Every time someone tries to give me the "she shouldn't have been in that position, wearing that, etc" my response has been that I should be able to walk naked down the street drunk off my ass and be safe. No one has the right to violate my bodily autonomy, regardless of how I choose to use it.

One of the coolest things I've done at work is become a mentor. My current mentee just took a stand for herself in a way she didn't think possible a year ago and I am so proud of her. The vast majority of mentorship is helping reframe situations so they can get their feet going the right direction.

Everyone who has existed in a disenfranchised group knows this is not new. We know this is the most recent escalation of existing practice. We know it's not just ICE. I don't care what opened your eyes or when. Yesterday would have been better than today, but you're here now. Welcome to the fight.

The Epstein files must be worse than we could even imagine.

ICE has been the greatest motivator I've had to workout since the Army. I've done yoga for 20 years to maintain mobility through chronic health issues. But I've returned to boxing training, jumping rope, footwork, form. If I punch a Nazi, I want it to hurt.

The most effective marketing strategy I think I've ever seen:

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

At some point in the future, I am eager for an international court to conduct a full investigation and trial of this era of corruption. Take it out of partisan hands and ask the international community for assistance. Jail time for many people, don't care what party.

40 days until pitchers and catchers report!

My MIL is doing the saintly duty of hosting and kindly put together some delightful Italian food for the occasion. Merluzzo, chicken picatta, bruschetta...I got put on risotto duty and I think I did my family proud. Buon Natale!

Bad timing meant that I traveled two weeks in a row, which my system punished me for. So I'm finally back in the gym after weeks of recovery. Of course, we travel next week so...but every effort is worth it.

The Revival Choir AI version of The Thong Song is sending me. First, I love that it's clearly identified and labeled as AI. Second, I forgot I knew every word because the lyrical error irks me. And finally, gospel music is one of my favorites and I'm happy the lyrics more closely match my beliefs.

Predictably, a week of holiday travel followed by a week of work travel resulted in a lot of laundry, very angry and needy cats, and a full on flare. The cats are happy that I'm unable to move, leaving them ample cuddle time. I did manage to take a shower, finally, so that's a win.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Hello internet! I'm trying to raise money for a friend of mine who has to take a month off work to recover for a medical procedure. He's one of the sweetest gentlemen I know and if you can spare a share or a few bucks, it would be appreciated: gofund.me/e5bcc634f

One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is that we spend the week with my aunt in Oklahoma. My wife loves running around the lake here and I spent the time knitting 🧶. The weather is cool to cold, sunny to rainy, but I always enjoy the change from the desert and it calms to knitting.

Disability is one of those DEI categories that could affect anyone at any time. One of my favorite quotes is "Health is a crown the healthy wear but only the sick can see."

Morning.

This is the best takedown of Musk I’ve ever read. From a beloved author around my age no less, Joyce Carol Oates.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Some good news in this hellscape.

Done for the night, Added several of Saturn's more notably sized moons, and a funny Jupiter potato. Next time I'm going to work on the ice giants' moons and maybe pluto's moons. Then, its dwarf planet time! #pixelart #space

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

My 5-year-old nephew has been admitted to the Tulsa Burn Unit. Don't know a lot of details yet. They're there and I'm here. So I'm posting it because I can't do anything else.

Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia and his wife Kayla announced that their newborn daughter, Sterling Sol, died on October 26th. Please continue to keep this family in your thoughts. 💔

A view from War. I'm still SCA Naked and nesting my tent, but the view from my front door is nice. #mySCA #gww2025

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social made me cry as I felt something I haven't felt in a long time...hope. His victory speech was a well-deserved lap and I hope it burned every racist, islamaphobic commentator, politician, and voter. He can open his arms tomorrow...I'm okay with him pumping his fist tonight.

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

Baseball is like if the Book of Job was a sport.

We're setting up a food table for durable goods during trick or treat (in addition to candy). If anyone has ideas for items to add, I would love to hear them. Also, what are your small #actsofresistance?

The day after a haircut is always trash. Is this just a #curlyhair issue? My wife's hair doesn't seem to have this issue.

For the umpteenth time: We currently do NOT have a United States Congress. We don’t. The Legislative Branch of our federal government does NOT currently exist. 💯 this.👇

Mookie Betts just won the 2025 Roberto Clemente award, the most prestigious award in all of MLB. The Roberto Clemente Award is given annually to the player who best represents baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, and positive contributions, both on and off the field.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.” @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

We serve 300 people a night and our lines are growing as govt assistance is cut. SNAP will run out Nov 1. Millions of the poorest Californians will be harmed. We are going to raffle off everything we can think of to help fill the gap. World Series tickets first! : givebutter.com/game4?gbtid=...

I never used Spotify but thought some people should be aware.
