Whelp, apparently it’s time to start looking for a new job. Not days, but definitely months. So much for the stability of a university.

That moment when you realize you’re doing something almost to the day that you were doing something 33 years ago…I’m sitting on my kid’s bed, which used to be mine, in a tent, reading Greek mythology. I was researching to build a life size Medusa then, now for a Girl Scout camp.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

I yield to the question while retaining the floor. www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

For the Signal bullsh*t with the US gov, what absolutely should not be lost or forgiven is that they set the text messages to auto-delete. This is very much illegal, as it is a direct and intentional effort to hide and destroy government documents. It's a crime and all should be prosecuted.

Local Indivisible member was abducted by ICE in Washington. If you're in the state, please elevate this thread to your electeds and ask for their help in getting his release.

Hey SEATTLE/TACOMA Rally in Tacoma at ICE’s northwest detention facility in support of labor organizer and union member just arrested. THURSDAY 3/27 (Tomorrow)

Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges. There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.

Ray Parker Jr has announced that after a harrowing incident at Disneyland he is now afraid of ghosts

@aoc.bsky.social asked recently what we would like to see our representatives do at the speech last night. She refused to attend, which is a start. More democrats need to actually DO something. Here is my suggestion.

I wasn't kidding. www.etsy.com/listing/1883... Will donate profits to true opposition candidates who are primarying these Quislings.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

LOOK AT US! WE ARE STANDING UP EVERYWHERE!

I’m not a religious…person…but Psalm 109 hits right now.

Nazi punks fuck off for sure but I'd love for nazis who like other types of music and ones who don't like music at all to also fuck off

It was great to join @uaw4121.bsky.social at UW today to fight back against NIH cuts. Groundbreaking research that could lead to lifesaving cures will be lost if these cuts go into effect. This will hurt EVERYONE, in blue districts and red — and we’ll keep standing up to protect health care.

For no particular reason, what the Commonwealth of Virginia thinks about kings.

Cool. Cool cool cool. *screaming infernally*

I think I figured out why my dad had his own shower: I stepped on a clear Lego in the tub.

Yup. Always been a mission to strip us for parts

I have raised a monster…they put the milk in first.

So I’m taking a standing-break (because my body hates me) and I take a minute to read a newspaper I have framed on the wall…and the last article on the page caught my eye. Seems poignant these days

Pushing live production code cooked up by some young coders over a week of sleepness nights in place of a legacy system that is fundamental to the operation of the US government is against every programming best practice.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Good time to see which people are genuine conservatives vs those who are happy to go along with destroying checks and balances for short-run goals

This is the bad place
