What felt like a small accomplishment at the time feels bigger today as I reflect on 2025. I finally had enough space and plans to stay long enough to move my Grammie's and PopPop's 1970s Conn Theatrette electric organ out of storage. Happy New Year, friends. 💜🕯️✨

remember when I tried to get an HPV shot and my OBGYN told me no because “that’s a shot for hoes!” turns out you can just go to the grocery store and get one at the pharmacy HPV vaccines are approved for women up to age 45 in the USA & significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer!

My comforter is ~10yo and looked SO SAD when I took it out of its cover that I literally ordered an inexpensive replacement on the spot. I washed the old one anyway, and when I took it out of the dryer it was SoFluffyImGoingToDie.gif so I dunno maybe take this as a sign to wash your bedding?

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

When I've talked to deepfake victims, both public figures and everyday people, I've heard horror stories about police laughing them out the door, girls getting expelled for reporting their classmates, and lawyers advising them that suing would just make it worse. This is abuse culture in action.

So the ENTIRE apology thing comes down to deflecting responsibility from the actual human who chose to create sexualized images of children. And we do this A LOT with LLMs. "AI is racist!" No. The choice to create or use software that says racist things is racist. The software has no beliefs

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.
