There's something that @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social regularly says which is that you don't need to live in someone else's imagination. I think that it's so important to hold on to this. Work to create the world YOU want to live in rather than to succumb to the one designed by your enemy.

I love O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? almost irrationally. George Clooney is just about at his funniest best as an insufferable blowhard. Even John Turturro's teeth are funny. A film that is as much of a pleasure to listen to as it is to watch.

The personal can be more dangerous than the political and perhaps more oppressive than the tyranny of a military-backed regime in Egypt or the religious zealots in Texas is the greater day-to-day tyranny of “What will people say?” FEMINIST GIANT Daily Dose: 101 www.feministgiant.com/p/daily-dose...

1. Good news: Multiple hospitals are resuming trans care under 19 years old after Trump's trans ban was blocked temporarily in court. Writer Mira Lazine reports on hospitals in Arizona, Michigan, and Virginia restarting care. Not all hospitals have, though. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Picked Sarah up from the airport late last night. She has de-aged since I saw her in late December. Two and a half months on the beach seems to have rebirthed my girl.

Alright Richmond, what's your guess on snow totals? I am in the city, so I am saying 4 inches.

"Whether we’re trying to create a giving circle or build relationships with our neighbors or organize an action or just gather some friends together for soup, we are all flush with how-tos and lists of actions and toolkits. None of these alone will flip the switch in us required to act."

Saoirse and I are on a mission today to do something nice for Willow. We are going to Lowe's. There may be a cat that needs petting at Lowe's and we are committed.
