This is my problem with JJ Abrams.

Currently, it would allow me to take the mental health leave I need without having to worry about my ability to stay employed and therefore continue to be insured.

Do not attempt to trap a cranberry goblin under any circumstances. They'll think you're playing a game and then they'll trap your soul in a mason jar for a hundred years to keep the game going.

I read Spider Robinson’s Callahan’s Place series at an impressionable age and it really shaped my view of what community can and should be.

TFW u open BlueSky and a bunch of ppl are vaguely posting about the same shit

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Get your colleagues in line. You were right to hold firm on the shutdown, and caving now with no ACA protections besides a useless show vote is not only cruel, it’s strategically idiotic. If you don’t stop this, it’s on the whole caucus.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

If you're in the Bay and feeling paralyzed in the face of the oncoming ICE raids, here's a link to a stellar mobilization webinar that ran yesterday. It's incredibly grounding, practical & tactical, and will give you the guidance and resources to do what you can, where you can.

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

Massive crowd at Ocean Beach in San Francisco for the human banner. Gotta be something like 5000 people. 📸 www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco...

No government propaganda in my shitpost machine, please.

Prepping a big box of zines and other goodies to hand out tomorrow. Ft. @meganpiont.bsky.social’s excellent work as well as my hand printed patches and stickers. Hoping to have it packed full by the end of the night!

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

Stop dooming! badfaithtimes.com/the-doomers-...

I called my congressman and senators. It took like 10 minutes. Everybody should be doing this, today.

ok time to reset the timeline 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 BIG BOAT STUCK 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

Doomerism and despair got me this afternoon. This was a helpful thread.

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?

Making copies of @meganpiont.bsky.social’s excellent “How to Report ICE” zine to share. I also made a one-sheet that slips inside with phone numbers for all the Bay Area rapid response lines, and a modified red card on the other side. Link below, in case these are useful to anyone else.

on the one hand I should absolutely put my phone down but on the other hand what if the forces attacking democracy operate on weeping angels logic

Holy shit.

They made the Borg into the Gorn and the Gorn into the Borg.

Something weird has been going on with my ankle lately, so I’ve been using my cane, which I have spiked using @mousefists.bsky.social’s excellent tutorial. It’s so nice to have a mobility aid that looks cool, makes it a little less of a bummer to have to use it.

The rising tide of fascism has really made me realize the extent to which I’ve always been just a bunch of coping mechanisms in a trench coat. And now the fascism keeps trying to take away the trench coat.

So yes, Testosterone is a performance enhancing drug. But so is Estrogen. It depends on the aspect of human performance that we're talking about. The idea that Testosterone is all around better for all sports comes from the biased idea that cis women can't beat cis men at sports. But they can.

Crochet, cider, and Leverage. A good night.

I think I’d be a pretty great librarian.

Happy 15th anniversary of the peak achievement of literary criticism, to all who celebrate

Speaking of not working, Mike Johnson just shut down the House for 2 months to block the release of names of pedophiles, but taxpayers are still paying his salary ($224K/yr), 73% of all his & his family’s healthcare expenses, $79/day food stipend, & up to $34K per yr for things like travel & housing

This is genuinely more or less how I run games. (The dice thing is new and I’m definitely stealing it.)

I love a layman-accessible deep dive into a subject I know nothing about, and this is a good one.

Starting my long weekend watching C-Span in the bath. This is normal, right?

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because that was just a distraction Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because that was just a distraction Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because that was just a distraction

Easy answer. Star Trek.

Attend a No Kings Protest yesterday? Thank you for showing up! An estimated 4-6 million people protested across the country. Wouldn't it be amazing if all of us picked one issue and used @5calls.org to contact our reps today and tomorrow? Let's do it.

This is journalistic malpractice. I can think of at least 7 protests not included on this map, easily confirmed just because I know humans that went to them. There are dozens more in the thread. “Paper of record” my ass.

“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco

On his first Father’s Day, Mahmoud Khalil will sit in a detention center 1,500 miles away from his wife and newborn son, as punishment for speaking out in support of Palestinian rights.

I accidentally stole Diana Muldaur’s flip flops at a hotel pool because I thought they were my mom’s. She was very nice about it.

Note the subject-object choice. Who does what? The PROTESTS make people mad about Police Thingy. It’s the protests’ fault. That’s why people are mad. It works on everyone’s subconscious level, I bet, even if you pay attention / have the analysis to see it consciously. Pay attention.

I don’t know who Glenn Greenwald is and I guess I never will because there’s no way I’m googling him now.
