Look…I know the people of Bluesky are aware, but how do we get the message to the Muskmelons? Just because someone has a LOT of money—like, billions of dollars—that does not mean that person is smart or kind or worthy of adulation. Bezos is terrible. Musk is terrible. Trump is terrible.

I haven’t lived in LA for years (go Bruins!), but I’m happy that stupid Spencer Pratt has not advanced to the general election as a mayoral candidate. Please enjoy this brief video of a gorgeous bluebird.

I reread “The Second Coming” by Yeats every so often. Seems especially insightful now: Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere 1/4

Why? Why are people (mostly men) like this about AI and billionaires? This take is so misguided that I shouldn’t have even bothered commenting. Also, someone spouting off on Joe Rogan is not the alpha move many men seem to think it is.

Regarding the weaponization slush fund: I think all women should apply for compensation because the law has been weaponized against our bodily autonomy. I’m post-menopausal and my fertility was compromised by cancer treatments, but I still feel menaced by the current regime. Who’s with me?

Sadly, my Kauai vacation has drawn to a close. On the plane, about to take off for California. This trip was a much-needed reset!

Share your Nextdoor horror stories! My account got suspended because I confronted bullies. To experiment, I opened a newcaccount with a pseudonym. It worked until I responded to people who claimed that “illegals” were ruining California and voting fraudulently. Critical thinking skills are crucial.

People with critical thinking skills have long known that Trump cares about no one but himself. Welcome to everyone else who’s catching on now that he’s made it clear on the record.

A vacation on the Garden Isle wouldn’t be complete without at least one rainbow sighting.

I am vacationing in Kauai this week, trying to find some serenity. Please enjoy this photo for a timeline cleanse.

If one side is shredding the rule book, the other side should NOT keep playing by the rules. Wake up, Dems! Time to grow a spine. Much respect to Michelle Obama, but the time for “when they go low, we go high” is over. It’s not working. Fight back, by whatever means necessary.

Yes, hello, hi, if you have finished reading #Yesteryear, Caro Claire Burke’s astonishing debut novel, can you please let me know ASAP? I need to discuss it with someone right away! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Where are my fellow eldest daughters caring for parents with #Alzheimer’s? Planned a final trip to Greece for my 80-year-old father to visit relatives and make a pilgrimage to his childhood village. Got him all packed last weekend. Tell me why my youngest brother dropped him off today with…(1/2)

Yes, Nextdoor is an uncool platform, but when I moved back to where I grew up, I thought it will be a good way of finding out about local events. And it was! But I have also been subjected to relentless cyber bullying and MY account then gets suspended. DM me your horror stories for an article.

Hey, Congress, these hearings with RFK Jr. are great and all, but when do we get to the part where you impeach and remove the war criminal and pedophile who’s currently occupying the White House?

Great podcast transcript on how all of us lowly salary earners are the real suckers who have to pay taxes, while billionaires pay literally nothing. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/o...

This headline reads like something out of The Onion. A real Catholic would never. The pope should excommunicate JD Vance! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/u...

Serious question from a (nominally) Orthodox Christian: Can the Pope excommunicate JD Vance? Not SHOULD he, which is a whole separate question, and from what I’ve seen, Pope Leo values mercy over vengeance. But DOES he have the power to excommunicate Catholic-when-convenient Vance?

FFS, isn’t life already hard enough? In addition to USA’s decline, both of my parents now have Alzheimer’s. My mom, 75, has had it for 5 years. My dad, almost 80, was diagnosed 2 months ago. And I’m now dealing with late complications from all the radiation I got for cancer treatment 25 years ago.

Ummm, how do I get back to the multiverse? Because while my personal life is thriving (hey babe, hey friends, hey lush garden), I legit HATE this fucked up warmongering timeline.

I am grateful that it’s #TACO Tuesday. I’m making tacos for dinner. Might have a margarita. Doesn’t change the fact that Trump is willing to commit WAR CRIMES because of his illegal attack on Iran. Release the #EpsteinFiles, remove this dangerous, doddering man from office, and lock him up!

If Congress refuses to impeach, remove, and convict, then The Hague should step up.

My 11-year-old nephew is spending the weekend with us, so I didn’t think we’d go to a No Kings protest. But we took the ferry into the city to see the KAWS exhibit at SFMOMA, and there were hundreds of protesters aboard. And when we were walking to lunch, he saw the march and wanted to get closer.

Need a little cleanse for your feed? Please enjoy this video of a pair of house finches at my feeder! #birds

At this point, I’m just going to assume that any politician who won’t act to rein in Trump is ALSO a pedophile.

Look, sometimes you just need a tiny, squishy light-up dinosaur and a mini polka-dot plant to make you smile.

