controversial, easily othered groups first, right? Now, it's trans people, immigrants, and student activists. Your turn will come. Fight now.

1. Protests are happening literally every day these days. Trans rights protests. Protests against Musk. Heck, over a thousand people showed up for a protest at the Treasury. I advise everyone, especially people who don't usually, to find any of them and just go to one. It's important.

This isn't as flashy or fashionable as "resist" posting, but participating in this CTA is community care, with the potential to save lives. Solidarity with vulnerable strangers is the only way through this crisis. Please call your congressperson RIGHT NOW. Please urge your friends to call theirs.
