This has no purpose other than to break our national capacity for public health & outbreak response by the most cruel, insulting, & inhumane means available. To all my colleagues: I don't believe these claims. Thank you for your public service. To DOGE: Fuck you for your public disservice.

I find reading very therapeutic - usually more fantasy fiction and educational nonfiction than DIY, but I want to spend less time on The Internet. And buying books may be the best feeling ever - I got these from a used bookstore because budgets 💵

The important thing right now is not to lose hope and become immobilized. With flooding the zone, that is precisely what they are hoping to do, to make you feel as if you have no voice. It is imperative that every single one of us stay informed and involved. 1/2

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

This is true (tho perhaps less disturbingly) w/ those who are 10 or 20 or 100 x wealthier than the average person. We have to practice awareness - it’s not like breathing. Otherwise people ask you to go on African safaris while you’re trying to afford health insurance as a self-employed artist 🦁

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more. Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

Why focus on the causes we could mitigate for future pandemics when this nonsense is much easier to sell. We are probably 3 days away from Elon blaming Covid on all trans people who ever existed - to which the Schumer/Jeffries crowd will respond w/ a shrug and weird Canva-made post about egg prices

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

As a reference, the $46B that Meta spent building this shit is about the same amount of money Spain used to built its WHOLE high speed rail network. All 2469 miles of it. Zuckerberg got that money selling shitty ads and destroying democracy, and gave the world this.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.
