Sure, stare fixedly into the corner of the ceiling

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social sweet dreams!!

"Institutional failure breeds mistrust. Mistrust breeds misinformation. Misinformation breeds panic. And panic, unchecked, always lands hardest on the people already carrying the most." I'd been wondering why I hadn't seen more discussion of the 1993 hantavirus outbreak in Diné country.

The debate me bros are relentless.

Some of the questions on this paperwork are wild like bro if I knew the answer to that I probably wouldn’t have to file this in the first place also why does it require 12 forms.

IMO most forms of surveillance should be banned and most surveillance technologies should be outlawed. We have conclusively proven that we cannot handle it responsibly.

Californians! The current draft of the 2026-2027 state budget defunds several critical library programs! Please write in to express your support to get funding back: - California Library Services Act: funds Link+, the statewide inter-library loan system. - English as a Second Language Funding

Or, and hear me out, we could not preemptively roll over to fears that the feds won't accept California ID if we don't spend $50+ million handing over our drivers' license data.

Spotted on my walk.

ICYMI! And if you're looking for some advice of your own...submit a question here!

Welching on single-payer healthcare is loser behavior, it's tremendously popular and deeply embarassing that a state that prides itself on progressive leadership can't get it together.

Well dang, this is a cool read about urban forests!

Colonialism really did a number on the Colorado River, and watersheds across the US.

Every time I see a missing stair welcomed back with open arms without addressing, let alone apologizing for, their behavior after going underground long enough for people to forget is always so galling.

BDS works, and I'm glad people are fighting the good fight with the Park Slope Coop.

Someone commented that at least I'll be inheriting some money and I was like one, wtf, that is a wild thing to say and two, my father's last two jobs were 'bartender' and 'adjunct' faculty, what kind of money do you think I am inheriting here.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social what are you doing later

people keep saying i need to watch sheep detectives. do i need to watch sheep detectives? the previews look terrible.

Why wait for retirement tbqh

This 'rescue' hoarding/abuse case in Humboldt is HORRIFIC. I am so sorry for everyone who sent dogs to this man thinking they were doing the right thing and I hope we can find closure. (CN this article contains disturbing/graphic abuse of dogs.)

Once again begging for a non-police option for routine disputes that do not merit an armed response but do require an external intervention

For this week's newsletter, @freeblackgirl.bsky.social writes about how 2016 was a turning point for black women, and 10 years later, how that moment simply was not enough: 

Now that's what I call service journalism!

Hey look it's @katelynburns.com on the myth of the all-powerful trans lobby.

New this week: How do we support friends who are struggling with feeling stuck in long-term grief?

This is a fascinating adventure aboard a celebrity lookalike cruise; I absolutely love these kind of immersive stories into subcultures I had no idea existed.

You absolutely love to see it

My dad spent his whole career in rural healthcare. Everyone deserves care, and the people providing it in the back of beyond are every bit as smart, dedicated, and skilled as those in cities. And probably a hell of a lot better at treating chainsaw wounds.

The rural hospital crisis is killing people and rapidly escalating. The Republican cuts to Medicaid are basically going to be the end of hospital services in the rural US.

LOVE to see a new state adopting no excuse vote by mail congrats CT.

I have made a YouTube video to accompany this feature. In it, I expand on my thoughts about O'Connor and the danger of the US government venue shopping for a court that enables their fascism. youtu.be/QD7l35sXU8M

I should not have asked this question right before going to bed what was I thinking

Okay skincare goblins: they reformulated my moisturizer and it sucks and is greasy and weird now. I am a cheapskate. Help.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social I, well…I don’t know. Here it is.

1. This is huge. Kat Abughazaleh, Andre Martin, Michael Rabbitt, Cat Sharp, Brian Straw, and Jocelyn Walsh fought a fascist prosecution and won 2. This should not be over. We should know everything about what happened and people should lose more than their jobs evanstonnow.com/feds-to-dism...

Okay I think I can up with my next book idea on my walk with E and it is EXTREMELY GOOD and also very much on-brand.

If you aren’t using signal (properly) for any messages you wouldn’t want Ken Paxton to see, stop that nonsense

IDK seems like it would be easier to stop being fascist than to "invent an entire new category of crime" to go after antifascists. Also this is gonna lay great groundwork for future persecution, like "ecoterrorism" in the 1990s.

Sorry y'all but I am going to have to be incessant about this for the next two months because the number one thing I encounter every time I mention it is 'wow I had no idea!'

One million coastal Louisianans are at imminent risk of needing to relocate thanks to sea level rise and climate change.

The expansion of the military industrial complex really sucks for wildlife!

This seems cool and normal and not at all concerning. It definitely doesn't remind me of any other notorious public-private 'partnerships' used to do fascism.

I appreciated the opportunity to talk about supporting people through long-term grief and loss with this week's column! Read, share, subscribe, please, feed my need for approval.

I am so tired of these people. Can we have one fucking thing where AI isn't mining people for their knowledge and experience and then pitching a shitty, hallucinatory, often dangerous 'replacement.'

You might have heard about the legal case involving the DOJ sending subpoenas to blue state hospitals for private medical records of trans children. For my newsletter, I went long on the Texas judge enabling this fuckery. www.burnsnotice.com/this-federal...

Preordered. My mom died five years ago next month, and while I'm okay now, the first eighteen months were absolute hell on heart, head, and body. It'd be great to not go through that particular desert of the soul next time.

Great rundown on immigrants deploying habeus corpus to get released from detention.

Everyone in charge loves to say this is "new." New technology they can't keep up with. Nothing about this is new, except that there's no longer anyone to victim blame. www.404media.co/radnor-high-...

This piece is so good. I am biased because Nicole is a fellow @theflytrapmedia.com worker-owner, but ALSO, she does killer reporting on global feminisms and put a ton of work into this.
