I taught my kids about democracy tonight by having them vote on which movie to watch and pizza to order. I then picked the movie and pizza because I'm the one with the money.

Last week, 6,709 people signed their strike card. Since 1/20/25, hundreds of thousands have. But we need MORE. Share at protests, put up flyers, talk with your community. Can you get (3) people to sign their strike card this week? That’s one step closer to a strike. It’s time to go all in.

Went to the Antique Rose Emporium and picked up a bunch of plants for the garden. Mostly natives. I’ll post pictures when they’re planted but for now, here’s a picture of one of the gardens there.

stealmytesla.com This website made my day!

Had a nice hike last weekend at Pedernales Falls State Park. We ended up leaving a day earlier than planned due to a fire. We weren’t evacuated, but it was so smokey and windy, that it didn’t feel safe.

🚨 We need you to call your Democratic senator ASAP if their name is on this list. Tell your senator you will have their back if they do the right thing and vote NO on the extreme MAGA spending bill that would give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

This cool little spider made the best web in our bedroom. Never dusting again! #spiderwebs

@tamu.bsky.social has decided to ban all drag shows at the University, canceling Draggieland less than a month before the show. I’m extremely disappointed that the one thing that I thought showed this place was accepting has been cancelled. I’ve signed a petition. chng.it/sCkfpDvyZF

If you’re at home today, not spending money, and feeling bored, you might be wondering, “What could I do?” Well, task one: you can make random reports on this website: enddei.ed.gov

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. That means: 🚫 No gas from corporate giants 🚫 No fast food chains 🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Boycott is friday!

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to. #Resist

A great article about Luigi’s day in court. Written and illustrated by Molly Crabapple #freeluigi www.theverge.com/law/617946/l...

We’ve had 4,635 people sign our strike card today! Will you be one of them to get us to atleast 5K? Our average daily strike card count ranges from 5-15K+ btw. 🪧 generalstrikeus.com 🪧

There are a bunch of streams from this angle, please share if you have a better/preferred stream

Amazon will no longer let you download your ebooks for safe keeping. You have until Wednesday to download the ones you’ve purchased. What can you do? Buy your ebooks from bookshop.org instead and support your local shop. Or use your library! lithub.com/next-week-am... #booksky #amazon #boycott #read

Went on a hike this weekend and saw this little guy growing in a tiny patch of sun! #fungifriends #mushroom

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Remember everyone! General Strike on Feb 28! Don’t buy anything. No groceries, no fast food, no gas… anything. We can do it!

turnto10.com/news/nation-... Luigi and Bernie crushing the small figure donations 🙏🙏

Who needs an $80k grocery getter? Not this lady!

Went on a nice hike today! A cow blocked our way, we made a water crossing, saw some flowers, and saw a lot of trees!

Went to Katy today and saw some dragon dancers. The red guy on the end bumped his head on the awning at one point and kept going!

Trying to stop doomscrolling by reading more books! Any recommendations? I’m into cozy fantasy right now. I usually like dystopian fiction, but since we’re living the non-fiction now, I’m gonna skip it. fable.co/yarnhooligan...

Listening to the Ska Shores record by @skatunenetwork.bsky.social My favorite is the Museum song. It’s so big and epic sounding!

Today’s sunrise plus bonus moon!

Todays sunrise. Slightly better scenery than before.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Sugar Pie is trying on a new hat today!

Please help my friend Jordan @indiedynamo.bsky.social who lost his brother and father in the Eaton Fire. He's spent the week hospitalized and will need help rebuilding his life! Every donation and share helps! gofund.me/2256dfa3
