I wrote about the very violent, very public detention of a woman for interrupting a speaker at the Kootenai County Republican’s town hall on Saturday. In Idaho, the lines between Republican politics and political violence are thinner than they are in some places; this is a terrifying escalation.

Lots of us who have worked our whole lives have probably been in a situation where our boss's psycho addict friend gets to verbally abuse us in front of everyone, but we probably didn't expect that from a civil service job.

Today I got to meet up with one of Meeks’ besties and cry and laugh and hug and plot some T.O.M.E. archival preservation. She also returned a fancy wool hat Meeks was gonna paint an ouroboros onto for me. There are still Munchie kitty hairs on it. 😭

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

The angriest I've ever been is when my pigs corraled me into my own pig zapper and I was subjected to hours of shocks calibrated to be withstood by hearty domesticated hogs. I felt humiliated, bewildered, and hurt, but looking back, I can't blame them for their pig trickery.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

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.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

jesus christ. But also I am singularly unsurprised by this. Try teaching humanities/ethics in STEM dominant environments, and you will confront these attitudes repeatedly from CS/tech/engineering students. Their education is sadly lacking, and the industry makes it worse.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

On 22 February 1943, three young Germans, members of the White Rose Society -- Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst -- were guillotined by the Nazis for distributing leaflets speaking out against the crimes of the Third Reich. Their bravery, and their cause, will not be forgotten.

Been seeing some cybertrucks in matte black wraps. It’s an improvement. Makes it look smaller, less obnoxious, more like scrap. So if you must have one, wrap it in matte black and drive off a cliff.

And as @himself.bsky.social and @abenewman.bsky.social point out in their book and elsewhere, the negative effects will not be limited only to those technologies directly involved in the weaponization. This is potentially toxic to all US-identified businesses.

I will post only once more about this tonight. Whitman-Walker is how I am Erin. I hold this name because of the resources they provided the trans community. I hope what I have written tonight gives them pause, and all orgs who would do this. Because the wave has hit home and I can’t stand quiet.
