I'm trying to work up the energy to look into how to start crowdfunding because my household has just had a serious and seriously long string of bad luck lately and we need/are gonna need some support. I've bookmarked some of Tinu's (RIP 🕯️) advice to read but if anyone else has tips/ideas?

@jeffjarvis.bsky.social issued a grave warning about the dangers of broken U.S. mass media. They are failing to tell the huge story of the U.S. sinking into fascism. But mass media is still really important to reach critical mass. Jeff's video and my full comment: www.linkedin.com/posts/ulrike...

That breath you're holding? It's waiting for a hit that isn't coming. At least not directly, not physically, not immediately. Let the breath go. Breathe in again, out again. Unclench your muscles. Your nervous system doesn't know that the threat is big & messy & complex. But you do. Breathe.

Anyone in/around Wisconsin have the ability, or know someone who has the ability, to take in a lovely little cat whose human is having some temporary shelter challenges? She's been through a lot and is very timid but well behaved and just needs a place to hang out for a few months! Please share!

When I go along with my autistic friend to doctor appointments to help smooth over communication difficulties, this is part of what I try to explain to them - she just needs to know WHY, she needs to understand all of the reasons! I know most of your patients don't, but she does.

Elon Musk—an unchecked, unelected oligarch—is yanking wires out of the machinery that powers American life—and there’s no telling how many people will get hurt.

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Honestly? Be careful about adding yourself to any kind of list of people up for any kind of action or a member of any kind of marginalized group rn. They have so much data on us anyway, but we don't have to make it even easier for them, yk?

Image: a photo of Harrison Ford standing outside. He is wearing a kilt w a sporan & stockings and a black suit jacket on top. He is standing with one leg up on a scraggly hill and holds a bottle of some kind of liquor on the top of his knee. His other hand holds a glass. Full Ford smirk on display.

I was just thinking about how important trusted archives are going to be in the coming days in another context (thinking about how maga will be dirty deleting and claiming screenshots are faked and also faking screenshots). Here is another example.

This is Phyllis Fong. I very much respect that she made them physically remove her from her office, which remains hers by right, because she hasn’t been legally terminated.

With alt text! In an interview the other day, I was talking about these exact types of public servants and wondering aloud what we can do to support them. You may have beef with an agency, deservedly so-- but that should make us even more motivated to help those who are doing good work.

This is a part of their “professors are the enemy” bullshit, but the cost of these freezes will extend well beyond them. Their students working there, the patients in clinical trials, the businesses who supply these labs, and down the line regular people who reap the benefit will all feel it too.

It's time to talk about H5N1 Bird Flu, and I know we don't want to but it's important, especially if you have cats, feed birds, have chickens, etc. This is the US outbreak map. A week ago it was only in western states, now it's in 50. The first exclusion zone in Scotland was announced today. 1/

⚠️Trump’s withdrawal from WHO is unlawful until is is approved by Congress. The U.S. entered WHO via 1948 resolution passed by both houses of Congress. Trump WH’s unilateral action notifying the UN of US withdrawing violates US law because it does not have express approval of Congress to leave WHO.

I permanently harmed my Twitter experience with a blocklist that purported to be a TERF blocklist but in fact contained basically every elected official and journalist in the US and UK. Since then I've really settled on artisinal handmade blocking.

David Lynch had COPD and stopped directing and going out publicly because everyone stopped taking covid precautions, so one thing you can do in his honor if you're mourning his passing today is to start masking again if you stopped.

A girl I knew in college saw David Lynch speak at an event. When it ended, she found a way to get to the front to tell him how much his films and shows meant to her. His response was “Thank you. And remember, the universe is in your basement.”
