In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

One of my favorite sci-fi tropes is machines/aliens trying to understand humans. Look, first of all, WE don't even understand us.

Wise man…

Accurate.

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money.

👏👏 Power move.

reverse image search exists. you have no excuse to post someone else's uncredited art. “i love this but idk who made it.” it takes like five minutes to find the original source. put in the work.

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

Just a girl waiting in line at a luxury athletics store to try and win free leggings while the country crumbles around me. Typical Saturday.

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.

You do realize it's not just one man, right? The U.S. will not just "go back to normal." There are deeper, darker machinations at play. If you cut off the head of a hydra, another one will grow in its place.

Ahhh…turns out we’re old. Yay.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Grateful to all the little black and brown girls who befriended me growing up, because I see these clueless white people out here and I'm thankful I'm not one of them.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

I don’t believe in pitting women against each other. Two singers can be beloved at the same time.

When I ask you how you’re doing, 99% of the time, I want to hear the answer.

Adulting is hard if you had parents who let you enjoy your childhood. The rest of us have been adulting since we were 8.

Another day, another reminder not to put your heroes on pedestals. 😞

My team is hiring and the top two candidates are equally amazing (in different ways). How do you choose between them?

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

Reading fiction. It amazes me how few people have picked up a novel since they graduated school.

There have been 13 fatal aircraft accidents so far in 2025 in the US. I'm a bit terrified to go see my family or take a vacation.

Being selective about who deserves your time and attention is self-care. 🌸✨

Whoops, should’ve read the trigger warnings on this book. I never have in the past, so I wasn’t expecting the main character’s bestie to suddenly off himself. Now my husband is like, “Why are crying at a book?” And I’m like, “Because it’s sad. Some of us have feelings, you know.”

There a lot to be angry about these days, but a lot to be grateful for, too: good friends, generous neighbors, awesome family, amazing job. Can’t let my anger rob me of the all the good things in this world.

TY to @anneapplebaum.bsky.social for summarizing the last couple weeks and tying it all together. "Info taken from grant databases is... fed to internet trolls who are now hounding grant recipients, in order to smear people and organizations that had legitimate, congressionally approved goals."

it really doesn't get any more disgusting than this. sick

Good advice for men.

The Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General is warning the public of a new scam trying to lure potential retirement applicants to their site. THIS EMAIL IS NOT FROM SSA, it is a scam. If you are a victim please report to oig.ssa.gov

WE know. It's the asshats who voted for these people that don't know.

Wondering if Republicans just need better friends. Maybe if they had more love in their lives, they wouldn't be so filled with hate.

They got them! Lots of smiles in my text messages today.

I'm intrigued.

What kind of fresh bullshit is this??

Same.
