“Before the days of Froot Loops and Lunchables, generations of American children learned to relish foods of all textures, flavors and colors, while obesity and eating disorders were both rare.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/15/o...

...why am I enjoying "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" even though it's so problematic?

we can remember that the Trump war is illegal and evil while also remembering that the Iranian regime is evil.

Don’t forget the kindergarten teacher who was turning in a kinder kid and family for speaking Spanish.

that fake report to ICE helpline the comedian set up to see had basically only 3 kinds of caller- people angry at a neighbour for being happier/wealthier than them, people trying to punish someone at their workplace and (mostly but not exclusively) dudes who are trying for revenge on an ex

I want to know if this is also okay for the Iranian diaspora rooting for the US-Israel bombing of Iran.

AI = manosphere = Epstein island = how many more examples

1000% what happened AND despite this young people CONTINUE TO PROTEST AND TAKE ACTION. That's the thing that I find so damned disingenuous among some of these people.

For weeks now, I've shared information about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS protesting ICE REGULARLY. So much so that whole states like Kansas and Texas are rolling out LAWS to sanction schools and laws to criminalize TEENAGERS. Please let's be serious.

Also, from the reading, I just found my new favorite term-- "complementary schismogenesis."

Deaf interpreter training is going well. Just took a vocabulary quiz and scored perfectly (15 out of 15) in 3 minutes. I just need to work on my practical skills. In class last week, we were tasked to interpret a sentence in various linguistic registers & omg I got so shy I giggled the entire time.

May you receive everything you've ever wished for... this year. youtu.be/hsd7xPEy5n4?...

Thinking how best to take advantage of my 5% Andalusian Spanish ancestry for my family's safety.

So I'm not so pissed off all the time, I've fallen into this great habit of watching manifestation videos on YouTube that, if nothing else, put me on a higher frequency/vibration and ease my mood. Just watched this one: youtu.be/yvQ35CJ7M_4?...

Doing taxes makes me so angry now that I'm thinking where our tax $$$ are going.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

Not sure where this sudden influx of new followers came from but welcome, welcome. Let me know if you want to be mutuals. I don't always post, though, and when I do, it's mostly about academics and politics and things pertaining to my hobbies (music and tarot).

I'm in training to become a Deaf Interpreter. Been thinking how best to support folks I've had the privilege of engaging with in my research. This training will help me write that paper I've been wanting to write for the longest time-- strategies for supporting immigrant deaf students of color.

I tend to receive my tarot readings on YouTube. If you’re in need of claiming energy that will immensely help you in March, go to this link: youtu.be/ua3z6X5QaWE?... Relax and receive.

States could do the necessary calculations and withhold a portion of the tax being sent to the federal government, then reimburse the people for the tariffs. There is no reason to pay corporations tariff refunds.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

This is the photo that I can’t get past.

The average public school in the U.S. has 500 students. ICE is currently detaining over 7 schools' worth of children, many of whom are being held in inhumane conditions. Children do not belong in government detention.

Me: The people in the government are not doing their job. They're spending money on things like wars instead of schools. But Omma and I will do our best to keep you and your brother safe. 7yo: But what if ICE gets you? Me: ...

Today's the start of a new semester for a lot of us - if you have job security and live in a reasonably safe state (not everyone, obviously, but if it's you), put the fascism that we're living under on your syllabus. It is hugely important to offer your students this education, no matter your field.

Rolling my eyes at deaf influencers using the ICE attacks as an opportunity to boost their clout by advertising themselves as advocates for deaf communities without mentioning race, like the point is willfully being missed…

ICE is leaving Vietnam-style death cards in the wake of their kidnappings because they are the saddest, most embarrassing military wannabes to ever live coloradosun.com/2026/01/23/a...

Thinking about how bsky has the most horrible setting turned on by default that says "i don't want to see any other languages except English" and if no one tells you to put it on "no selection" you straight up won't see posts from people set to different languages on your TL.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

This is fascism

ICE is now bragging about money they stole from Somalis

Staying at a hotel at the same time a furry convention is being held makes for interesting times. So fun encountering a barefooted fox in the elevator at 8am. Kiddos are marveling at the sights of stripe tailed folks at the breakfast bar.

It really is that plain and simple so why isn't every single Dem, from leadership on down, banging this drum?

The sheer level of injustice, violence, and death caused by the hands of ICE cannot wait for the voting booth 10 months away Please stop telling those suffering in fear and terror to just wait till November You are a leader now, do something besides tell those terrorized to wait

I hope in the future when we wrest back the govt from the current regime, we put up some guardrails to stop politicians from just defunding vital govt programs with no rhyme or reason

Fun fact about me: I was utterly *obsessed* with the movie Amelie and designed my bedroom looking like it could be hers.

NEW: Top DOJ officials quit after their division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shooting - At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

Kristi Noem must be impeached. Tell Congress we’ve had ENOUGH of her garbage!

I clearly remember how fast they impeached Clinton. Forgive the naivety but for Drumpf, when??

They are levying war on the American people, and we have the article of impeachment to back it up. citizensimpeachment.com/article-of-i...

People really do not understand how out of control Minneapolis is right now. I spent almost 8 hours today on the street in different parts of the city and saw everything from tear gas and pepper balls being used to fully marked ice vehicles roaming and pointing out people to camera crews onboard.

Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

The epitome of a “Kavanaugh Stop.” “[CBP] sometimes makes brief investigative stops to check immigration status…. If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a US citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go.” History will remember Brett.

ICE is now ramming civilian cars through red lights in Minnesota. — they are tax payer agitators ‼️

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.
