It is really hard to watch people willfully tear down an infrastructure that allowed us to double lifespans, drastically reduce poverty, and become one of the richest countries in the world.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I still don’t understand why Democrats would negotiate a budget when the Trump administration claims unilateral authority to cancel any spending it dislikes. As long as congressional Republicans endorse that position, they are not legitimate negotiation partners! An agreement with them has no value!

Okay but now on the nice flip side of things Victoria the pharmacy tech single-handedly raised my opinion of CVS. Hallelujah and thanks for the meds.

So, Urgent Care is just a weird performance art piece, right? Sort of like an immersive version of Sartre’s No Exit? Or the physical embodiment of Hotel California. Judging by my experience this morning it’s definitely not actually a place where health care happens.

Don’t post front facing pictures of yourself maskless at protests. Don’t post front facing pictures of other people maskless at protests. Especially ppl of color. Seeing that all over with the Tesla stuff. You eagerly wanting to be seen doing something endangers both yourself and others.

"you should care about trans people bc they'll come for you next" right but what if you just cared about trans people?

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I’m on my way to donate platelets (so long as my iron plays ball today). It’s not going to do shit for democracy but it is a moment to embrace what agency I do have. And hopefully the human being on the receiving end is helped or healed. That’s not nothing.

This matters. Please pay attention. Please understand why this current administration wants to marginalize trans people. And please understand that if you're not a cis white hetero man -- you're next.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

There’s a GoFundMe for the family of Sam Nordquist—the Black trans man who was brutally murdered by five people in New York— to travel there to collect his body, and for funeral expenses. gofund.me/3dacca50

There are a million reasons to call our reps right now, but when I called Padilla's office the staffer I spoke to had no idea that some Deaf federal employees have lost access to ASL interpretation, and that the White House has stopped providing ASL. If you're able, please mention this to your reps!

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Otis turns 3 on Friday. He’s two treatments away from finishing chemo. I want him to have 10 more birthdays and find myself bargaining with the universe for even a couple more. Cancer is a fucker. But! He was a playful goofball this morning and slept pressed against me most of today.

Humility is in order right now. No one knows what will make a difference. So do everything that you can to take some form of constructive action. 1000 people taking action is ALWAYS better than 1000 people doing nothing or 1000 people acting like East German figure skating judges.

I needed to feel useful and nourishing to myself so I made what turns out to be a giant batch of whipped body butter for the second time ever. Smells great. Should have used a starch to improve texture. It will take me approximately a year to work through all this and then I can try again.

I won’t say this is nuts. It’s sort of exactly what I’d expect from a regime built on cruelty. What shocks me is all the quiet compliance in advance and the lack of defense or outrage from people who still have some political power and influence.
