What is the point if we don't fight? Because there is still so much to fight for.

Exactly!!!

Every time I visit the Washington Post they ask me to re-subscribe. I don't think I've ever seen a subscription offer where the annual rate is *more* expensive than the monthly one. How dumb are they? (Also: fuck 'em, I wouldn't resubscribe for $1/year until Bezos sells.)

They choose this. They choose this. They choose this. Melania. Usha. Ivanka. They are adults and they choose all this. They can leave at any moment, and every day they are still choosing this. They are not victims, they are henchwomen.

So a little man in every sense of the word. May one of his acquire HIV/AIDS and there be no help for them so he feels as those folks who lose their loved ones do. I'm sorry I just cannot be all happy and light in the face of such blatant racism!

It would hardly be a new thought to say "we need to work on our critical thinking skills" but I do think it might be worth clarifying that the *point* of critical thinking skills is to be able to create your own meaning out of the things going on in the world.

I’m at a video game competition/conference with one of the kids. It is amazing. Lots of “weirdos” (in the best way) just being themselves. This is the America I want to live in. I want people to be able to not fit in and find their own way.

fun fact: my family and i do this pretty much every night since @852dude.bsky.social taught me about the buffalo part

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

WTAF?!

MAGA stunt: 60 House Republicans traveled to Texas to pressure Biden for less inclusive immigration policies. Then, they accused Biden of hiding the immigrants they expected to find there. Really MAGA!? 😂 Support Dems opposing Trump. http://dlvr.it/THZ3Hz

the thing about the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause in the constitution is that just because you can *imagine* a world where there *might have been* a debate over its scope doesn't mean there was *actually* a debate over its scope

THAT WOULD BE A BIG NO!!

I could accept everyone becoming dumber if we were also becoming nicer (golden retriever-fication) instead of getting more evil

And he wants a misfit to clear out the non Trump officers

Had an awesome time chatting with Jon Stewart & @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social talking about how to fight the dumpster fire. Gear up. It’s time to brawl.

Allowe to say Mr Trump is way ahead of his skis....this will be fun.

WRITING TIP FOR TODAY Sale racks at bookstores. I'm dead serious. Buy reference books when they are practically giving them away and build a little library. I cannot explain the difference between a book and the ENTIRE WEB. A good reference book will give you a dozen ideas in the first chapter.

PSA ... we've upgraded the security system in the home library ...

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.

GET ALL OF YOUR VACCINES NOW PEOPLE.

Since moving here from the hellscape that is X, my feed is somehow now full of posts about how awesome libraries are and I am HERE FOR IT! Support your local libraries, they provide a warm space safe for everyone and the free gift of knowledge!
