If you haven’t been calling your US reps, pls start there. It may not feel as satisfying as big gestures, but it’s often more powerful — & doesn’t require other ppl’s time/energy. Don’t skip effective action bc it feels unsexy, esp when the action you’re waiting to take requires other ppl’s work.

What a month this week has been. Lemon, it's Tuesday. This is a gentle reminder to relax your shoulders and unclench your jaw. Stay informed, but give yourself a break from the fire hose. You may not realize how intensely disregulating the constant stream of bad news and horror is until you do.

#tudor nerds! What prayers were said for Henry VIII’s funeral? How widespread would the #reformation rejection of purgatory have been in 1547?

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Think that gender-affirming healthcare for teens & tweens might be harmful (or want ammo for convos w ppl who do)? Listen to the “Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria” eps of Maintenance Phase — they’ve read waaay more of the data than any of the other folx you’ve heard from.

i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

How I feel knowing we're getting giant demonic evil AND still have to clock in/file taxes: Buffy: "My god, he's gonna do the entire speech." Willow: "Man, just ascend already." Buffy: "Evil."

It’s my turn to pick the classic movie we watch as a family. (I get to define “classic.”) Jennifer’s Body (indie classic horror, I’ve never seen it), Selma (Oscar winner), or Booksmart (new classic comedy)? (Kids are teens.) (Extra credit for spotting what my picks have in common.)

Finally watched Chernobyl. Brilliant show, massive bummer, and yet also hopeful. Every time we tell the truth we pay down some of the debt of lies. That feels important to remember rn. #chernobyl

Friday Family Movie Night #2. 16YO’s pick: Oppenheimer. I enjoyed identifying all the actors? Otherwise not my cup of trinitite.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Suspenseful page-turner, some really lovely writing. Especially appreciated the local setting and feminist undercurrents. Recommend.
