Hey BookSky, Remember that professional football player who was pictured reading a book on the sideline and when asked about it he said, “I like to read.” He won the Super Bowl tonight. READING BOOKS WINS! 📚💙

Every single stupid conversation I’ve had with a scientist about anticipatory obedience and historical comparisons over the last week has had me thinking about how scientists’ political incompetence is one of the major arguments for a liberal arts education Like you’re literally a tool without it

Autistic minds most often see past the noise and nonsense of society. This makes us dangerous.

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

I live and work in one of the former secret government cities built for the Manhattan Project. Government is still the biggest employer in town, whether it's working directly for them or for one of dozens of subcontractors. 1/

Every act Trump is taking (it's only been 4 days) is going to do the exact opposite of his promises to lower grocery costs. Epidemics are expensive. Waiting to solve problems til they're massive is expensive. Food chain collapses? You guessed it. Expensive.

my contention remains that nearly everyone in the Trump administration is dumber than a sack of doorknobs and the ones that aren't have pickled themselves in right-wing media for so long that they don't know the color of the sky. it's foolish to suggest that it's impossible to resist these people

HEY. HEY. Yes, you. 🫵🏾 DO NOT REACT TO EVERY PIECE OF NEWS. It is all trash. It is all a dumpster fire. They are flooding us with cruelty and 404 errors and Executive Orders. Take a deep breath. It's only day 2. Get back in your body. Log off even for 5 mins and stare at wall. This is a marathon

I've always managed to stay on the positive side of TikTok, but after it went down and came back up, it took a whole two hours for MAGA to find me and start filling my comments with assholery. Geez, the next 4 years are going to be fun... 🤨

So deeply not kidding when I say that the current paradigm of "Gen AI" is doing deep, lasting harm to our ability to make knowledge, meaning, & truth w/ each other. Like… it's really fucking us up & if we don't stop it soon we're gonna see a kind of negative chaos frankly unimaginable to most ppl 👍🏾

My experience has always been that if an employer refers to employees as "a family", it's usually a toxic and abusive one. The kind that thinks pizza parties excuse borderline illegal activity.

They made us take DISC personality tests for an upcoming staff workshop. Anyone taken these before? How miserable and offended should my AuDHD brain be prepared to be?

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

I called out sick twice this week and felt immensely guilty. So sick that I was worried I might have walking pneumonia. But I still felt guilty for not dragging myself to work half dead. And I hate that about American culture.
