My organization is paying for lodging and meals in addition to registration for my professional conference in February. Is this what you business girlies feel like all the time? ✨

big ruling today

Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Does anyone know of popular region-based feeds? Particularly for activists and local news? Curated, hashtagged, etc. I want to create something to help Michigan organizing. #ATproto #feeds

DSA stands in absolute opposition to the proposed deal to pass Trump's billionaire budget. Healthcare is a right, not a bargaining chip.

Don't use Threads or any Meta product as a barometer like this because it is a mirror that only shows you what you want to see

Observing in a social studies class and the Kids Podcast, "KidNuz" framed the senate vote as "yay, now the airports will be functional for the holidays".

We have a system that penalizes alternative options. We need ranked choice voting and effective 3rd parties. @rankmivote.bsky.social

A lot of this today. If you're in Michigan, volunteer with @rankmivote.bsky.social! If you're not in Michigan, Donate to rankmivote.org/donate! Ranked Choice Voting gives voters more choice!!

In related news, I attended a @demsocialists.bsky.social informational meeting today. We live in a rigged single-party system, and today proves it. We need alternatives.

An otherwise well-meaning socialist referred to "hill people" derogatorily, and I feel the need to educate him on "rednecks" and the Appalachian labor movements.

This is the future leftists want

bluesky branding refresh unveiled

i don’t think the main problem with the american church is “too many of them refuse to be scammed by a lady who is obviously lying.”

Does anyone play the Digimon Trading Card Game? Is it good? Fun? #Digimon #DigimonTCG

The thing about Jacob is that even though he can be annoying, he's also usually right 😅

making Jacob the stereotypical Bluesky user is the rudest and truest attack anyone has ever made on us

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Now this is journalism

The early-November cruise/vacation spam emails for educators suddenly don't feel like spam to me 😅

It's #SchoolPsychWeek! School Psychologists are a vital part of a school ecosystem who often go unnoticed. We address barriers to education through data-collection & assessment, consultation & collaboration, mental health services and more! #EduSky🍎 #SchoolPsych

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

Me, reading headlines aloud: Democrat won governor of Virginia! Husband: 😀 Me: first woman!! Husband: 😃 Me: Former CIA agent... Both of us in unison: 😒

Good morning to everybody except for this ghoul who wants to be governor

Protecting & strengthening voting rights and election integrity is one of the most important political actions we can take in the coming years. That's why I'm supporting @rankmivote.bsky.social. Ranked Choice Voting increases voter turnout, delivers popular results, and gives each vote more power.

Have you considered that socialist ideas are popular (almost by definition)?

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Speaker Mike Johnson vs Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes -- who knows less about what's going on?

That's a PPP!!!

Sure wish Google was still committed to not being evil

New awareness campaign

LLMs will affirm what you want to hear, reinforce your antisocial patterns, and inhibit your growth. Don't "talk to them" at all, and under NO circumstances is it "therapy." #TherapySky #PsychSky

Just completed our annual viewing of "Coco (en Español)". One of Pixar's best. 5/5 feel-good generational healing. Recuerda sus muertos. 🥲💀🦋

You all seeing these "TikTok Text" posts? Something very sinister is afoot. I think every one I've seen has been AI. Some of them are political engagement bait and some appear to be word salad with zero engagement. 🧐

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.
