I was just talking with someone about all the silent damage that has been done beyond the headlines, and the years it will take to right this. Public sector-academic partnership removes dominant profit bias found in the total privatization of R&D

CBS, get Abiquiu out of your mouth. Last thing this land needs is a bunch of neocons

Merry Christmas! Best news I've heard all year

What used to be all contained within iTunes, now to sync a MP3 purchase (or iTunes purchase) into my phone, I have to download the new Devices and Apple Music apps to my laptop, add the track to my playlist via iTunes, then sync to Music, then sync to my phone via Devices Apple can suck eggs.

When you are between two plants, pick one, swear you can hear the one left behind crying, then go back to the store an hour later to buy the second one out of guilt

Christmas night: "But Santa, you've hardly touched your Zardoz cookies."

Let’s make 2025 even shittier

Estate sale score. I wish I could have met who lived in that house, bet she was a cool, cool lady

This is great news for the most beautiful and spiritual place on earth. All of Abiquiu is sacred—hopeful it forever avoids the scenic and environmental devastation of the Black Place/Lybrook area

Bought my Dad this great advent calendar. Different bird each day and pressing the inside of each window is a recording of the bird’s song

This is so lovely, frost-on-the-windowpane serenade

Read the room, Corinth Hen House! Now is not the time! They took away my joy, replacing the Jelly Belly dispenser with a kombucha and cold brew “Apothecary”

Senate Republicans are trying to pass a back door national abortion ban tied to #healthcare subsidies! “The #Senate must stop playing politics with women’s lives.” - National NOW President, Kim Villanueva now.org/media-center...

I think I'm going to commission Danial Ryan to create my new LinkedIn header

The airlines’ legal argument that a seat labeled ‘window seat’ doesn’t guarantee a window. The wall view is my hell

The fuck is conservative feminism

Every Admin decision is driven by a great corporate lobbyist. In this case, AI traffic control

Proud of my former NoVA community who got out the vote today 💙

Small wins locally but adds to tonight’s mandate

Hello welcome to bluesky. We have every kind of anti-government radical left of center, and also, baseball

Fuuuuuuuck

Blue Jays and Dodgers picked a weird time to perform their ode to the Kansas City Royals situational hitting ineptitude

Did the LA organist just play The Neverending Story? Finish this game

Sunday Feeling

While the suburbs don’t lack for deciduous trees, making for a lovely fall walk, I always miss urban falls—tree lined streets, cozy coffee spots, bookstores, and bodegas with rain-kissed fruit stands, lining the sidewalks

Yet another thing to add to our collective anger and frustration. No justice. I hope once we’re thru the darkness, federal asylum qualifications gets an update

A forgotten throwback to my goth youth

TCM is playing Leave Her to Heaven tonight. I love movies about women who are cold and someone else under their facade. But mostly I’m obsessed with the Taos house set

One of the best. Grab it at non-Discogs prices

My temporary roommate is trying to apologize for keeping me away from all the horror season’s going-ons. Via sad eyes

Plotting doom from my lair this October

Let’s go, Jays….do it for America

Personal lifestyle goals 🎃

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

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
