The sun has appeared after about three weeks of grey! It’s a magical and balmy 32F/0C, and there’s about 14in/35.5cm of snow in the backyard. The street is (somewhat?) plowed, and I’m heading out for a walk in the woods. Hope you all have a great Saturday and do a thing to refill your cup. x. ❤️

Rest and self-care keep us all grounded and better able to fight the good fight. This whole mess is a marathon, not a 100-meter dash, so rest your body and spirit, and come back when you’re ready. We will be here. 🫶

Using bigots’ words and rules against them is absolutely brilliant.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

EFFIN FINALLY. “As plaintiffs put it, ‘efforts to foster inclusion have been widespread and uncontroversially legal for decades,’” Judge Abelson wrote, adding that “plaintiffs’ irreparable harms include widespread chilling of unquestionably protected speech.”

I forget where I read it, but someone online suggested that maybe we need to dump a bunch of Teslas in the Boston Harbor and declare independence against fascism and oligarchy.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Movies you've watched more than six times, GIFs only. (And finally 3, because it’s hilarious and stupid and my go-to comfort movie)

It seems ludicrous that this point needs to be made, but here we are. (I’d also add that someone needs to punch the Nazi in the face.)

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay. They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence! Mustard on the [Be][At] bro. Happy Black History Month!

It's a good idea to get titer testing done while you can ↓ TDAP for example needs 10-year updates. Insurance should cover this (preventative) but best ask yours directly.

Last night I praised Hochul for her strong stance against Trump, his decree that congestion pricing would end, and his “king” bullshit, but today I see we are back to being spineless. Neat, Hochul. You make it impossible to like you.

Hubs asked me a question in English and I replied yn Gymraeg. Either I’m losing my mind (probably true anyhow, tbh) or I’m becoming semi-fluent. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 He looked at me like I was speaking Klingon, so that was also pretty great.

Started this deeply weird book tonight. I’m into it. 📚💙🪐 A woman finds a blob with beady eyes in an alley, and takes it home: “Becoming increasingly sentient, it begins to grow, shift shape, and obey Vi’s commands …Vi is struck with a daring idea: she’ll mold the creature into her ideal partner.”

If you’re struggling with it ALL right now and don’t know what to do about it all, this document is a great place to start. We will survive by keeping each other safe, warm, fed, cared for, housed and clothed. #MutualAid

“New York hasn’t labored under a king in over 250 years … We sure as hell are not going to start now.” I haven’t been much of a Hochul fan, but damn if she’s not one of the few Dems showing a backbone right now! I’m 100 percent behind her.

This is outstanding advice. “Fight Like Hell” will educate you AND fire you up in the best way. My grounding book is “Braiding Sweetgrass.” It inspires me and helps me to envision a different existence for us all, fueled by Indigenous wisdom and science. Necessary now more than ever. x.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.
