I wish people and entities I like would stop using Substack.

They’re only unlikely allies if you haven’t been paying much attention for the past decade or so.

I almost forgot to post this, and it's the perfect day for it.

We don't actually have to listen and report on what these assholes say. Having billions of dollars does not make your opinions more valuable than anyone else. In fact we shouldn't listen to your opinion on anything because you are a little dragon hoarding wealth and watching people suffer.

Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

Interesting to see these big name universities absolutely crumble and cave — halting admissions, altering faculty labs’ websites, and basically being a bunch of collaborators. Almost like that’s what they were really about all along. Almost like those billions in endowments aren’t for education.

this weekend has been so ducking silly, i don’t want it to end! #p4a2025

"When I have a choice, I don't want to throw my energy and creativity behind something that I can't speak for with a full chest." I have a blog, and it's also a newsletter! You can read it here: holly.weblog.lol

This is a fantastic idea. White conservatives should definitely pick a fight with Kendrick Lamar

hey you! person reading this! have you considered putting away your phone and having an enjoyable day instead of a bad one? just a thought. either way is cool, I don't even know you.

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Hello bsky! I’m looking for independent newsletters and journalists to subscribe to.. pls boost and add any you enjoy!

One of Wisconsin’s two openly gay members of Congress and a fellow Madisonian! Thank you, @pocan.house.gov!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

BREAKING — I'm told OPM just sent out this memo with guidance for implementing Trump's "Defending Women" anti-trans executive order. "Take down all outward facing media that inculcate or promote gender ideology. Review email systems and turn off features that prompt users for their pronouns."

King Penguins, South Georgia. Stunning. With @wildlifeprecey.bsky.social

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night. I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

I helped write the Biden-Harris AI executive order – the one that President Trump has repealed. The EO was a first step, but it was the most comprehensive policy governing AI in the US. Like others, I've been sounding the alarm about the dangers of this exact moment. A short 🧵 on what this means:

wait do we know for sure which one zuck was referring to

I am super happy bc I got webfishing to work on my Mac thanks to a tutorial by @mae.wtf :D

SOON

This #InternationalMigrantsDay why not listen to the first ever global collection of sounds of human #migration? 🔉 Migration Sounds, featuring 120 recordings, was a partnership between the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) and Cities and Memory. 🔗 citiesandmemory.com/migration/

jesse singal came here with a stated goal: ruin the one place trans people had built for ourselves online. and bluesky leadership said "yes sir, right this way sir, please let us know if there's anything we can do to help"
