Me when I tip over my cart of books

Elon Musk is developing a new payment platform called “X Money.” Guess which agency would be making sure that Elon’s new project couldn’t scam you or steal your sensitive personal data? The CFPB.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” It’s who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

A snake crawled out of the grass. “If Toad looks funny in his bathing suit,” said the snake, “then I, for one, want to see him.” “We want to see him too,” said two dragonflies. “Me too,” said a field mouse. “I have not seen anything funny in a long time.”

Please, I’m tired

Everyone - every last one of us- deserves dignity and fair governance

Our accounts are starting to migrate over to Bluesky. Give them a follow! (We'll create a #StarterPack once everyone's up and running and verified).

Yeah so it turns out that being involved with your communities is great, actually

You don't want to tell your children that all you did during this time was post. You should be podcasting too

I’m supporting State Senator Marcus Riccelli and Representative April Berg’s legislation to pass free school meals for all Washingtonians. Right now, the child of a single parent working 40 hrs/week making $19 an hour does not qualify for free school meals. That must change.

“Perhaps today will be cold enough for me to wear a turtleneck to work and not overheat,” I foolishly whisper to myself

Recent sauces: Honeycrisp, Gala, Gravenstein. No sugar, no cinnamon. Excellent textures across the board. Gravenstein is my favorite because it’s a bit more tart than the others, but all three are excellent and distinctive.

Anti-ICE protesters in California have shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles marching towards City Hall.

The Black Panther Party were trailblazers in public health. The Free Breakfast Program fed more kids than the State of California. Black History is American History.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

finally made a drugs dot com account to make sure I don't do anything foolish, and so far all I've learned is every medication is going to make my hands incredibly, embarrassingly sweaty forever

I’ve quit telling people that I disagree with them. Instead, I now say, “I’m gonna have to agree with myself on this one.” It’s self-positive, non-confrontational, and just weird enough to end the conversation.

I've been reading Ellen Kushner's Swords of Riverside series, and as a connoisseur of characters with bad attitudes, I couldn't be more pleased 📚💙

The bill to ban public employee unions from collective bargaining cleared the Senate floor Thursday, despite continued strong opposition. The bill’s co-sponsor, Sen. Kirk Cullimore, promised a substitute bill will be presented.

I am nonbinary. The gender that no longer officially exists in the United States. I was offered the chance to change my gender designation to "X" on my passport and driver's license in 2023. I decided not to and here's why.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Good news/bad news: I’ve decided to replace the clock app with video games. Firing up the PC at six am to play for an hour before work feels like getting away with something

At long last— January 99th!

Even if RFK doesn’t get confirmed, I will not forget and I certainly won’t forgive anyone who helped him get this far. I already spend too much time and money managing chronic illness - if he gets his way, my quality of life will plummet.

🚨If your senator is below, call them “No on RFK Jr” (202) 224-3121 • Booker (D-NJ) • Cortez Masto (D-NV) • Whitehouse (D-RI) • Murkowski (R-AK) • Ernst (R-IA) • McConnell (R-KY) • Cassidy (R-LA) • Collins (R-ME) • Tillis (R-NC) • Lankford (R-OK) • Cornyn (R-TX) • Curtis (R-UT) • Moore Capito (R-WV)

Essentially it’s fruit of the same tree. They’re still using ableism and applying it to trans people. Anyone who defies “normalcy” is considered disabled by their society whether they have a disability or not.

Okay, one last one. People laughing about DeepSeek distilling Chat-GPT, really? Would you cheer if the British Museum got robbed? ... .....One moment, I'm being handed something.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

RFK Jr's whole deal is just Progressive-era eugenics and I'm continually shocked at how many people don't see it

One can find a variety of excellent maps at the public library
