TBH, I am frustrated that the biggest vision we have is taxing ultra high income earners. The sub-500k tech workers (vast majority of us!) are having our lifestyles subsidized by people making 100k or less who pay a much higher share of their income than I do (nowhere near 500k). Tax me too!

I owe you an apology, Amber Glenn. I wasn't really familiar with your Magic: The Gathering Game.

“I’m a Thrilionaire“ I say to myself as navigate my icy steps to take bird seed to my backyard feeder.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. “Looks nice, but how does it sound?”

This is just part of patrol. ICE threatens you, points guns at you, brutalizes or kills someone in front of you. Every day it's somebody new in our circle. We gather around them while they work through the stress and fear and then, to the person, they go back out. My friends are so insanely brave.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "That's illegal."

As someone from the Bay area, this is hysterical.

2026: telling on yourself

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Antler swears

I've asked so many people to please quit substack, and if I see a substack link, I rarely, if ever, click on it. and I know amazing people that I love and respect and learn from are on there and it makes me so sad. in case it helps you to finally quit that place: www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

Here is the upcoming DJ workshop link: accesslovefeb.eventbrite.ca "For February, by embracing bell hooks’ Love Ethic, we will gather to reflect & write in community about how this practice can inspire our efforts for Collective Liberation, as aligned with the vital Disability Justice framework." 🫂

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

*extremely second panel Padme voice* So you're abolishing MI-5 and MI-6, then?

Letting illness run rampant in prisons is just one kind of genocide.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "No, really, I am certain. They do not throw poop."

I think I will be watching the Super Bowl tomorrow for the first time in years. Not because my hometown team, the Seahawks, are playing but for Bad Bunny. More than likely he will not sing the protest track he did with Residente in 2019, but… a lot of the lines do fit for the current U.S. situation.

Last night was sitting on the couch folding zines. The 12yo scooted over to help. A few minutes in, she looks up and goes "I think I need some fliers for school." She's well down the design, and i'm fact checking this afternoon. We have red cards she can share (no whistles because... middle school)

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "It's in the syllabus"

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

"if you have a crotch related problem a drag queen has already solved it" maintains its perfect track record

Just hire all the laid off reporters. Call it the Washington Citizen or something. Doesn’t seem that hard.

The violence against immigrants, protesters and civilian observers in Minneapolis has sparked renewed calls for oversight of the Border Patrol. It is a pattern abuse with a long history in Mexican American communities on the border, icymi from me and Eileen Sullivan. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/u...

Space/ #astrosky friends: have an extra lapel pin from a mission/instrument/observation campaign floating around? Consider sending it to me! (DM me for my address) I plan on using them to decorate my Starbucks apron, in a desperate attempt to maintain my dignity as an underemployed scientist

My bestie @lydamorehouse.bsky.social volunteers here. They're doing a great job feeding neighbors in St. Paul and they need financial support.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Sadly, not aliens."

Rep. Juan Vargas, a Democrat from San Diego, is at the Otay Mesa concentration camp today demanding access to the facility. The ICE detention center is run by the private prison company CoreCivic. www.instagram.com/reels/DUbm5S...

We are at 230 shirts sold so far! This is *only* available today and all proceeds go to rent relief funds for folks in East St Paul, MN who have been impacted by the federal siege in Minnesota: bikinikill.bandcamp.com/merch/limite...

If you haven't gotten to to it yet, happy Black history month, go listen to "Cabin in the Sky" by De La Soul. I will wait.

These are so great! I love a good foldable fancy walking stick... Might need a galaxy cane to keep in my travel bag.

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS: THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

Do you know of any researchers who study eugenics (especially around vaccine stuff)?

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Happy 1500 Freshly Printed Protest Signs Day to all who celebrate. 💙 #AbolishICE

All the other mayors could be doing this if they wanted to

Shame on @nature.com for publishing this ableist trash, and shame on the authors for writing it: Short 🧵>>

BOSTON!!! TONIGHT!!! See me and @berondam.bsky.social in conversation about her amazing book: www.harvard.com/event/berond...

"But what if a kid sees it" there's a global cabal of child rapists running the government who use gmail to send each other CSAM during lunch, Billy seeing a dog mask on the subway should be the least of your concerns.

Wow, this week has been a journey. And by "journey", I mean welcome to Tartarus.

A small love letter to Baltimore: This morning I drove by a giant pile of snow that had a sign stuck in the top that said Yes snow, no ICE. Then I saw a makeshift know your rights/whistles/zines distribution device.

Despite judge’s order, ICE sent an immigrant to Mexico instead of back to Minnesota - The Minnesota Star Tribune

I bought George a little couch so that he can jump up easier 🤣 Note the appreciation

Well, I have to get started with electrolysis hair removal soon. I found a couple that do surgery prep and one that only does facial hair removal... www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-... #update #trans #transrightsarehumanrights #gofundme #electrolysis
