Since Musk wants federal govt employees to send their recent accomplishments to OPM, go ahead and send them yours too.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

From Auden's September 1, 1939.

What it sounds like now when I do push-ups. #thisisforty

Abortion bans kill women.

Where are the defenders of the Constitution now? Article 1, Section 9, and Article 2, Section 1.

Asylum seeking is legal. Asylum seeking is legal. ASYLUM SEEKING IS LEGAL.

Just throwing this one out there...

It's ok to fill your own cup too, and pausing & noticing things that bring you joy keeps your battery charged. Like these prism rainbows- always a wonder to find them again after being absent for a few rainy days. #rainbow #selfcare

2/17 is National "Random Acts of Kindness Day." Monday inspiration.

Boris, bravely facing the rain yesterday. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

They took away USAID funds that keep babies alive and will spend the money (your tax money) on making rich guys richer, and also hiding it, like the sneaky liars they are.

Boris loves to track critters in the snow.

If you remove anyone who ever promoted diversity, equity, and inclusion from a workplace, at best you're left with a bunch of complacent, uninspired losers, and at worst you're left with actively hateful bigots. Which, given the makeup of this administration, not shocking. But certainly not "Great."

Presidents should focus on issues that actually help people.

From Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem, in the essay about spending her 20s in NYC. That last line.

Tommy helping me put dishes away. So helpful. #caturday

The fact that USAID food is rotting at the dock now reminded me of this Grapes of Wrath passage.

It is harmful and unethical to abruptly end medications for a person. The side effects that come without tapering a med down can be brutal. The cruelty is the point

Icy morning in Maryland.

Just a reminder that if Trump actually cared about women's safety, he would target domestic violence, not trans athletes. 🙄 It's like he gets stupider by the minute. med.emory.edu/departments/...
