Damn.

Habemus Papam?? In THIS Economy???

Heads up. If you were my old college roommate and you post that for History Day you had your 4th grader dress up as Elon Musk? I will block you so fast and we will not be interacting in any way ever again.

But the Kiera Knightly one is the most beautiful

Feeling THIS

I was living in Denmark and thinking about starting a family when Pope Francis was elected and it filled me with such hope and optimism for the future. It was a very good, happy, best-of-humanity, bright era of my life and I always associated Francis with it. I’m really sad he’s gone.

Paul Revere is a big part of how I knew I’d marry my husband. He came to visit me in Boston when we had just started dating and I took him on the Freedom Trail. When we got to the Old North Church, he started reciting “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere” - and knew the whole entire thing.

I liked the Minecraft Movie. It was a fun time.

Featured on BBC this morning - welcome back 2009-vibes Recession-core news stories!

Kind of a stressful time to be a household that gets most of its quality news from a publication called The ECONOMIST

Sometimes I daydream about being invited to some local fancy to-do where I have the opportunity to very publicly refuse to shake the hand of Mike Lee.

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Americans voted against the most successful economic recovery of any nation on the planet for this, because they were mad at their servants being paid more and listened to liars who made them feel good.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

Buckle up, stock market.

Insider Threat training hitting harder in 2025.

“This is not a left or right moment. It’s a right or wrong moment.” - Senator Cory Booker

Buckle up, stock market.

Uggggggghhhh I knew we were being dumb but I was kinda hoping like the international world wouldn’t find out yet. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This doesn't look good, folks www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Busted.

Why so many weight equivalencies? 😂

Obsessively watching 30 Rock and West Wing? It’s like traumatized, despairing 2017 Heidi all over again.

Literally me and my husband and yeah it’s grrrrrrreat in our house right now.

Sobbing! On the airplane finally watching “My Old Ass.”

I’m sure it’s totally fine that our federal tax return (which has always been accepted within like three hours of filing) has not done the same after (checks notes) twelve days.

Company booked me on the ✨fancy✨ zone of the extreme budget airline at this tiny airport. I’ve never felt so unexpectedly superior.

I will say this. My imposter syndrome has been COMPLETELY eradicated from watching this administration fill positions and just make up jobs.

“Are we the baddies?”

I truly thought that being in a Weimar-Republic-like situation would provide obvious answers to things like “Where will be safe in fifteen years?” Or “How long do we have until we can’t wait any more?” Turns out all those people in historic situations really were just shooting in the dark after all.

Writing python stuff today. Surprisingly helpful for my heart and brain. Things make sense. One action logically follows another. Solving a solvable puzzle.

A Real Pain is a very good movie and you all should watch it especially right now.

Controversial take(?): sometimes I look around at my dude-heavy tech job and go “ohhhhh I think maybe just a ton of these guys might be on the spectrum! Ok ok”. But then other times I go “wait…or is this really just how dudes relate to each other?” Because if it is….that’s not great, dudes!

In the face of this, I don’t know how to not feel sad? Am I supposed to even try? I have to keep living and maybe being happy is the biggest revolt I can offer? But how? And should I? I think this is all how grief works…

In a silver-lining kind of way, it’s a nice time to be a Person Who Makes Maps As a Job because there is now something so very specific I can do (or, rather, not do) in these dumb times. apnews.com/article/mexi...
