Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Normal Americans: I am enjoying the artistic genius that is Green Day & Bad Bunny’s halftime show spectacular Effing Weirdos: I will only watch a shit sandwich in a bad wig sing and perform incompetently as is my PREFERENCE because it is mostly in ENGLISH

Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

The thing about Catherine O’Hara is she is so hilarious and talented that I forgot she was mortal

I got so mad about what this administration is doing that I jumped on the treadmill and ran a mile as fast as I could. And I (usually) hate running with all my heart. I hate what’s happening more.

"A corrupt authoritarian president has been destroying his country for over a decade—and as of this weekend, he decided to invade Venezuela. But who is this political criminal?"

It's winter. Make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are working!

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

it is your DUTY as a parent to be basic and cringe. if your child says "6-7" and you do not say, loud enough for their friends to hear, "8-9?", causing profound silence and intense discomfort, you are neglecting your responsibilities. being cool is for kids. your days of being laughed WITH are over

might be time for a little re-watch of my favorite comfort movie of all time… “Death of Stalin” ⚒️

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

me: 2025 was unnecessarily wild, man, I’m cautiously hopeful for a fresh start in 2026 2026: your authoritarian, pedo, wannabe king has just started a war for oil and to distract his base from his many documented crimes! me: i see 2026: oh, and measles are back 💓

ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her. (Published November)

I think 2026 should bring the feral and weird vibes. Following the rules isn’t exactly working, so let’s crack open a few of our hoarded, old formula Four Lokos and break shit.

this reminded me of the time my husband announced, out of the blue and with great passion, that he would (one distant day) open a Jar Jar Binks themed bar and name it… Bar Bar Drinks 🥂 bsky.app/profile/meme...

A year ago, I became an L&D nurse. I didn’t know how to stop a hemorrhage or resuscitate a newborn, but I learned. I keep count of my deliveries with a bead jar: 🩷 for girls, 🩵 for boys, and 🤍 for my angel babies. I have 120+ deliveries under my belt and it’s just super cool to have a job I love 🫙

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

I’ve never bought an ornament so fast in my whole life 🎄 🧛 ✨

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

holy shit -- one of Trump's toadies just passed out and the White House event is brought to an abrupt end

My first protest was a union strike with my dad at age 10 (my future high school teacher got run over by a scab). I marched during different administrations, phone banked, attended meetings, etc…the online do-nothings complaining about protests not being perfect enough for THEIR liking are my enemy.

Some good, brave stuff happening

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

you’ll pardon me if I listen to the American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology when they affirm that acetaminophen is safe for my pregnant patients over the opinion of a man who has zero expertise in, well, anything and sounds like a dying lawnmower when he speaks www.acog.org/news/news-re...

what should be my little treat to myself when I help deliver my 100th baby??

I sometimes get teased for carrying so many extra snacks in my work bag, but the giant snack bag came in handy tonight when my unit was wiped out of aaaaaall the goodies and I had Smart Popcorn to give my starving post-partum patient 🍿💕

It looks like someone has hacked a crosswalk button in Palo Alto to deliver at least two different messages in the voice of Elon Musk. (They are not complimentary)

Welcome back to Bluesky, the economics website where we discuss trade policy

i believe in the indominable American spirit to hate one specific really annoying guy

Three vocal experts on rising authoritarianism/autocracy (especially in America) who I greatly admire - Marci Shore, Timothy Snyder, and Jason Stanley - quietly announced that they are all leaving the U.S. for Toronto. These very smart canaries have fled our particular coal mine and I am…concerned.

did any of y’all read “The Gift of Fear”? it teaches people how to recognize gut instincts in situations that are becoming dangerous/have potential for violence one lesson demonstrates how predators proclaim “I would never do X” apropos of nothing to put prey at ease, but they are intending to do X

if you’re curious how our billionaire overlords are doing, Threads warned me against posting this…probably because it will make JD Vance cry like the baby back bitch that he is

side note, as an Arctic girl, I have to say that Vance complaining that Greenland is cold in March makes him a little baby back BITCH

my patient asked her husband to grab her deck of index hype cards during contractions and he was flipping thru them for her to repeat back and it was all garden variety stuff until husband showed a card and she became extra activated and angrily yelled “JD VANCE COULD NEVER DO THIS!!!!!!!” 👀 👀 👀

something that always delights me about Miss Karoline Leavitt is that she, without fail, always chooses to wear deeply unflattering outfits that absolutely do not suit her coloring

I was doing pericare on my postpartum patient and she looked embarrassed and whispered “I’m so sorry…I didn’t have time to shave before I went into labor 😔” and I whispered back “it’s all good! I didn’t shave for you either”

very much the same vibe

As we get closer to the end of aurora season here in Anchorage, the northern sky will begin to glow orange at night since the sun will go less below the horizon. This was mid April 2021, one of the later dates that I've photographed the aurora. Send clear skies.

Oh look Elon musk cutting pediatric cancer research

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I am so fucking furious at Chuck Fucking Schumer

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

BREAKING: French satellite company Eutelsat is replacing Starlink and plans to send approximately 40,000 communication terminals to Ukraine Their stock has rocketed 390% in the 3 days as Tesla, Starlink, SpaceX and X continue their F R E E F A L L

Tesla “has lost more than 50 percent of its value — the equivalent of some $800 billion — since cresting in mid-December”. Awwwww, buddy! Here’s a hard lesson: sucks to suck. 💅

it’s so wild to me that half my country is railing against pronouns (while using pronouns)…like what’s next…adverbs?

Really wish people would stop talking about the problem with Science under Trump as “budget cuts”. No. Budgets are set deliberatively by elected members of congress. Budgets haven’t been cut. What’s happening are *purges* and *censorship*.

I just started watching the Ukrainian satire “Servant of the People” on Netflix where Volodymyr Zelenskyy stars as a high school teacher who unwittingly becomes president after a swear-filled rant about government corruption goes viral and it is a VERY good time

whenever the other least suspects it, my husband and I will troll the other with lyrics from Owl City’s “Fireflies”
