I want my government to be boring and competent enough so that I don’t have to think about it every goddamn minute.

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

Today's Headlines

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Let’s review The Repeat Room by Jesse Ball, my favorite book of 2025 so far! #booksky #bookreview #bookrec #bookrecommendation

"The halftime show was boring." Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

*sigh* #Aldi #DEI

Honestly, fair

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ā€˜DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

In my world, ā€œthe talkā€ is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color. Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: ā€œIf we disappearā€¦ā€ Different fear. Same America.

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

Well this spells out what he's going after next. Dept of Education is up next on the chopping block.

Stop fucking saying he blamed ā€œDEI,ā€ which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or ā€œcontroversialā€ but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Reading is a race; a race against time. How am I supposed to finish this whole-ass TBR when I can’t stop adding new books to it??? #booksky

NEW: At least 6 senior FBI officials have been ordered to resign or be fired by Monday. They include those that oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations. www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

I’m a leaf on the wind, watch how I blow in and out of every social media platform between week-long stretches

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

Saving so I can play a bunch of new games later

Very recently, I was talking to people about the lack of a good outlet for ebooks, and I cannot tell you how utterly delighted I am by this news. It’s awfully nice to be utterly delighted about ANYTHING at the moment. bookshop.org/ebooks

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is the movie I bring up every time A. I. comes up. THEY WARNED US! WHY DOES NO ONE EVER LISTEN?!

Peak book lover joy: That glorious Libby notification saying, ā€œYour hold is ready.ā€ It’s basically a love letter from the library straight to my soul.

Got home from a 4-day work trip and basically slept for most of 24 hours. It’s like a work hangover

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration. Big mistake. Huge.
