I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Actually, governor, it is totally normal and sane to care about pronouns and trans rights, especially when the Kansas Legislature is pulling some absolutely heinous bullshit to restrict them!!!

Trans rights are human rights and if one of is ain’t free then none of us are.

I recently read her book "My Remarkable Journey: A Memoir" and it was fantastic. She told the story of her life before and after NASA, and her love of education.

Kiddo update: he is comfy

Eggers update: still a baby

We won our tariff case!! Yay!! A 6-3 decision. Much more to come later. Here is the link to the decision: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Hire me to make sure all the figures and supplemental figures in your manuscript actually match what you describe in the text.

Living in the Midwest: I love thunderstorms. The vibes are nice Living on the West Coast: I still love thunderstorms, but they are also terrifying. Please don't light anything on fire.

Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abbreviation just dropped

Good Smile finally released Xiao from jail and the US site wants $90 BEFORE tariffs, are you kidding me.

Slowly cleaning out old notebooks from my work desk and behold, a notebook with most of the pages left!

No idea what I'm doing, other than having fun?

we may require your government ID, legal name, and full address, but we delete that information as soon as we verify your age! (three weeks pass) hey so our servers got hacked and you guys are not gonna believe what happened to your government IDs, legal names, and full addresses that we deleted

The fun part about this is that it does literally nothing to protect teens or kids. None of these steps EVER consider providing people with resourceful tips of danger signs 'disengage' or 'report' etc. Fucking morons. Creeps have been on kid's sites since Neopets in the 90s FUCK OFF WITH THIS SHIT.

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...

Me anxious about bad things happening: okay, brain Me anxious when good things happen: brain why are you like this?

Anyone using and sharing those resistance bird icons need to know that some (or a lot) of them were created with genai. 😬 To people who want to make imagery that says something; stop using genai. Please! It's their tool. It represents theft, false and unauthentic images, lies, harm, and wrongness.

My group chats are full of Minnesotans reacting to today’s murder by figuring out ways they can help. We need people outside of the state to do the same thing. Whatever you wish everyone else was doing right now? Do it today. Let’s make a list of things that could help.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Happy #Caturday y'all. Stay warm ♡

Call your reps and yell at them - I just called and I got halfway through my sentence and the aid was like "they're voting no!" lol find your rep > reps.fyi

Al Gore loudly booing a US Commerce Secretary at a bankers’ forum should be a Futurama joke instead of real life.

Tragic: girl will be in general vicinity of pastry shop but has pastry at home and should thus not buy more pastry.

Today's accomplishments: * failed to get the microscope and computer to talk to each other so I couldn't show off cool glowy stuff * emailed my reps with complaints * ate some yummy curry so now inspired to try cooking lentils again

If you hear that a think tank is telling your members of Congress not to say "abolish ICE," here's what you do: contact your members of Congress and tell them that you, a constituent, absolutely do want them to abolish ICE and you wanna hear them say it. Then get your friends to do it too.

okay reposting w/ alt text because it's that good. Box 1: Jesus is shouting "blocked blocked blocked" to a crowd Box 2: Jesus shouting "you're all blocked. none of you are free from sin." highlight: the people were astonished at his doctrine.

I did pretty damn good at boycotting Target in 2025. This is great motivation to keep it up.

"I'm not in Minnesota -- what can I do to help?" A list of ideas!

I need a new plant. Ideally, one I can keep outside so someone doesn't eat it, but also still cat safe because our neighbor cat likes to come over, and I had to shoo her away from the poinsettia.

We did itttttttt! 🎉 Thank you for helping the kitty out, may you all have a cozy outfit and a tasty snack wherever you are! 🍤

Yay, hat obtained! 🐸 And a bonus scarf! But now his beans are cold, can we get him something to help?

At the end of last year, I listened to the audio book "A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers. I just read it in book form (re-read? Re-experienced?) I was hesitant when I first started listening, but now I am very sure that I just love this story so much.

I essentially took 2 weeks off (with the occasional popping back into work to check a thing or two, feed a critter, etc), and it feels weird to be back.
