NSF plans to reinstate all probationary employees who were fired on 18 Feb! NSF’s decision. 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

I'm choosing to ignore the *gestures broadly* that just happened, so anyway, are we boycotting spotify? I love spotify so much, but their app has become increasingly enshittified with AI playlists, and i'm wondering if there are other options.

There's a really good argument to do the same with them and make a new narrative out of their words and put them on the defense. Or even make new words. I like "grifters" a lot.

Breaking: FDA's March meeting to select flu shot strains for 2025-2026 season has been canceled per email sent to committee members, a VRBPAC member told me. drug companies need about 6 months leeway to make shots in time for fall vax campaigns. #healthpolicy

I cant do this shit until JANUARY 2029 are you fucking kidding me

Being a gym bro is all fun and games until you forget the bra you were gonna change into and then you gotta wear your sweaty ass sports bra all day

It is 47 and sunny. Everyone in minneapolis is basically running naked through the streets right now

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It would be a shame if we all flooded musk’s email ⬇️ [email protected] This is the email address musk is asking federal workers to email detailing their tasks during the week 🚨 you know what to do 🚨

You know the guy that threw a shoe at george bush? Bring him back, we need him

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

Want to tell the public what US government workers actually do, vs. the propaganda spewed by DOGE? This incredible website, "We the Builders," is asking for first-person testimonials from government workers about their actual jobs, and how they make the government work. www.wethebuilders.org

Now taking recommendations for blogging platforms for me to start some real yapping. Best i have is like, wordpress and tumblr I guess.

Here's something completely delusional that might... i don't know, lift a spirit or two. If you aren't a complete Taylor Swift freak like me, in the fandom people joke that she has something called "tayvoodoo", and.... STAY WITH ME I SWEAR.

MAGA hates when hot women have the audacity to exist and express dissent. It's like they feel like they own them. How dare they happen to be beautiful, successful, AND not bend the knee to fascists? It happened to Taylor Swift, and now AOC. They respond by completely objectifying them.

For my U.S. friends, you can do the same thing next time.

U know what, millennials kind of went off with the whole "doggo pupper" thing

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

There is a new MAHA conspiracy theory that LED lights are bad for you and that we all need to buy incandescents for our Freedoms™️ or something

LORDE if you can hear me LORDE we need you at this time please LORDE

Kind of joking-not-joking when I say moving to minnesota helped me get sober... vibes were so good i didnt have to smoke weed anymore...

Goal is to call 1 representative per day and rotate out. Tina Smith..... you're UP

Masking is a good practice in showing strangers you care about their health, and is very "anti tyrannical government" chic. I'm working on masking in public more. I know it's been several years at this point, but it's still a challenging (but good) social practice in going against the grain, for me.

I told my parents Kendrick Lamar was a Christian Rapper and I think it worked
