Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Someone set a video of that to Yakety Sax and it was one of the most perfect things I had ever seen.

Trying to figure out why every time I see a TikTok regarding increasing percentages regarding the likelihood of that asteroid hitting Earth I get a very serious adrenaline rush. My brain is 100% here for it.

I really don't want to hear dithering wonderings about a "Bonhoeffer moment." Just freaking act like it is - RIGHT NOW - the Martin Niemöller moment.

My wife didn't appreciate hearing my laughter after reading this. She wasn't quite as hysterically incredulous as I was, but she has doubts as to what "honored" entails.

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Sara... #selfemployedartist #ukgifthour #shopindie

This is when my preference for the Dvorak keyboard would 100% come in handy.

It's difficult to find the upper limit of tolerance for anything that is going on right now. That goes for how much news I can digest and how much I can take before I explode in rage, the way I absolutely did last night.

A gentle AND firm reminder to not let Disabled people get left behind in the revolution. Mask up. Make accessible what you safely can. Hold space for those whose rest is less so a privilege and more so an involuntary confinement. Disability is intersectional and nondiscriminatory. Forget no[body].

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

This is the pattern @akilah.bsky.social and I have run up against with Rebel Spirit too: white people do not want to have to consider a past where they are not the heroes.

Yesterday, the fog of January has started to lift and I realized I had been shirking my duty of dispensing birdseed. Thankfully, the birds haven't forgotten about us, and they're all back on our balcony again today.

I feel like I have been living this over the past few days, as TikTok University took over my FYP. My "course load" is a little bit insane, but I'm following several interesting subjects.

I'm absolutely the person who will refuse a hug because I know I will fall to pieces experiencing a moment of kindness. I just got the nicest message from a colleague who said they were thinking of me and in my corner and just... immediate sobs. Really glad it's Friday. This week has been hell.

I think about this piece from @anildash.com multiple times a week: "There is no such thing as 'my Substack', there is only your writing, and a forever fight against the world of pure enshittification." www.anildash.com/2024/11/19/d...

Please, y'all. Get off Substack. They have proved time and time again that they're a right-wing media company, not a neutral newsletter service provider. "The current number one History Substack is Martyr Made by Daryl Cooper, a Holocaust revisionist..." www.thehandbasket.co/p/substack-a...

Finding it very interesting that people are going to Substack when there's already an entrenched Nazi issue happening there. I appreciate the necessity for people to have ease of use and what an established platform can provide but... really?

My brain lied to me when my wife was getting ready for work this morning. It's only Thursday, and I was mentally rehearsing how she would get home and we would have the whole weekend ahead of us. At least it's Friday Eve?

Middling success on this front. Mostly because anything I do for my job is inconsistent right now. I can't tell if that's a good thing or not.

Attempting to follow a co-working stream while I do my job today, because of how distractable I've been lately. We'll see if it's actually that useful or not.

I still think about the conversation I had to have with my parents because I thought maybe my mom just didn't realize the implications of the "funny comparison" she kept making.

I know the mute feature is working well here and it's both a blessing and a curse. It means I'm going to have to seek some things out for myself instead of it being unceremoniously shoved in my face. That will be... something.

the tightrope walk of the next few years: waiting and breaking down vague and terrifying pronouncements before despairing; doing this to show the ways all this can be slowed down, not to sound like the smartest person in the room or to demobilize people; not downplaying that they do sound terrifying

I know yesterday was really stupid. I'm trying to decide if that's the benchmark of measuring the stupidity going forward, or if we start measuring today.
