Really think we could stand to drop the utterly credulous headline style of "Billionaire says doorway to Narnia will be open by 2027"

Lets just burn everything to the ground.

Boycott Barnes and Noble. Loudly. Right fucking now. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Im waiting on 3 holds and have been accusing @anniepreneur.bsky.social of stealing a CPL truck for two weeks and it turns out she is exonerated. ;)

It won't be like this forever but it definitely sucks at the moment

A new week of all of the worst people doing all of the worst things.

“I don't understand what it's supposed to do. Every time I see a video on Instagram that's like, 'Hollywood is cooked,' what follows is, like, the most stupid dog shit I've ever seen in my life…”

Stoking and channeling boiling contempt for the ultra-rich is a pretty essential element of what needs to happen if we're gonna get out of this. And folks, they've given us a lot to work with. Don't tone police that shit. When it gets out of control, remind people why that's happening.

you know what the real data center is. the human mind. thank you,

Spending Mother's Day with a small army of (mostly just volunteer) Moms who make our homeschool teens' theater program run. Moms get stuff done. <3

There are people who will never understand why someone would spend an entire evening reading, writing, or thinking quietly by themselves. But some of us have built whole inner worlds there, and abandoning them would feel like abandoning home. #booksky

100% never gonna read a "book" churned out by AI. Only interested in real human brain creativity.

I can‘t figure out why, but I have never seen news stories about how oil rigs hurt whales. Only wind farms do that. And only solar panels have a recycling problem. Gas stations are fine.

"Killing student writing outside the classroom means an enormous reduction in the volume of time spent writing, and learning more generally: it is a loss of thousands of hours of reading, thinking, puzzling over problems, writing, revising."

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

DO ART. READ BOOKS.

Name your top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only The Magnificent 7 The XFiles Kids in the Hall Deadwood Game of Thrones Saved by the Bell Stranger Things Batman (60s) The Golden Girls House MD True Blood Cheers Mystery Science Theater 3000 Top Gear/The Grand Tour Cheers

Fight the Future and Grogu.

What I read in April 2026. Or, absolutely derailed month BUT all three of these were A+ reads. <3

White Christian supremacist court. White Christian supremacist President. White Christian supremacist Congress. And the result is the most profound series of setbacks for the rights of people of color and women in over a century. It is a nauseating time to be alive in America. Fight back harder.

this is america. you could find yourself within 100yds of a shooting at any time, in any place. school, the grocery store, a movie theater, a block party, a public park… it happens to regular people every day. but this week we’ll get 50+ weepy op-eds because it happened to the guys who write op-eds

Gave Teen the day off from #homeschool yesterday bc family is visiting Chicago & wanted to go sightsee downtown. They walked 12 miles, lol! I charged him with taking photos of his adventure. He got some good shots - its a pretty city - & they got Portillos & Italian beef along the way. <3

Happy Earth Day.

This week in our #homeschool we're readying for a family visit and, in honor of Earth Day, starting HOW TO CHANGE EVERYTHING by Naomi Klein.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

IF you enjoy camp and wonderful performances, you should go see RUTHLESS at Citadel Theatre. Bonkers. Perfect. I scream-laughed.

This is very cool.

Everyone is sick of this shit.

They really think no one can build a guillotine anymore.

Spending my birthday stomping around Bridgeport. A. The Chicago Maritime Museum is super cute. <3

Science is good. We should fund it.

Edgebrook has several of these animal statues inspired by their proximity to the forest preserve, and they're super cute.

Abuse is not art. This is hardly the first time bad behavior has been rewarded, and I'm very proud of the Chicago theater companies who are saying enough. <3

GO LEARN TO MAKE SOMETHING REAL.

Scenes from an evening in Andersonville. Devil Dawgs, wandered the Galleria & into Enjoy, and then a lovely event at Women & Children First. <3

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

The world is bananas so we're gonna do some new stuff in our #homeschool right now - bc why not?

Not to mention mall restrictions, closing arcades, and they defunded every bit of teen programming possible at the libraries, closed all the community centers, and refuse to fund after-school and weekend events...

Dude, I love Pittsburgh so much. <3

I wish more of BlueSky could be about horses and cake.

i’ve seen every social network i love die, you cannot scare me

Every bit of my teenage self was an NSYNC girl, & adult me was stoked about the idea of a possible reunion tour...but if Joey Fatone is MAGA?... nope. Done. Bye.

Lets go, Artemis II. 🌕

This week in our #homeschool - rehearsals, Teen is trying to learn ukulele, Braiding Sweetgrass, Algebra, & we're shifting from Biology to Geology to finish off the last 10 weeks of 9th grade. (Crash Course is about to drop a Geology series, lets goooo.)

What I read in March 2026. (Apparently I'm drawn to books about trees right now?) Lovely reads, all. <3 #books

Saw El último sueño de Frida y Diego at @lyricopera.bsky.social - gorgeous, lush staging and killer voices. Gonna be obsessed with Catrina's skeleton dress forEVER. <3

You’d think expensive oil would make our government focus on solar and wind energy, you would of course be wrong

*sense memory of sneakily reading Flowers in the Attic in junior high science class*
