We heard there's a new mayoral candidate on the block. Jews For Racial & Economic Justice aka the Anti-Cuomo Social Club have something to say about it. #HellNoCuomo #JewsSayNo2Cuomo

Oh nothing, the kid who Elon allowed to access our sensitive information was a eugenicist who "was racist before it was cool."

So much of this current fuckery is strategically focused on disempowering women and taking them out of the work force. No surprises there except perhaps how egregious it is.

As a scicomm professor, the list of forbidden terms (which I haven’t verified yet and so haven’t commented on in a professional capacity yet) makes me go cross eyed because HOW DO YOU EVEN DO SCIENCE without using words like “female,” but this suggestion is delightful

Maybe the Grammies are actually better when they can be openly anti-administration, and they feel like they know that their progressive values are what enliven us. That said, if anyone has a link to a non-blurry video of Doechii's performance from last night, please share the link.

I don’t just want the democrats to not vote to approve Trump’s appointees, I want them to chain themselves to the doors or gates of the Capitol until we do not have a plan for a 30,000 bed concentration camp at Guantanamo. The word for people who continued to work in the Nazi government is Nazis.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but a major crisis of this moment is that the state is abducting people, gestapo-style, for having moved here recently. Please consider attending a Know Your Rights training to learn what you can do to protect yourself and your neighbors.

Will be drip feeding some of my research in the coming weeks to (re)introduce myself to folks on here! Going to start with this one where a bunch of us wrote about the impact of white supremacy in body image research and practice: doi.org/10.1016/j.bo...

Please PLEASE go comment in favor of this rule. The subminimum wage for disabled folks is vile and evil and must be eliminated. The poverty rate of disabled folks is astronomical compared to abled folks. There is no doubt this disgusting discriminatory policy is part of the reason why.

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned #onhere putting together a mini-series of workshops for people new to activism and organizing. Well I put in the work last week to pull it together. “How Do I Take Action Where I Am” is a series of 5 sessions in Dec and Jan.

Folks, remember again that "block lists" on Bluesky are being used for mischief, by putting a lot of people on them and then giving them names that sound reasonable as people to block. Don't use them. Curate your own blocks - it's still small enough here to do that.

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

Just walked by a huge dude miserably telling his dog, “Muffin, it’s pouring” and watched Muffin stop sniffing and peeing to begin to trot home. NY is getting some much-needed rain! And I need a dog.

If you are feeling weltschmerz, consider organizing. Join an organization that is building power for people, like a union in your workplace, a mutual aid org, or @demsocialists.bsky.social. If your workplace doesn’t have a union, you can start one using the tools at workerorganizing.org.

I really enjoyed drawing this portrait of my brother’s sweet dog Callum with markers and I’m kinda a fan even though I’ve Wallace-and-Gromit-ified the distance between his eyes. 🐶 🖼️ 🎨
