Bluesky fam, you know what to do. I quote, repost, copy-paste, and generally name-drop the hell out of this woman every damn day, and thousands of people have honed their activism thanks to her labors. Please donate what you can. One foot in front of the other, pal. You’ve got this.

Okay, I want to say it again for anyone who needs to hear it right now: Yes, calling is better for getting in touch with your reps. But right now? DO IT HOWEVER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE. I'm really concerned that the emphasis on calling right now is stopping people from getting in touch.

Bluesky gang, I miss you all. And for new followers, I promise that 1) I’m going to get back here and follow back, and 2) I will post more excellent cat/book/political screaming very soon. It’s been a long-ass month. But we’re still here. Onward.

Bluesky fam, I hope your holiday season has been gentle, and that whatever version you are living — raucous and joyful, quiet and contemplative, heartsore and challenging — you are hanging in. Days are getting longer. We’ve got this.

What the actual fuck? No. NO. I have to remind myself that humans also invented surfboards and chocolate chip cookies and puns and we are not 100% garbage, but even so I'm not sure the scales are tipping in our favor...
