Hey everyone start your morning with this beautiful song, complete with hand drawn cell animation music video. It's beautiful stuff. youtu.be/ucRulNQsuYQ?...

Hey we're only a few days from the Anna's Taqueria corned beef and cabbage St Paddy's Day burrito so do yourself a favor and put it on your calendar so you can make a plan to get one.

Want some warm fuzzy trans news? Read the feelgood story of how I spent 2025 unexpectedly adopting a trans son and ended up accidentally founding a transmasc social club together 🏳️‍⚧️🥹 So proud of Troy for taking the initiative to grow this into something massively important for our local community

you can tell Wired has been doing good journalism lately because there's been increased whining by the extraction class about how Wired mysteriously changed in the decade since tech titans fully revealed themselves as sociopaths from this recent Dorsey interview:

On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2026, we are reposting this amazing interview with Senegalese scholar-activist Rama Salla Dieng about her book African Feminism: A Decolonial History (2021). buff.ly/MRE0oCo

In movements like this, which have no need for authority or even leadership, I would be extremely wary of anyone who calls themselves a leader and then ends the movement.

I've fostered around 35 kittens from Oakland Animal Services (not all at once!! over three years) and I've learned a LOT about baby cats. Here are some do's and don'ts if you find a litter in your backyard, with bonus photos of some of my foster babies!

Executives linked to the spyware developer Intellexa were sentenced to serve eight years in prison, convicted of “breaching the confidentiality of telephone communications,” as well as illegally accessing information systems.

I agree with this and it's something for which community groups should already be developing concrete plans. I think reparations are already due.

Are you a caregiver concerned about ed-tech in K-12 schools in the United States and engaging in work to challenge how your child’s school uses ed-tech? If so, Tony Talbert, @alliethrall.bsky.social, and I invite you to participate in our new project. Join the study at tinyurl.com/CaregiversEd...

Nice to see a judge basically laugh at the claim that Kalshi and other "prediction" markets are not "betting." Gotta kill these sites as soon as possible. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Well this is insane. Julie Le is the ICE lawyer would couldn’t keep up with sending people to concentration camps & told a judge her conveyor belt job “sucked.” Runinng against Ilhan on the “I was doing Pam Bondi’s work until I couldn’t get sleep” is a heckuva pitch. apnews.com/article/juli...

We are so excited to be hosting Ibram X. Kendi, in conversation with our local Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), in celebration of his newest book “Chain of Ideas”! This event will be taking place on March 31st, at 7PM at First Parish Church. Tickets still available at portersquarebooks.com!

From Flock's nationwide surveillance to ICE tools, we are being watched. Is there anyway to go back now? "Police love telling each other about the new capabilities and tools that they've acquired, so this tech can spread from city to city very quickly." A 404 Media guide to surveillance in 2026:

🤯 ”When estrogen fluctuates wildly postpartum or during perimenopause, ADHD symptoms often get dramatically worse. Studies show that up to 70% of women report a significant worsening of ADHD symptoms during perimenopause, yet almost none of them were told this would happen” #ADHD #AuDHD

This is what every Bsky discourse fight feels like, to me:

NEW: DHS is requesting access to the government’s “most powerful people-finder system,” which contains the name, address, Social Security number, employer, and salary or wages of every employed person in the country — as well as sensitive information on children and domestic violence victims.

In honor of a 78 degree March day, it’s time to re-up my annual favorite tweet

you were pokemon going to panopticon dystopia, whether you realized it or not

Come out to support our NYC Public Libraries before the City Council preliminary budget hearing on March 18 at 9 am at City Hall Park. Details: actionnetwork.org/events/budge...

If you took your kid to the doctor recently for any reason, there's a one in five chance you walked away with an off-label prescription. Nearly half of all pediatric prescriptions are off-label.

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project

I’ve been expecting this. Both because history is fractal and bc I’ve read Eve Sedgwick. Sedgwick teaches us that historically, men’s oppression of women follows a cycle that moves towards and away from homosocial identification. I’m gonna make coffee then I’ll explain what I’m talking about.

NEW: The #Framingham Police Department says it determined that two police officers violated a policy against “criminal conduct”—but the department has provided few details about the allegations and has demanded $525 for the officers’ internal affairs records. #Massachusetts

Real-world implications: Credit Bureaus Are Leaving More Mistakes on Frustrated Consumers’ Reports Under Trump’s CFPB @joeljacobs.bsky.social

“This is what Israel & its American patron cannot tolerate: Palestinians who remember. Palestinians who will not perform gratitude for the small mercies such as aid corridors & fragile ceasefires…We are the living refutation of their narrative. Our very existence, loud & unapologetic, is the crime.”

Nbd it's just "silent" ("14.9 decibels at a distance of one kilometer") drones trained in America's War Test Kitchen on little Palestinian kids and their families

Roberts is instructive to explain fascist revanchism to normies. He looks and talks like a conservative normie, like a “reasonable” everyman. But that is camouflage for a 40+ year career dismantling the modern democratic state.

Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people. This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists. The study underpinning this played one particular trick. Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5

bluesky being immediately negatively polarized into going with skeets because we were asked not to was the first sign that we were going to make it as a posting site every true posting forum declares forever war against the mods

AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?

It's not quite pre-Musk Twitter but there are thriving sports communities on Bluesky. I even made a guide for sportsball enjoyers: badfaithtimes.com/your-guide-t...

Octavia E. Butler said, “These novels are not prophetic. These novels are cautionary tales… The problems that I write about are problems that we can do something about. That's why I write about them.” And “I hope they're not prophecy because I don't want to live in that world.”

Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:

The widely used satellite imagery provider, Planet Labs, has announced there will now be a two week delay on imagery related to the current conflict in Iran to commercial customers.

It can’t be overstated how much the method of interpersonal abuse has been expanded into how the US govt operates. And who in the media does not have the ability to recognize it.

In our latest, Mariame Kaba @prisonculture.bsky.social & Andrea Ritchie @dreanyc123.bsky.social on how to understand the spectacular violence of Trump’s ICE surges as an extension of the violence of everyday policing, and why to abolish ICE we must abolish the police www.patreon.com/posts/152641...

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public. Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkCz...

This is what peak male performance looks like

He can do a perpetual damage control tour for the next 30 years, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s trying to build the panopticon.

it is genuinely very funny how many big name/shop analysts have gone on tv in the last 24-48hr and been like "man we didn't think this administration would be so stupid" like, come on

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
