There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.

This is a coup right? School House Rock didn't prepare me for any of this.

Oh my god. They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service. "Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights" WOW.

If another [straight/cisgender/white] person asks me "why I have a backup plan to flee the country" I swear I'm gonna cry again. Of course I have a backup plan.

I think we should start telling our friends we love them more. This is my mildest take.

The OPM (federal government HR) created a snitch line for anyone to report DEI in the federal government. The email is [email protected] It would be a shame if the email was flooded. I want to be clear. The trans community is absolutely definitely not well known as tech savvy people.

This is so fucked. This is a real agency communication. From a federal government program. From the first woman to hold the NASA administrator program, who probably benefited from a DEIB initiative.

I don't think I need to clarify my stance on the topic but these soccer folks summed it up

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.

I love scary movies but living in one for 4 years seems a little excessive.

I love this new platform and all the buzz. But I need some trans, queer, ttrpg, writer and science followers/peeps.

Surround yourself with the kind of people who support their local library, bakery, bookstore, and café.

If you don’t want to read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein together by the fireplace whilst sharing a vintage bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in an abandoned château in the French countryside during a raging snowstorm, then please don’t tell me you’re “down for a good time”.

I feel like a new platform is just another slap in the face that I really should be working on my book and get that shit done. Maybe then if one of my favorite authors follows me we might have something in common

Going along with library cards. You all should be using storygraph instead of Goodreads. Get away from amazon, support a black woman. Get a better app. Also it's free. TheStorygraph.com

I love my library card. I've had it for 30 years and it's my ticket to books, movies, audiobooks, board games and so much more.
