Mom just suggested that I march right up to the Vatican, introduce myself to the guy in charge, hand him a printed copy of my resume and tell him confidently and forcefully that I’m the right person for the job.

New Hampshire is home to some of our nation’s greatest history and dedicated institutions that help us preserve it. Today, I visited Canterbury Shaker Village and heard about how IMLS funding makes their mission possible. Proud to help lead the fight to protect IMLS and the important role it plays.

3am new-to-me author suggestion: read books by @yumewrites.bsky.social on the flights to/from SK and still not entirely over the one I read a week and a half ago! Both books had female main characters in space, and otherwise were very different from each other. Looking forward to more! =)

Y'know if I had to choose between my tax dollars funding quiet spaces for nursing mothers, free wifi, extensive bike trails, and abundant bathrooms, or sending random brown folk to concentration camps...I know which way I'd choose.

The morning's highlights biking across South Korea include a stranger giving me food in a park and promises that the cherry blossom picture will "get me men". It's going to rain this afternoon 😬

We biked out of Seoul and dang. Really nice trail surrounded by art and exercise equipment and bathrooms every so often... I could get used to this!

Is the SAVE act going to encourage more women getting married to keep their maiden names? That seems like the kind of thing "conservatives" would get in a tizzy about.

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

This great video also reminded me of an interesting facet of motonormativity: people can lose 100 hours a year in traffic and never notice; but they have one late train and it's all "Never again - you can't rely on them"

Between this and the experience at Twitter I think there's now enough evidence to say that "not buying toilet paper for the office" is a core aspect of Elon Musk's management philosophy. It also raises some worrying questions about the state of Musk's own ass.

the problem isn’t that it was cringe, I actually don’t really think that it was cringe at all, the problem is that within ten minutes they let a Trump nominee glide through and started blasting fundraising texts.
