The caticorn sat up proudly beside the sleeping gingersnap, the bunny nestled close, and the tired tiger exhaled a slow, steady breath, watching over. In this quiet, love needs no words—only warmth, presence, and the promise of safety.

Self-reporting favors those who exaggerate their contributions, allowing poor performers to take undue credit while displacing top workers. This undermines merit-based recognition. How do we expect this to impact government efficiency?

Elon Musk: "We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don't know of a case where an organization has been more transparent." This is the actual doge.gov website. It's a single page. Nothing more.

Pushback works, except to protect trans gender people. The title is misleading. Notice, this is buried 12 paragraphs down: "Some pages — for instance, those on transgender health — were expected to remain absent because they might promote "gender ideology." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/h...

If I'm understanding this right, Democratic leaders are leaving behind a lot of people. No protection for trans gender people. Am I understanding this right? I guess we have to wait for the economy. Meanwhile, trans gender people will just keep dying at disproportionate rates in preventable ways.

Congratulations, Beyoncé! Your first Grammy album win is a historic moment, honoring the rich roots of Black artists, who shaped this sound from the very beginning of the genre. You continue to break barriers, and inspire. This win is more than an award—it’s a celebration of history and artistry!

It was a warm day. The birds outside seemed happy, like it was a good day. I hadn’t felt one of those in a while, so I went for a walk. I saw my neighbor, a local farmer. He’s always busy, but not today. He chewed on a bit of hay, his wrinkled face set in a frown. (1/9)

"We just want to feel more professional, so we're migrating to Microsoft Office." *some months later* "We're getting spammed so much phish, we're losing thousands of dollars from scams!" I've heard this story so many times.

Expose the quiet part. Bigots often hide behind centrism, finding legitimacy through moderates who, in turn, gain an outlet for their unspoken prejudices. Fascists thrive by courting centrist sympathies, so breaking that alliance weakens them.
