So I shared this thread on the 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 & I'll share again because I think it is important for folks to know what it is the Trump admin has to undo to undo our US citizenship in order to set a precedent for challenging birthright citizenship.

Jamal is such a cool person and it just sucks that his life was utterly upended by the genocide in Gaza. he has big dreams and a kind heart

Teenage Dirtbag

Amy Winehouse's voice feels like running my fingers the wrong way over velvet fabric. Sarah Vaughn's voice feels like the most perfect coffee you could ever drink

they should invent modal labia instead of just major and minor

good thread for us urbanists. not everyone who loves their rural life is a NYT diner caricature and abandoning them or cutting off public investment in rural places isn't the answer

these beautiful babies need to eat. they need to stay warm. please help if you can

In praise of all the whistle blowers.

whole bunch o reasons to appreciate Sage

support for Palestinian posters and their fundraisers seems to have dried up. people i interacted with every day are gone. my heart hurts if you have some extra dollars, even just a few, you can keep families with kids warm, dry, and fed during winter in Gaza. please don't turn away!

The story for this moment: How ICE violence against women is increasingly visible — and largely untracked, by @candicenorwood.bsky.social It's hard to watch what's happening. It's harder to be the one to record it. Candice does this while showing us what this violence means about us as a country

i would like everyone who cares about basic rights and dignity for #adopted people to give @anxiousrage.blacksky.app a round of applause for this fantastic real-time reportage 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ongoing disclaimer: I'm feeling just as anxious, angry & horrified as *anyone with a basic sense of empathy & compassion* right now. My coping mechanism is sharing weird little guys & science threads with you. If it feels like I'm not reflecting the tone of this moment, that's a purposeful choice.
