Makes and breaks websites. I mostly post bird and other nature photos - politics bring up too many words that are inappropriate for children, so use your imagination for re-skeets.

If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This isn’t really a settlement; Trump had no case to speak of, in my view. It’s better understood as a nonspecific sort of bribe. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

I've seen people dismiss the Pornhub bans, sometimes couching their dismissal in an anti-porn stance. What I don't think they realize is that the people pushing this stuff conflate porn with LGBTQ people and sex education and are part of Project 2025 mashable.com/article/free...

Thanks to MSNBC for giving me space to write about NC Supreme Court race. Everyone in America should be watching North Carolina right now. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Elon has graduated to posting on 4chan as Adrian Dittman and inadvertently gave away who he is by showing he has admin console access.

what’s happening on twitter right now shows just how important it was for left of center people to leave it earlier these assholes need a target, and deprived of their preferred options they are ripping each other to shreds

This is the charitable take but also the key question media outlets should be asking now: Did Trump knowingly nominate a criminal to be AG, or is his transition team so incompetent that he didn’t know this about a major nominee? If it’s the latter, what are we missing about the rest of them?

A good microcosm of my whole political critique is that GOP leaders reflexively understand that “Biden commutes death penalty sentences to life in prison” = “attack Dems viciously” while Dem leaders reflexively see “Trump’s top pick to be AG is a child rapist” as another opportunity to say nothing.

The key takeaway is that the world’s richest man got what he wanted; stripped our cancer funding for kids, killed reforms to bring down drugs prices and caps on investment in China. Trump on the other hand demanded a debt ceiling raise and got nothing.

Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.

For my nervous system and related capacity to act, unfollowing those who post a) lots of outrage-provoking NYT headline link cards b) screen grabs of adrenaline-creating Twitter posts by the usual suspects.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Whew! Popping back here briefly to discuss a very eventful few days. On Sat, a SNOW BUNTING appears at Hayward Regional. 😱 The bird is stunning & super-rare in the East Bay. Many birders go to see it. It's living its best life on a white/brown plastic culvert that it maybe thinks is snow? 1/

FYI, we're using a process to import our old tweets here (and once that's done, we'll nuke our actual old TWeets). Hopefully it won't make our account feed all fucked up. Fingers crossed!

Back in my day, we didn’t call them ‘echo chambers’. We called them ‘not hanging out with assholes.’
