Happy …And also with you Day, to all who are currently in recovery from being Catholic when Star Wars came out.

Drop your health influencers and follow policy wonks. You can’t be a well organism in a sick host. You can pretend for a while, but when the ship goes down, there will be no fully well survivors.

@shopify.bsky.social did it!! My tshirt is out for delivery in time for Town Meeting! 🥳 #mundussinecaesaribus

Remember during Trump’s first term when we all felt a huge surge of hope? It was right when he got out of the hospital too early and it seemed certain he would die of COVID.

Bernie Sanders is eighty-three (83) years old. Let it go. Do the hard work that will get you to fill in the circle for a non-male, non-white candidate and we will break free of this destructive vortex.

The #handsoff protests were huge, but so was the Women’s March & it didn’t save Roe. WHAT’S NEXT??

Welcome back to the Revolution! #handsoff #boston

The future is flippered.

I’m still very confused on why Elon Musk is involved at all in any of this.

Cory Booker will become the first American Senator to be sponsored by vegan energy drinks.

Speech and debate kids will save us all and I’m proud to judge the Massachusetts State Tournament. These kids are amazing. 🗣️✨

When we sing “from sea to shining sea”, it is #TheAtlantic that is shining.

Protest locally! Talk locally! Disengaging from your community to focus on Washington DC is the best way to cede control. Ten people together in a small town gets attention and sparks action.

Am I the only one struggling to get my head around placing the Jewish community at the center of a white supremicist agenda? Yes, protect Jewish community members, always. But at the loss of free speech? Freedom to assemble? Right to due process?

The most important thing I have learned is to hop on social media when a story breaks because the takes are absolutely hilarious.

Only one day left to place an order! worldwithoutcaesars.com

If the laws Musk is breaking ever catch up with him, I think Luigi would make a good cell mate.

Celebrating this must involve a dance. The limbo. Because the bar has been lowered almost to the floor.

Let’s just say, I’m watching Dexter to unwind these days.

If they need techniques for passing notes undetected or reading books under their desks, GenX is here to help. 🫡

Has anyone made a bingo card out of the random numbers that the alt National Park service keeps posting? If so, I would like one. Please advise. @altnps.bsky.social

MARCH

We can’t get anyone in our town to run for Planning Board because folks inclined to contribute are focused on the national catastrophes. Please, please, please run for local office! Even if you are in a liberal safe haven, there are always levers you can pull to contribute to the greater good.

RFK is about to show America that the real secret to health is intergenerational wealth.

Very glad she finally spoke up, and I am reassured by the track record we have for hearing women who report these kinds of violations and holding the perpetrators accountable. 😳 www.facebook.com/share/r/1A5f...

This was a good year to have watched Zone of Interest.

If you are tired of the snow, hang in there. My dog is working on eating all of it.

This.

On this date in 2020 we also thought life would kind of just continue normally despite the crisis that was obviously brewing.

Dear RFK, Just… No. ~a Naturopathic Doctor

Anyone else wondering how long we’ll even have access to stories like this? What’s more subversive than honest journalism when building uncontestable power? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/u...

It’s time to learn your neighbors’ names.

Ok “evidence-based” healthcare is a human right. 🙄 Rules we never thought needed to state.

Mitch McConnell voting against Hegsworth is one thing, and not one other non-Murkowski, non-Collins Republican joining him is a whole other thing.

Breaking news: the boomers will never learn that “because I said so“ is not a style of governance.

Not to be an 808, but as my youngest child enters his last semester of 8th grade, I have to come to grips with the death of my last possible prayer of staying current on slang. 🪦

My feed is currently all news, which is great, but I’m looking for my #MHC community. Then some other interests, but #Mt.Holyoke forever shall be, so I’ll start there in my search for real people. 👀💙

@warren.senate.gov You’re amazing! So many young girls and women are watching, including my Debate/ Policy passionate 17yo daughter. Keep going!! 🙏🏼😎🔥

A moment of personal growth: When he finished his workout, the guy on the bike next to me at the YMCA got off and said “I don’t know how you do that without music“. I responded, “I lost my AirPods this weekend,“ and not “I am driven by an inner rage that I can never turn off“. :::applause:::

The challenge of working in patient care these days is that it feels like working retail, and none of us chose sales.

People say the pendulum will keep swinging back and forth, but it feels more and more like the pendulum has been grabbed and quietly brought to rest at its nadir.