Hey #UXContentDesignOps community! My skip-level lead is hiring for 2 content design roles at Google. Happy to answer questions via DM. www.google.com/about/career... (1/2)

Ecuador?!? Now the US is engaging in military action in Ecuador, per breaking news from the NYTimes?!? Impeach, remove, convict. Now!

It’s almost as if Trump is still so pissed about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize (and so worried about evidence coming to light that he’s a child rapist) that he’s decided to throw a massive tantrum in the form of starting WWIII. Release the #EpsteinFiles Stop the illegal war

Impeach, remove, and convict. Pretty much applicable to the whole Trump regime at this point.

Put a little birdhouse in your soul.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some Zen to the feed.

Have you attended a workshop by @daviddylanthomas.bsky.social? Read his book? If not, take action immediately! I could only attend the first half of “No, Seriously, F*ck Engagement: Building a More Human Web.” So good! Can’t wait to get the recording and finish watching. Absolutely worth the $20.

I’m so excited to speak at #GrowingInContent2026! After being laid off, I went through a cycle of shock, self-doubt, and a slow rebuild. And I came out the other side with a senior role at Google. I’ll share a practical and emotional playbook for surviving a layoff and coming back stronger. #ux

If you’re upset by my position that people should vote for whoever wins the Democratic nomination in the general election, I don’t care. If you think that means I’m a Newsom supporter, work on your critical thinking skills. I want a diverse slate of primary candidates. I don’t want another (1/2)

I want to be like Alysa Liu. I’ll never be an Olympic gold medalist figure skater, but I will live on my own terms. Alysa came back and won gold after deciding that she would decide how to train, what music to use, what to eat, and how to dress. Authenticity, joy, and excellence. I choose that.

Reading multiple articles about how young men are red-pilled Nick Fuentes acolytes got me thinking… Maybe we should bring back etiquette classes and cotillion. Not in an elitist way, but just as a way to teach men how to behave around others and not be absolutely entitled dicks.

30 day books-by-women challenge! Choose 30 books, 1 per day, no particular order, that you’ve read that were written by women. 2/20: Case Histories, Kate Atkinson I love the entire Jackson Brodie series, and I highly recommend that you read them in order. #booksky

One of the saddest posts I’ve seen on LinkedIn. I hope it was overly dramatic to get attention. I’ll keep going to parties and prioritizing human connections over AI agents. And if I leave early, it’s because I’m having a bad time and would rather be with other people or home reading a book.

Oh, I am so behind on my 30 day books-by-women challenge! #booksky 2/12: Theatre Shoes, Nöel Streatfeild 2/13: The Story Girl, LM Montgomery 2/14: The Academy, Elin Hilderbrand & Shelby Cunningham 2/15: A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking, T. Kingfisher 2/16: Betsy-Tacy, Maud Hart Lovelace (1/2)

Hey, if the UK can arrest a former prince, surely we can arrest a sitting president. Sex predators and rapists must be held accountable for their crimes. #EpsteinFiles

What I believe: We need more funding for public education—an educated populace is essential to democracy Healthcare is a fundamental human right and should not be run as a for-profit business #MedicareForAll No citizen should have to show ID to vote Vaccines work #ICE must be abolished 1/2

30 day books-by-women challenge! Choose 30 books, 1 per day, no particular order, that you’ve read that were written by women. 2/10: Fingersmith, Sarah Waters 2/11: Rebecca, Daphne Du Maurier They share a certain Gothic quality, but the lesbian theme is overt in the 1st, subjective in the 2nd

Proof that life can still be beautiful. Thanks for breakfast, #Google!

Your Republican party. More upset about (checks notes)….dancing and Spanish lyrics at the Super Bowl halftime show than about child rape. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles ew.com/house-republ...

So many people who complain about #AI are actually just railing against chatbots like Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT. There’s a real danger in conflating AI with #chatbots. Chatbots can be problematic. AI can be hugely useful. More on this topic: www.linkedin.com/posts/alexak...

I much prefer Bad Bunny’s form of patriotism and his vision of America to Trump’s. And obviously, Puerto Ricans ARE American citizens. Signed, the proud eldest daughter of an immigrant who came here from Greece at age 12 and achieved the American Dream through perseverance and higher education.

I have insomnia. I wake up unbidden at 5:00 AM in California most mornings. I’m still getting roughly 7 hours of sleep, but I want more sleep! Yes, I do all the sleep hygiene things. Mostly. But now I’m having lots of creative thoughts, which is great! I’m starting a new brand called… (1/2)

If any member of the Trump administration, Congress, or the judiciary is STILL afraid of this vile mockery of a man that stupid people elected, then I must assume that they are named in the Epstein files or have lust for power that outweighs any shred of morality.
