I’m not active much on here but I wanted remind everyone as the horror increases: do not “disappear yourself.” You can moderate your news intake, check out in small spurts, and still stay present. We need our own strength and each other to get through this.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

@allisonkwilliams.bsky.social explores the ways in which "memoir as a category has grown wilder and freer" and "more inclusive of different stories told in different voices." The news, friends, is not so dire for the #memoir as some suggest. brevity.wordpress.com/2024/12/04/i...
