I'm brand new to Bluesky, still learning how it all works. I'm a fiber artist, usually working with upcycled fabric scraps. I've been stitching my feelings lately, and this is my latest embroidery project - Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage collection. It's inspired by the 1930's Sunbonnet Sue designs.

I love that no one is in the office on Friday so I can wear a more comfortable mask and actually be able to think and work.

Lying in bed, listening to my heartbeat, thinking about how they call high blood pressure the silent killer. How does one moderate their biology while the world is on fire?

Non-binary teachers are being targeted in the state-controlled Providence School system “Part of me wonders if there’s a mandate to start getting rid of non-binary, trans, or LGBTQ+ teachers in readiness for federal mandates - instead of protecting us.” steveahlquist.substack.com/p/non-binary...

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

The “Global War on Terror” evolves. Imperialism has already turned inward on US citizens, and eventually drone warfare will be coming to a police department near you. Don’t act shocked. This would have happened under Democrats too, just slower.

A constitutional crisis is frightening, but since more of us are looking critically at how we are governed because of who's in office, we should contend with the idea that the Constitution itself is a crisis for our rights. Y'all, the document that governs us allows slavery for basically any crime.

While I'm at it and it's early, I'll also say that FAFO discourse doesn't feel good to me at all. I think that the people who will find out the most are the same people who are always finding out: the most marginalized. I also think that it destroys potential solidarity and solidarity is needed now.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

I also cannot wait to see Justin Trudeau stand on trial at The Hague for his complicity in and and cover for Israel’s genocide on Gaza. All of his supporters look sick and depraved right now. That’s right. All.

Good morning to everyone except the Justin Trudeau supporters. You’re all fake progressives that ignore the rights of First Nations people and believe in our assimilation. He’s been trying to legislate our inherent rights for a decade now. We can’t wait for the fake “sunny ways” PM to be gone.

Unfortunately I think many people who thought they'd "done everything right" are going to find themselves unemployed [perhaps for a long time]. I wonder how that will factor into politics.

This is actively something I don’t think people realize about this election: people forget that the Democratic Party (the vast majority) was actively ignoring their constituents at the same time they were demanding they vote for them. The images and videos that came out of the DNC alone…

I made a poorly worded post about the laws being passed, and I want to say it clearly bc it's important. Whatever they ask you to do, say no. Do not comply. Circumvent the laws without breaking them, flout them, ignore them, or straight up fucking break them. Fear is the true enforcement tool.

I will say again: The destruction of the CFPB—an agency that has brought in $20 billion over a little more than a decade despite having an annual budget that's less than what DOD has spent so far today—is the clearest sign none of this has anything to do with saving taxpayers money.

The first places in America where Black people had fair opportunities to work for the same pay and benefits as white Americans was the federal government. Still today, in places with high Black populations, many government employees are Black.

Elon Musk is involved in a system of communication with white supremacists and he’s not even giving dog-whistles anymore. The 14 word slogan posted at 11:14pm among white supremacists: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." Fascism come wrapped in the flag…
