It is March 2, 2025. My plan was to leave the world on March 2, 2024. What a difference in a year. I still have bad days. But reasons to stay are easier to find each day. Thankful for family, for friends, for library kids who ARE going to save the world. Once a library kid, always a library kid 💚

My wife, Rep. Zooey Zephyr, is working her ass off in the Montana legislature, railing against bill after bill, day after day. This is just one of many speeches I've watched her give... but it's one of the most powerful. This on a bill that criminalizes us for being trans. Watch her speak.

#Juneau! Trying to rehome our cats as a pair b/c my wife’s allergies got rly bad. We’re so sad about it & would prefer to not send them to the shelter. They are spayed, indoor, good w/ cats, dogs, & kids. They ❤️ people & are not shy at all. The shorthair is 1 and the longhair is 4. Please share!

McMahon First of all, I think teaching is one of the most noble professions… Bernie: Would you recommend to states… that teachers make at least $60,000 a year? McMahon: Continues to avoid question.

Yay the Grand Canyon can become some billionaire's private resort now! I know Zuckerberg's gonna love those gorgeous views in his new sprawling Grand Canyon that he has architects carve an artisanal mansion into the side of & puts security on so no one can trespass.

Another reason why people are switching to owning physical copies of media.

Bessie Coleman was the first African-American woman and first Native American to hold a pilot license, and is the earliest known Black person to earn an international pilot's license. Coleman earned her license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale on June 15, 1921.

Still a Bernie Bro. He’s out there spreading the word about what’s actually happening and creating a grassroots movement to Fight Oligarchy. “Trust me. These phone calls work… If people at the grassroots level say, ‘Hey, you better pay attention to us or you’re not going back to Washington.’”

File under things making me giggle:

I’m seeing lots of comments on social media saying things like, “Your protests/whining/complaining doesn’t matter. Nothing is going to happen on the federal level.” This simply not true. Showing up matters. Your voice matters. Here’s an example right here! Keep going.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

I waited 50 minutes to talk with @nickbegich.bsky.social at his office in FBX. After a long back and forth where he asked me how many people *I* think should work for the federal government (??), he said he ultimately thinks what's happening at the federal level will be good for #Alaska. #AlaskaSky

Save the date, Juneau! Any other Alaskan towns ready to get back out there & fight? #50501

“Things aren’t looking great right now, BUT defeat is a self-fulfilling prophecy.” (1/3)

In their latest attempt to rewrite our history, the Trump administration removed references to trans & queer people from the Stonewall National Monument webpage. No one — ESPECIALLY Donald Trump — can erase us from society. Demand the National Park Service restore our history: hrc.im/stonewall

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Tens of thousands of American children studying in Pentagon schools serving US military families have had all access to library books suspended for a week while officials conduct a “compliance review” under Trump’s crackdown on DEI and gender equality. 😡 #LGBTQ+ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
