It’s Han Solo season, bitches!

One would hope that these wouldn’t be 100% relevant 100 years later, yet here we are…

Guess I’m glad the kid didn’t earn that National Hispanic Merit Scholar thing after all…

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

The adorable newborn tapir calf is already mastering the art of wiggling its tiny trunk. 🥰 Baby tapirs use their tiny trunks for sniffing, exploring, and even grasping small objects. Their trunks are an extended upper lip and nose, which helps them sense their surroundings and forage as they grow.

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

For everyone out there, proactively removing your DEI policies because you're worried about illegal federal prosecution is the, "complying in advance," and, "...they came for [X] and I did not speak up..." that you have been warned against for 80 frickin' years

I have two to-dos due today.* If only it were Tuesday, that sentence would be even better. *Or so my email informs me; I think it’s dramatically undercounting

C’mon, people, let’s focus our energies on things we can actually change Chocobo! Chocobo! Chocobo!

I can't believe this has to be explained but "I was only following orders" is not a defense. When your higher-ups or some goon from DOGE tells you to do something that could have civil or especially criminal consequences YOUR JOB IS TO SAY NO OTHERWISE YOU ARE AN ACCOMPLICE.

PITCH: An updated version of the curse of Cassandra where she's describing things that are happening now, in front of everyone, but still isn't believed.

Dear every ally, both celebrity and random. Hormones cause puberty. Republicans are trying to convince everyone that *teenagers* are too young for *puberty*. Please bake this into the way you talk about trans youth.

Important work being done in the house tonight…
