Sometimes you get to record a podcast episode with your bestie, and those are good days 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ In the latest Pale Blue Pod, I tell @constar24.bsky.social about this year’s big astronomy conference! sites.libsyn.com/487331/astro...

Starting TWO new social media freelancing gigs this week and added SEVEN new Instagram accounts and now I have to turn off dumb notifications from all of them bc they’re on by default and that’s just such a headache for social media managers 😭😭😭

Breaking news: Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration, potentially throwing the mail provider and trillions of dollars of ecommerce transactions into turmoil.

So tired of seeing the words “Breaking” 😭

Everybody keeps asking why they had a DEI event and it sounds more like a humiliation ritual than anything else

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Just a reminder that everyone in New York City hates, and has always hated, Donald Trump.

Every talking head that turns around and "well, actually"s gen AI, I'm just going to assume they're in some tech company's pocket.

I agree it’s weird former presidents aren’t talking.

She's cracking. New Yorkers, please feel free to call her office one more time and tell her to fire him. Also tell her she should have done this MONTHS ago. 1-518-474-8390

Over the weekend, the Department of Education threatened to pull federal funding from public schools that don’t dump DEI by the end of the month Though the letter lacks the force of law, advocates are warning about this latest attempt to squash diversity efforts

I think it’s important to analyze this activity in terms of power: 1. They are threatening current & future federal employees about what happens if they don’t follow orders 2. Creating openings for loyalists 3. Creating opportunities for privatization 4. Raiding for resources, money and info Etc

Almost as if they were agents of a hostile foreign power sent to infiltrate our government for that very purpose

worth saying again these these unilateral cuts are illegal. neither trump nor musk has the authority to unilaterally slash appropriated funds.

Month 3 retwist. From sheepdog to real girl #locsky

Language changes when people communally agree to make to the change. We shouldn’t refuse all changes in language (many things should be changed/updated/more inclusive) but as this 🪡 states, know the reason WHY and consider if that warrants a change in your personal vocabulary. 47 + friends do not.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Said this before but billionaires are dragons sitting on a pile of gold, and if you try to take even one small coin they will burn your entire village to the ground.

Amazon, McDonald’s, Target, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply and Walmart are all named in the advisory

Risky but clever. #photography #photographers #photosky

This new Administration is a bunch of terrorists blowing up all that is meant to keep us safe and healthy. CDC cuts expected to devastate Epidemic Intelligence Service, a ‘crown jewel’ of public health www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t... via @statnews.com

Feels like we all need to add as much pro-social, Mr Rogers like activity as possible just as a homeostatic response to all the ambient evil floating around right now. Anyway I just signed up to read with little kids on Wednesday mornings before work.

This feels like an April Fool’s joke but it’s February…

I started listening to RAYE after her Grammy performance and I can’t believe Oscar Winning Tears is where the “would you go ahead would you go ahead” meme comes from… that’s how untapped in to internet pop culture I’ve been. SMH.

Outlets really need to figure out how they’re going to deal with this. Many are bending the knee (in part bc of wealthy owners) but it won’t just be for the somewhat silly stuff. Any criticism will face the same probably as early as next week.

I know the “strategy” at play here with this admin is just fear and chaos… but is laying off thousands of federal employees at once not just creating a situation in which thousands more people have nothing to lose in resisting your tyranny?

We do not throw away perfectly good food in this house. We put it in Tupperware & wait for it to go bad & then we throw it away.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

I take an SSRI.. Along with therapy & a lot of work, it's helped me stave off terrible anxiety. So RFK, Jr.'s coming for me, personally. And probably a whole bunch of other people you care about. Call your R senators & rep and tell them to fight this creep. HANDS OFF OUR MEDICINE. reps.fyi

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Yes
