Nashville with my girls, not featured all the randos we befriended. Would you believe these are the only three pictures I took?

How come no one told me Josh Segarra is on Abbott Elementary now?

Here’s a little truth bomb: America isn’t drowning in $36 trillion in debt because regular people have Social Security and Medicare. It’s because billionaires and corporations aren’t paying their fair share. End of discussion.

I love talking about food re: cuisines, cooking, dining, community I hate talking about food re: dieting

Boycotts work. The NAACP advises consumers to avoid Lowe’s, Target, Walmart, Amazon, Meta, McDonald’s, & Tractor Supply until they reaffirm their commitments to fairness. The advisory praises Costco, Apple, Ben & Jerry’s, e.l.f. Cosmetics and JPMorgan Chase & Co for standing firm.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Hang the fucking plane crashes on Trump and Musk for fuck's sake. They would do it to a Democrat without even hesitating for one second.

We really are in deep shit.

Black scholars argued this incessantly after the war. Britain killed 10’s of millions of Indians, Belgium enslaved and genocided the Congo, France slaughtered its Algerian subjects. Nazi Germany was the logical extension of US and European colonialism, not an aberration.

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately. The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Elon Musk is an unelected official who needs to gtfo of all affairs immediately.

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

This is a genocidal war crime endorsed by the president of the United States

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

This month has been really difficult and I will be happy to say hello to February tomorrow.

Ready to watch The Nickel Boys this weekend and I’m on pace w my reading goal! #BookSky

Pace I’m hoping to keep in 2025

51! A pretty good year #BookSky

Summer 2021 Ginny: Kyland 🥵🥵 Winter 2024 Ginny: Kyland 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Perfect pal

Boomers are nostalgic for how much better things used to be. But forget the part where wealthy people were taxed over 90% from the 1940s-60s. Want nice things? Less wealth inequality helps. A Lot. (Also like so many things, Reagan screwed us all.)

And POSE

November was rough, but the books were good! #BookSky #Storygraph

He made the jump to the bed, only just

Never forget when my French boss told me Notre Dame was on fire and I said cool and kept it moving cause I thought he was talking about college basketball

Bluesky getting the obligatory plate pic

Not news because it was a gigantic bestseller, but project hail mary is very good #BookSky

I’m picking between three books to read next, should I read Project Hail Mary, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida, or Name of the Wind?

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Everyone at work is being so mean today and I need them to stop for a second and hold space for the lyrics of defying gravity

i hope chappell roan is even meaner in 2025 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you.

Who’s your celebrity birthday twin?? If you ask me, I’ve got Mindy Kaling, Solange Knowles, and Beanie Feldstein. But most of the world would say it’s Lionel Messi.

Is watching the west wing for the first time 2024 insane
