When I worked at the Women’s/LGBT Center, my office was here and I always wondered about the history of these walls. So glad for its restoration

I’ve always defended my home state when folks would lump us with Missouri. Please don’t let me regret that

With Robert Redford’s passing, I encourage watching Three Days of the Condor, Jeremiah Johnson and All the President’s Men. He deserves recognition for his reinvestment into film thru Sundance, his environmental work, and for being a role model for men as a feminist

I fucking hate living here

Privilege

One on the Easel by Robert Dash, 1976 American, 1937-2013 Acrylic on paper

I hope all of us find this type of joy in our lifetime “When you do something you love and are drawn to it, you want to do it all the time”

I don’t usually share memes but I think this was made for me, personally

This is a hit to the NPG’s visitors and the Smithsonian as a place for free expression, but a necessary one

As an introvert, I want to dispel the small talk hate. Yes, I dread a room full of people that’s nothing but, but IMO humans need small talk to massage friendships. All deep, all the time is just as exhausting

I know everyone is in a pessimistic mood rn, but this is the sweetest bit of click bait. I could never find a partner that was in to this type of approach so I stopped dating years ago, but I think it’s good advice for all you lovers out there

I wasn’t aware of the Earth Room, so fascinating. Read David’s own article in the comments, great writing

My local theatre recently had a run of The Virgin Suicides. I forgot how much I enjoyed Air’s soundtrack

This guy from the Nerds candy box was my childhood imaginary friend. His name was Nerdy, and his daily trials and various outfits were heavily featured in all my drawings at the time

My friend has been very prolific the past week, a flurry of expression. Home-spun and intimate vibe with this piano piece

The Second Wave gets some flack from some of my co-feminists. But these women changed my life. Thankful for this mainstream exposure for Ms.

My 82YO Dad asked me how to find and buy music now (the last thing he bought was probably a tape in the early 90s). My brain glitched just thinking about how to answer

Private equity firms couldn't even keep Hooters open because their entire purpose is to destroy companies in order to make as much money as possible but sure, this will probably be fine.

Today, my friend released a lovely collection of his work. A nice, calming reprieve

Since all anyone in my town cares about is sportz and food, maybe this can serve as a wake up call. We’re next…along with all your tacos

Rhubarb season is upon us. Rhubarb fresh-picked from my Freedom Garden plus local strawberries

You need this in your life right now. Trust me

Fear can’t stifle American innovation and future health care. Please share this across the research community

These are all true behaviors but mainly I run into problems with conversations and keeping friendships warm long-term. I think I'm smothering folks/they're bored by me so I go silent, but then I get feedback that friends feel ghosted by me. Which is it?

Pro Tip for Greg and crew: top with almond butter and nanas

Oh to live in LA! For those like me stuck in an ambient music desert https://colepulice.bandcamp.com/album/lands-end-eternal

Join us! RSVP for the listening party for Golden Brown's new LP, Whisker Fatigue. Come hear the album in its entirety and bring some questions/praise for Mr Golden Brown because he will be there listening right there with us. It will be a hoot, promise! eiderdownrecords.bandcamp.com/merch/whiske...

This makes me a happy camper. Angela is a queen

I consume a lot of content for my profession, so Pocket was a lifesaver for keeping track of content across platforms. I'm peeved to see it go--and appreciate that Mozilla is basically calling me old

No. 4, The Introvert Entrepreneur, will be a must read. The need to start my own thing has come sooner than I had planned, but how to get clients when one is so burned out on interacting with people?

Should be a good listen at 2pm CDT

Today I discovered there is a term specific for Scottish crime fiction….tartan noir Never too old to learn new things.

Had an old friend of mine die unexpectedly yesterday. His is the first death in my peer group—it’s sad but also selfishly self-motivatvating

Serendipitous space beauty to start your weekend. NASA's new PUNCH mission, designed to study the solar wind, just took this ethereal image of the Moon passing the (blocked out) Sun. The Moon's night side is facing us, but it's beautifully lit by Earthshine. 🧪🔭 science.nasa.gov/blogs/punch/...

Good stuff on the netwaves right NOW

And with new pre-enrollment verification and documentation reqs, DOGE cuts to CMS will cause paperwork processing delays, with people unable to access PTCs while they wait. Plus the Trump admin 90% funding cut to Navigators means people can't get the support they need to wade through the red tape.

This is always a great time

After 20 years of service, the Highlander is retiring. To DC and back again, lots of off roads and urban streets and the roomiest backend, the cost of repairs just outweighed the need for something reliable. Happy trails, Car-Car! 😢

Perfect night to lay outside and tune in 💫

I'm always worried Joan is going to get lost to time. A voice that immediately transports me to where I need to be

I’m EXHAUSTED but the garden is in the ground. My yarrow went alpha during the offseason

Something very strange in the works today…

These folks (movies and music fans are equal offenders) are why I avoid people

Glad to see the attack on federal health services covered so heavily tonight by mainstream outlets. Thanks to 60 Minutes and John Oliver, more you will understand what I’ve been screaming about for months

Proof point transit sucks in the Plains states. I would so hop on a high-speed rail ride across Kansas to catch this

All-Female hour of Power! Crayons to Perfume Thurs 7pm et, classic & unexpected girl group sounds! On WFMU RocknSoul Radio @wfmu.bsky.social @wfmurocknsoulradio.bsky.social

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

I agree that HHS’ deidentified data network could use work, but neutrality is core to reserach and discovery. Government provides this as a centralized reserach partner to the private sector. The inherent data bias driven by the desire to profit runs risk of invalidating any future studies
