Hi glacier! I’ve never been to Alaska before and I’m in love.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

Boosting for awareness!

Ok - so I'm going to do a real context+write up but for now, here's what some of these things look like. To start my data reference is DCinbox which is ~208,000 official e-newsletters over the past 15 years.

I blame the patriarchy aloud whenever I wear pants without pockets. However, my electeds can do no such thing. Anyway, WTH? Also, who’s third way?

The Michigan governor really likes me, I guess! She probably should sue these groups for using her likeness. Two different numbers, two different links and CTAs. When will the Dems cut ties with these groups?

NEW: In March, the Trump administration announced a massive purge of workers at the nation's health agencies. We asked them how many workers were laid off, pushed out or left. They refused to give us numbers. So we conducted our own analysis... 🧵 projects.propublica.org/federal-heal...

So hey. I'm reading through some of the public comments, and there aren't that many, tbh.. And some of them are in *support* of repealing regulations/making everyone choke on their big-truck air. Your voice *definitely* matters here.

Rainbow over new housing!

Oh no! Crying at work! 😍😭🥹

yeah ok yup nvm this is gonna suck (it’s not just the national guard at all)

I just finished this series after starting it a few years ago (how was that two years ago??) and the current moment is the best time to have read book 3. Gives hope amidst horror, despite of and because systems always work the way they were founded and designed - until they’re stopped & rebuilt.

My Q&A w @lesbrains.bsky.social: “I once subscribed to girlboss culture, but I now think it’s dangerous. Misogynists want to elevate a small number of women to perpetuate systems that keep abusers in power. That is exactly what the women around Cuomo were doing…” flaminghydra.com/scaring-all-...

Damn, just… unmute and listen to this. Excellent. (Also one for my Catholics out here)

I posted these back in May, but here they are for all the new people. #murderbot

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

So cute.

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

I realized this morning that seeing people in black baseball caps are jump-scares for me now. My brain just flashes Cop or ICE.

Please enjoy this ridiculously cute butterfly, which was about the size of my pinkie fingernail. It's in the butterfly family called metalmarks (Riodinidae). Males, like these, have reduced front legs and perch using only the rear 4 (females can use all 6). Sarota acantus; Costa Rica 🐙🌿 #insects

Knowing this was coming was still not preparation for it coming. Call. Write. Advocate. There is a *tiny* window of opportunity to stop this closure. #libraries #museums #IMLS

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

I've written lots of emails to Alexandria officials to urge them to oppose the schools' planned censorship of our high school's student newspaper. Everyone except Superintendent Melanie Kay-Wyatt has responded, including the mayor. Kay-Wyatt didn't respond to ALXnow, either.

Before we hate on the Met Gala again, it is a CHARITY fund raiser to keep the Costume Institute open. In case you don't know, textiles take a lot of work, care, and money to preserve and study for future generations. That is where the money goes-- to textile study and conservation, not celebs.

Sometimes you have to relax and let your tail down.

Hey all, I know you're tired of 100 Days posts, but do you want to read a ludicrously long post on how DOGE and all have attacked various oversight entities within the executive branch? You do? Well...I guess these last few months have turned us all a little strange jacobharr.is/personal/ass...

Has anyone seen the Snake/red hat posters on Commonwealth @ Mt Vernon and Hume?
