I fucking LOVE libraries.

I am so pissed at Gallego. I feel like us Arizonans were given the bait and switch with him.

Good thread. Scroll to top to start (it unfurls better this way)

Can we all pause for a moment for Ms. Roberta Flack? RIP. variety.com/2025/music/n...

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Love.

I want to believe. I want to believe. I want to believe.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Another great piece from Marisa and with a heartbreaking headline.

Thinking of my former colleagues and friends who are still working at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, a superior RDT&E facility for the navy. That base is the largest employer in my hometown of 28,000-ish people. If enough people lose their jobs and move, the town will suffer.

“'The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up,' Ms. Ortiz said in an interview with The Times. 'I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.'” Hell yeah, sister.

After three hours of working on my shitty, over-priced LG washer (I bought brand new 3.25 years ago), I am tired, bloody (literally), and broken. And it's still broken. Washer 1 - Me 0

My least favorite movie genre these days is the one in which a movie starts out as one story and then religious messages appear and more frequently as the movie progresses.

Animal photos are my healing elixir. Just look at them. Gimme all the doses. 😻

Lots of resources from @civilresistance.bsky.social to help us fight back... www.nonviolent-conflict.org

Damn it.

My Bluesky follows pretty closely my old Twitter, but I miss a lot of the people I found on Threads that either said they were coming over, but haven't, or vowed to hang in there on Threads despite Zuck being a dick. :(

Is it time for a 2025 version of the Committees of Correspondence, Inspection and Safety? Asking for a friend.

Plus, Dr. Lacovara is pretty funny.

Canada has egg. Canada has trophy.

The idea that science, knowledge, health and safety are all liberal and not universal. JFC.

I got sidetracked by this video while reading a completely unrelated article (thanks, WIRED), but it was worth it. It's great: there's info about climate crises, animal extinction, and the earth's sixth mass extinction, which is already underway. www.wired.com/video/watch/...

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

Someone get this kitteh a snowboard. They're ready for the meowtain.

This captures the chaos of my brain quite well.

Well done, @stevanzetti.bsky.social and @texasobserver.org. Uncloak them all. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Truly, too close to home. My heart goes out to those lost and their families and friends.
