This heat wave is absolutely bone crushing. I'm so glad I installed central air two years ago. But if you're without AC, or you're dealing with a heat wave for the first time because it's reaching areas that don't historically get this hot, here are a few tips from my years of poverty in a desert:

‘The US and Israeli governments have presented the offensive as a pre-emptive effort to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, but that justification is laughable. Israel, on the other hand, has hundreds of undeclared nuclear weapons.’ @tomstevenson.bsky.social: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ju...

Tiberius— "There has never been a better time to watch this video"

The decision in Skrmetti lets politicians create their own evidence to justify banning necessary healthcare. It's bad, writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social. Not just for trans people, but for anyone whose healthcare is or could potentially be politically contested. Read more here:

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

One of my old pieces (on vultures) got a new life with @nautil.us narrations.!

DOGE is eviscerating the federal workforce to pay for a tax bill which will benefit the wealthiest Americans, including Elon Musk. Which agencies are laying off federal workers? Here's your master list, including the gutting of the Environmental Protection Agency. www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

"Nobody voted for Elon Musk. And nobody wants airplanes to fall out of the sky. But after Musk pushed out the head of the FAA and Donald Trump gutted the agency’s safety board, and Musk attempted to push air traffic controllers to quit, the worst domestic airline disaster since 2001 occurred."

Slate [Feb 2] -- Purpose of Trump multiple Executive Orders is to "create Jim Crow for trans people" by "fully disenfranchising them from society on a scale not seen since Jim Crow" (e.g., the legal racial caste system mostly in South from Civil War to 1960s). [by @rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

as we approach tax season it would be nice to know if we still have a federal government

A lightning advance on Goma by March 23 Movement (M23) fighters ended with the rebels declaring the “liberation” of the Congolese city on Monday – allegedly with help from Rwandan armed forces.

The US is the largest global source of foreign aid. Presidents cannot eliminate congressionally appropriated federal agencies by executive order. "That’s what a despot—who wants to steal the taxpayers’money to enrich his billionaire cabal—does,”@chrismurphyct.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/02/01/p...

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Great read. I’ve been blown away by the incredible organizing in Chicago over the years to fight deportations and detention expansion. Lots to learn from their efforts and how they are preparing now.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

New original reporting on bias at the New York Times: Evan Urquhart has the story of @billiejsweeney.bsky.social, once an editor on the NYT international desk, and how she tried, and ultimately failed, to improve the paper's coverage of trans issues from the inside.

Just in time for the holidays: a paperback edition of Slaves for Peanuts, complete with its pretty golden seals! Actually, it came out a few months ago…but time slipped away from me.
