Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Conservative billionaires are funding a coordinated effort to dismantle public education to pay for private school vouchers that largely benefit wealthy families and enable corporations to avoid their fair share in taxes. Now they have a friend in the White House.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

When I was 11, I used to offer to buy other kids' souls for spare coins. I bought 3 or 4 on the bus one afternoon, and a mom got SUPER upset, and they made their son give me back the 50¢ to have his soul back. I mean, sure. Have it at cost. Sorry you're in trouble. I was deeply weird, I guess.

People getting super into handcrafts and geeking out about process is soooooooooothing. I don't want to do the crafts, but just, like, enjoy the co-regulation.

I'm exhausted and this feels like the best option for #FossilFriday this week. This is coprolite. What is coprolite, you ask? It's fossilized feces. It's mineralized, doesn't smell. It's important for science to find pollen or pieces of bone. Also proves you can polish a turd.
