I wish news outlets dedicated one inch of their glossy magazine stories about trans women in sports to the discrimination and violence we face every day Instead of empathizing with our persecutors

I’ve got to post something pretty. This Orange Goblin shitshow is destroying so much good in this world it’s become a new heartbreak daily. I’m on Whidbey Island, and over here in Western Washington, it’s tulip time. Mount Baker says hello too! ❤️💛💜 #whidbeyisland #tulips #flowers

4.19.25 Oak Harbor, WA Whidbey Island Incredible energy… Incredible Americans… We will continue. #fiftyfiftyone #handsoff #resist #indivisible #nokings #protest #wheresyourline #April19th2025 #WhidbeyIsland #Washington #OakHarbor

What a great piece by @arstechnica.com: "This moment calls out for moral clarity and resolve. It asks universities to take their mission in society seriously and to resist being co-opted by government forces." arstechnica.com/culture/2025...

This week’s newsletter is about the joy that comes from being different than miserable people: buttondown.com/monteiro/arc...

this is why i think it matters to be cautious about the way we conflate “people who are not rich” with “working people” as interchangeable terminology when we talk about class solidarity, and I say this knowing I absolutely still sometimes do it too

Had an incredible morning watching Yakama Nation members dipnet fishing on the Klickitat River. I also spoke with Tribal leadership about their concerns that Trump's illegal funding freeze could impact their federal support for forest management and wildfire support.

I helped secure federal dollars for a new preschool space at YWCA Clark County specifically for kids who've experienced trauma. I got to see that new space—but Trump's chaos and illegal funding freezes are making it harder for YWCA to support domestic violence survivors.

"All we can do is keep showing up, keep speaking up, keep donating, keep connecting, keep our values close and our courage strong and keep an eye out. And not give up, including not settling into this as though it's normal or permanent or we're helpless"

Teach a man to fish, and you'll probably get endless followup questions about technique and gear etc. Teach a man to become a fish, and you'll never hear from him again

“At an exhibition in Amsterdam, a long poster lists the names of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza. Standing before it is heartbreaking. Every loss hurts deeply. May God have mercy on them, heal the wounded, and spare us further grief.” - Samar Abu Alouf, award ceremony #WorldPressPhoto

it would be very good and cool if they did

Truth

how is every week simultaneously ten thousand years long but also seemingly over before it even begins

Reminder that when you see an obvious troll/bot/chud in my comments, just let them be. They want you to engage. Don't. I'll be along to expunge them in due time. In the meantime, let them marinate in their own shittiness, don't volunteer to scoop it up and baste yourself with it.

my hope is that the terminally online elder millennials like jd vance and nayib bukele who are driving the resurgence of fascism will keep displaying their anti-social wretchedness until enough people realize they fucking suck and no one should listen to them

I believe Kristol's transformation as more genuine and he's put way more of the work in for way longer, I think Brooks might just be sensing the vibe shift. But either way, a popular front is a popular front and we're gonna need everybody

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

ASAN, Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network, the Autistic People of Color Fund, Autism Society of America, Autism Speaks, The Arc, and others stand united: Autistic people deserve respect, support, and science-based policy, not dangerous disinformation. autisticadvocacy.org/2025/04/lead...

Your occasional reminder, if you needed one, that RFK Jr can fuck himself gently with a cetacean-laden chainsaw

This is yet another important thread in my anti-"this is pointless" cause (bsky.app/profile/chri...).

Really fucked distinction that West Virginia's entire Congressional delegation visited at once

I'm sorry, this is too cute. You two need to stop. #birds 🐣

This is both insulting and a surprisingly bad argument in the field of AI. A 1% imorovement to model benchmarks is considered significant enough to be worthy of a $100k grant. Some areas have plateaued enough to make that substantial. That makes a single book worth at least $6000 at that amount.

Imagine if we had autonomous taxis at scale in the US now. You think you're going home after a long workday and *whoosh* off to a black site with you.
