vacation going well so far! 📍Berlin

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

uh oh feeling that horrible "hope" other people have once described

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

SWEATER SUNDAY 🥹🌈 #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Took my dog to a pet psychic today and they told us that he is an extremist

New Jersey Transit’s train engineers reached a tentative deal to end their three-day strike that had halted service for some 100,000 daily riders, including routes to Newark airport and across the Hudson River to New York City.

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

all right everybody, here we go links, trackers, webinars, templates, and all the free support you need if you just got that nightmare NEA email on Friday please share far and wide, you do NOT have to be in Oregon to use these resources

My second NEA piece in two days. Its distressing but at the same time, I feel like this attempt to control the arts is a testament to its power. And why it’s more important than ever for audiences to step up and support it playbill.com/article/nati...

Do not come in my mentions claiming that the public isn’t engaging in widespread pandemic denialism when you’re referring to Covid in the past tense.

these stitch stoppers are my fave purchase from our Wool Walk

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

they want us poor, sick and desperate

got my first round edits back for a journal article I’m working on!! big leagues! I need some Passive / Active Voice Bootcamp, my muscles are soft from years with no editors 😅

In TV and film, this problem begins with actors and crew being required routinely to work 12+ hour days. Where are the unions? www.theguardian.com/culture/2025... #TV #film #theatre

I mean I liked the White Lotus finale a lot… thinking about the fact that many desire every question answered and every ball caught and every reaction played out. seems to speak to a deeper cultural (spiritual?) issue of an inability to sit with the unresolved. can it be okay to not know?

Demonstrators gathered across the U.S. on Saturday for a day of protest against President Trump and his policies. Read more: nyti.ms/3Ebi0oi

thank you donald trump for your diligent work as you make the US a stagnant, backwater pariah state and playground for sociopathic tech oligarchs

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

tonight’s bill @ NYTW. amazing!

🧶 Knitting is radical—it defies haste, values skill, and honors tradition in a world that craves the disposable. Every stitch is an act of care, every row a quiet defiance against the rush. Craft with purpose, create with intention. ✨ #UplandFiberCo #LGBTQCrafters #MenKnitToo #MindfulMaking

🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody. We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

the only thing missing from this otherwise perfect birthday is sour cream and onion Ruffles, to compliment my evening viewing of Ratatouille ofc. 🎉

More arts workers showing courage: some theaters (including the Public) released a statement reaffirming their commitment to DEI and trans/NB artists. Then some OTHER theaters (with the ACLU) sued the NEA playbill.com/article/publ...

WIP Wednesday! working up my first raglan cardigan (how?!) and a beautiful fade 🌈 #knitsky #wipwednesday

"democrats plan to color coordinate to communicate opposition" is the biggest loser shit i've ever heard. School Spirit Week-ass action. "I do not give facebook my permission"-ass action. are they hitting themselves in the head with hammers at every DNC event

Today @dramatistsguild.bsky.social @ncacensorship.bsky.social @artistsatrisk.bsky.social @penamerica.bsky.social and others expressed deep concern over the Trump Administration’s recent moves to impose ideological control over federally funded cultural programs: #theatresky #artssky #advocacy

I’ve finished two sweaters this week (!!!) - one from April 2024 that was put in time-out, and one from October 2024. I wish I wasn’t so slow, but I am super duper proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish! #knitsky

The erasure of the Jan. 6 records comes while the administration is also seeking to whitewash the teaching of U.S. history, threatening to withhold funds from schools that teach about America’s troubled history of racial and gender discrimination. By @alecmac.bsky.social

No one in the arts should stand for this. If you’re on an NEA panel this year, it’s time to resign. If you’ve recently been awarded a grant, you should turn it down. And you should do it as publicly as possible.

Listen friends - gather your hope where you can. People showed up in all 50 states on a moments notice. Voicemail boxes of senators are filling up. Lawsuits are being filed. Look at all the good people. And do not forget to take care of yourselves. Seriously. This is a long haul.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Aliens (completely bewildered): so the groundhog Me: is clairvoyant, yes

reeeeeeally freakin surreal to be developing a play about taking down Nazis right now. (see: Hannie Schaft + the Oversteegen women / the Dutch Resistance)

Not only that, THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT. Overwhelming you shuts you down. It hurts your ability to resist. Take care of yourself. Focus on the topics you have capacity to. Listen to the people who help you think this through. Take breaks. Listen to your body. And find community. Most important.

excited to present at the digital LMDA Conference on Sunday! locking in to Google Slides 😤

@booker.senate.gov why can’t I leave a message or speak with anyone in your DC office? Your constituents need access to your ear!

#ICYMI: After years of heightened scrutiny by GOP lawmakers, NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases could be overhauled or effectively dismantled under the incoming Trump administration. By @annamaria.bsky.social

brown sugar French toast bread pudding! a perfect “waste-not” bake.

long after the rains have stopped Adrienne Rich

the beagle is seemingly aware the appropriate response to the events of this week is “thousand yard stare of general anxiety and malaise”

I’m trying really really fucking hard to not feel The Dread. and I feel like I’m losing. is there anything helping anyone??

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?
