Today, @hbomax.bsky.social airs their new documentary "Thoughts & Prayers" on the $3 billion (!) shooting-preparedness industry and the way the US has pursued moneymaking rather than effective policy change to keep kids safe. @thepom.bsky.social reviews it here: www.the-pom.com/p/review-hbo...

I’ve never been for sale, and I never will be. Join End Citizens United and me for a virtual event this Wednesday where we’ll talk about how we can make California a state that works for everyone. RSVP: www.mobilize.us/endcitizensu...

To this day PR people ask me if Intuit really asked me to delete this part of the interview and shake their heads in sad disbelief. My friends what we sell here is our ethics policy

Not sure about this new Andrew Cuomo ad

I was quite surprised to show up at my parents house to find this baby owl in a box. They found it on the ground in their yard along with two dead siblings. Luckily we were able to get this guy over to a wildlife rehab place. They report that it is doing quite well.

@darrenpardee.dissky.com - thanks for the Folks dinner recommendation! We went last night. The tomato/cheese/bread was unbelievably good. Had to order a boring pizza due to the picky child, but it was still great.

Thank you City of Benicia Mayor and City Council forr your consistent support of our LGBTQIA2S+ community!

Despite the politics of the city council, the Huntington Beach community continues to show that they reject homophobia and transphobia. Excellent showing tonight.

Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.

Take a moment and donate whatever you can spare. Our local LGBTQ+ center has received 20k less in donations than last year (which was already down from 2023). Grants will be interesting going forward. Please help as you are able. Queer folks helping Queer folks. www.solanopride.org

Struggling with social cues as an autistic person isn't necessarily missing them entirely. It's sometimes being painfully aware that someone's annoyed with you... knowing you're making it worse with every word... and having absolutely NO idea why it's happening or how to fix it.

the entire democratic party needs to bury every clinton consultant at sea and just go pritzker mode. how much bigger a softball can they give you than a suit saying “we want your entire lineage in factories forever”

Trump has now arrested a judge for a decision she made in her courtroom. His FBI director bragged about the arrest online but then deleted the post. They know this is unconstitutional.

What happens when you're rooted in the ground and can't escape 🔥? If you're a 🌳, luckily your ancestors developed a host of adaptive responses they passed on to you. Here are a few we saw in our #PalisadesFire fieldwork. @ucanr.bsky.social @luskininnovation.bsky.social

There's so much power that comes from including kids in protests. This is what I did in 2017, trying to get our previous congressional rep to meet with us. He’s grown up knowing that he can use his voice for good, he’s an expert canvasser, plus he made some amazing friends.

Hey all, since Orange County Republican Congresswoman Young Kim won’t do a town hall, we are going to have one this Saturday in her district in the City of Orange. The people deserve answers! www.mobilize.us/dpoc/event/7...

DO NOT DO THIS. Don't give DOGE your information of would-be dissenters.

This is Judy Bullockus, hard-right member of the Capo Unified School Board in Orange County, California. During a meeting last night, she dropped the n-word. I am calling for her to resign. Please share. These people hate the exposure of sunlight. #resist #truth

Post-vacation reentry has been tough, but getting back to our usual routine feels good.

This trip to Aulani has reinforced that I’m much more of a Disneyland person than a Disney vacation person. But the lazy river is absolutely top notch.

We've heard that the HB librarians are getting attacked over the MAGA plaque. Please don't do this! They are not in control of what the HB City Council does. If you care about this issue, please direct your concerns to the council members. @socalextremismwatch.com @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

Got it. Any noteworthy black person Is celebrated "because of their race." Any noteworthy white person is celebrated on their merits. That's their logic.

This is the second day in a row that I’ve agreed with Josh Hawley on something. This feels a bit weird…

Spring seed & garden swap just scheduled for 2/22/25 in Long Beach. Safe space event. Free. Community-based, grassroots. Don’t come if you’re MAGA because you don’t support people.

The next #seedswapsocal will be at Organic Harvest Gardens in Long Beach! Hope all members of our kind, inclusive, sharing garden community can make it 💚 #gardening

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Knitting during kid activities is one of my favorite things to do. Today I’m watching my kid rock climb (he’s on the wall in the background) while working on a new sweater.

If you are a disabled federal worker or contractor who worries that their accommodations might be compromised thanks to President Trump's anti-DEIA executive orders, I would love to talk to you. Message me through Signal at 909-957-6133. I will protect your identity

Spent my weekend watching snow fall in the beautiful San Bernardino mountains.

Embers can be carried miles away by the wind and create new spotfires. “What happens with those embers is they get thrown at the building, they hit the walls, the siding, and then drop to the base and collect at the base,” - Yana Valachovic #CAwx heatmap.news/climate/los-...

Coming to the end of Tudor Corner, this year’s LEGO modular building. Every year LEGO releases a new modular. These buildings are extremely detailed and are made to snap together to create cityscapes. They are always my favorite build of the year.

Ending 2024 with a new sweater. This is Penny by Tin Can Knits, but I swapped the reverse stockinette for regular stockinette because I'm a hater like that. The yarn came from a friend so I get warm fuzzy feelings inside and out while wearing it.

Hey all! I love taking on private clients for script reads because I get the chance to go really in depth with their themes, character journeys, and bigger picture goals. If you’re looking for some in-depth feedback, DM me for rates and such!

I like to get to school pickup 10 minutes early so I can sneak in a bit of knitting and quiet time. This is the Field Sweater, using Madelinetosh DK Twist in Cousteau.

Adam Gray up by 227 votes. Let's keep curing those ballots. Can you help?

Something I didn’t comment enough on the last time was the way how people make fun of trump using his body or perceived “ADHD” like behavior. I didn’t comment cause - why defend Trump. I don’t plan to this time either, but we should all try to have funnier jokes.

It’s important to pace yourselves tomorrow. I made this handy guide to help👇

I am so so proud of all the work that organizers here in Orange County did to help make this a reality.

Percy Glover, once incarcerated in Flint’s county jail, now leads its voter outreach efforts. Since taking the job, he estimates he’s helped over 2,000 people cast their ballots: “My job is to make voting real.” boltsmag.org/flint-m...

If only I could be Maya, spending my day sleeping on a quilt.

There's no better feeling than a perfectly fitting hand knit sweater. Finished this one earlier in the week. It's Prairie Fire by Tin Can Knits, yarn is Tosh DK Twist (my fav sweater yarn!) in Wino Forever.
