Good thing we’ve decimated the humanities and don’t teach critical thinking anymore. Nobody could have seen this coming. </s> (From the WSJ, 2025-12-05) #ai #highereducation #humanities #education #criticalthinking #wsj #economy #usa #layoffs #aibubbke.

Finally someone says what we all know: that our poisoned planet (totally our fault) is making us sick. We have the power to change it, but we don’t. The sickness is in our spirit as well—why aren’t we at least trying to heal the planet? #environment #green #healtheearth #omggopwtf

It can’t hurt!

LOL

I nominate Aerosmith’s “Cryin’” for Most #90s Video Ever. #Tattoos, #babydolldresses, #piercings, #bungeejumping, late-adolescent rage. As much as the song annoys me, it’s a total mood. One that I miss. I was a young adult in the 90s, and I have the scars to prove it. 😜 youtu.be/qfNmyxV2Ncw?...

Good morning 🫡

Very few things irritate me more than middle aged women cackling… and I am a middle aged woman. #petpeeves

news you can use. #RadioFreeAmerica

I’m studying Portuguese on #duolingo and things just got super fashy/neocolonial on the language learning app: Duo the Owl is helping #genz learn how to be egregiously condescending and exploitative to prospective business partners in #Brazil - Is #AI writing the exercises? Or has Duo gone MAGA? (1)

I’m leaving the dark side of the socials soon and it is such a relief. Ciao Fashbook. #socialmediaexodus #facebook #meta #bitemezuck #socialmedia

THREAD: There’s a dire situation in Vietnam, at the largest Agent Orange spill in the country. When Trump and Marco Rubio cancelled foreign aid, froze funding and began dismantling USAID, those who were cleaning up the Bien Hoa air base had to halt work. 1/

Sounds like my cat. #cats #catnip

I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers. Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.

HAPPENING NOW: members of Congress led by @maxwellfrost.bsky.social are attempting to enter the Treasury Building to demand answers re: Musk’s unconstitutional money grab

This is what my late father would have posted if he were still with us. We’ll keep dancing in the dark, Dad. We’ll keep dancing.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Dude. I'm Pissed. youtube.com/shorts/zBYoY...

The Trump administration has required that all communications and social media posts from federal agencies undergo prior approval before being shared. This directive is currently in effect until the end of the month.

My father’s funeral service date has been set. All are welcome to celebrate his life, his ministry, and his impact on LGBTQIA clergy throughout the country.

Back in RNO and still mourning. Art witchery to the rescue. Asking for healing, asking for guidance. My pastor-Dad would have been alternately delighted/horrified by my choice of the Crooked Path as opposed to The Way. He and I will work it out, in spirit. Love you, Dad 💔🥲

My heart is broken. You did good work, Dad. Now it’s time to rest. I love you always.

Come o heavenly comforter / and spirit of truth / blowing everywhere and filling all things / treasury of blessings and giver of life / come and abide in us / and cleanse us of every impurity / and in your great goodness save us. #eldercare #nowandatthehourofourdeath

Dad gave us a scare last night, which will probably happen more often as we get closer to the end. I’m spending today with my gluebook, pasting in receipts, visitor badges, and parking tickets from the last 5w at Dad’s side. It will be cathartic. #eldercare #artjournal #journaling #genx

Dad talked with me tonight about his future—how he doesn’t have one and doesn’t know what happens after we’re here. He’s definitely not afraid. He has made his peace… I’ll be watching over him tonight, perhaps a little more closely than last week. #eldercare #genx

Dad is in hospice and we’re both poking at our phones. He’s looking at messages from loved ones who are trying to squeeze in a visit. I’m blocking bots on bsky. The miracle of existence. #eldercare #genx #21stcenturyproblems

Dad’s condition has worsened and he’s in the icu now. I’m racing back with my aunt. We’re about 5.5h away. Please keep us in your thoughts. #eldercare #caregiving

💯

Dad tells stories about me sometimes, about how I was precocious and scarily smart when I was a tiny tot. He loves telling those stories. He only has a few. I didn’t grow up with him around. He moved away when I was 5yo. But his stories have filled in gaps in my memory & my heart. #eldercare #family

Dad says tonight that he’s ready to be done with “all of it” and I can respect that. He is failing—can’t pretend it’s not true. I’m hoping that I can summon enough courage to have the hard conversations now. The ones that will—I hope—bring him comfort. That’s all I want for him now. #eldercare

Proud of this! TK have gotten me through some seriously awful years. #thekillers #itsindierockandrollforme

For realz.

Contacting 10+ senior care facilities today—that’s the target—and going on a tour. I’m hoping that one or more of these places will have an immediate opening for D&A. Going to throw some cards and ask the Universe for guidance, and before you scoff, ask yourself: what harm can it do?? #eldercare

Back w/ Dad after 4d at home with cat and spa. He is so frail. So weak. Took 2 bites of Jello & a few sips of water & then I helped him lie down so that he can get rest. He isn’t talking to me much, still, but I’m going to keep trying. There are still some things worth saying—like I love you.

They didn’t burn witches, they burned women #Resist 🔥

Remember that there are ways to protest in addition to being in the streets. Your wallet speaks. Action groups need organizers and infrastructure. Anti-fash orgs need volunteers. Find your voice and use it. #resist #rebel

Add four years at a Montessori school run by lesbian nuns and it’s me.

He thinks that he can wave his hat and back to the 50s, but we’re actually going back to the 1930s… Germany. I will never understand this.

Show my town Reno some hearts. Please sign this #anticensorship petition to help libraries in Washoe County fight the good fight against the fash.

At the spa and grateful for it. Catching a few days for self-care while my husband looks after Dad. Hanging with my cat, sleeping a lot, catching up on journaling and art, watching a lot of road videos on YT. Stress-B-Gone. #eldercare #selfcare #genx #whatadragitisgettingold #gratitude #family

Trying to find comfort at my Dad’s house looks like: #eldercare #family #peanuts #acharliebrownchristmas #selfsoothing

New in PN: "If your platform is that women have no right to bodily autonomy, and the head of your party has been held liable for sexual assault, on what grounds can you reject nominees who are accused of misconduct themselves?"
