Absolutely a coup...

Note this down

I will forever be calling X “twitter” because if Elon can dead name his daughter I can dead name his app.

The most dangerous person in women's spaces in Congress isn't Sarah McBride, it's actually Nancy Mace's staffer Sean Brislin, apparently, who it appears she hired shortly after he broke into a woman's house and slept in her bed. www.advocate.com/politics/nan...

Online influencers need ‘urgent’ fact-checking training, warns Unesco

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Can anyone recommend long trails or walking routes in Michigan or the surrounding states? Looking to traverse about 50 miles in total for the American Bionics project. Any advice or recommendations appreciated!

As someone with CPTSD, This resonates far too well.

"It’s all part of a giant natural equilibrium. But the system only stays in balance as long as emissions from human sources wind down to zero. If humans depend on natural carbon sinks to balance out ongoing future emissions, the world will just keep on warming."

I want to remind everyone that the far right sees transgender people as being worthy of segregation out of general society, "separate but equal" treatment that of course, is never equal. So much so that Iowa Republicans literally tried to redefine the word equal to not mean "same" or "identical."

It's almost as though bookstores are...a good thing to have around? More importantly, support your local libraries!

All of this.

This is the future I want for us

Intro: I'm bad at social media, on purpose. Interested in far too many things, but here's a few! Anthropology Archeology History Debunking misinfo/disinfo Cooking Books of all sorts! Tolkien Star Trek & Star Wars Rpgs: (Dragon Age, Mass effect) Mythology Yoga Walking/hiking Music (all sorts)

If, like me, you hate Google Docs blinding you - this works to turn it into dark mode. It turns everything into dark mode, some of it works and some of it doesn't, but it's a start www.howtogeek.com/721117/how-t...

Maria Ressa is a personal and professional hero of mine, and imo you should always listen to what she has to say

Even if they Pod Save libs *are right* (big if) that anti-trans sentiment swung the election, the idea that we should abandon justice when it’s unpopular is so repugnant and regressive I can’t even get my mind around it. We fight for justice because it’s right, not because it’s popular.

@bukkitbrown.bsky.social You're easily my favorite cosplayer!! Super creative, impressive dedication to your craft! Followed you on that one site and YouTube for a while! Just a note to remind you you're awesome!!

Don’t ever let anyone tell you your vote doesn’t matter

Engaging with bots or trolls who post bad faith disinformation nonsense won't do anything to help. Block them and keep this platform a place for genuine interactions. Reactions sustain the tools of the outrage machine. Silence quiets them.

Upcoming: I'm going to take on a long walk, 100k steps, 50 miles or so, for a charity that helps folks with mobility issues: the American Bionics Project. More info and a video will be coming soon! If all goes well, I'll be doing more like this for other projects! Hope you decide to follow along!

How many of these do we have?

The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry: a great poem for troubled time...

Reading Lord of the Rings again because it’s nice to hear about some fat little stoners who wreck an asshole’s shit

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
