Knitter, mathematician, reader. I love a time loop in tv and movies and an epistolary novel. Angrier than I like to admit.

Louder for the anti-humanities crowd in the back: MATHEMATICS IS ONE OF THE HUMANITIES. It's an esoteric fine art dedicated to the pursuit of the aesthetic principle of "elegance." It's only useful by accident.

it does feel fundamentally dysfunctional, right, to beg lawmakers to use the law to force law enforcement to obey the law

This continues to be the best post ever made on Bluesky and every Democratic politician should follow this advice or fucking resign.
thank you for asking! if I ran Chuck Schumer's account, I wouldn't say anything unless it contained one of the following:

1. details about how Chuck Schumer is helping
2. details about something the person reading the post could be doing
3. any other kind of helpful information at all
Not trolling you. What would you post if you were running his account?

💖💝💕Just Girly Star Trek Things💘💝💕

Im loving Star Trek Starfleet Academy. I'll always love Klingons who take paths beyond warrior. B'Elanna once said "its the warriors who win the battles but engineers build civilizations."

Im sure Jay-Den will have some lovely insight to being a scientist. 💕

If democrats would listen to trans people and the parents that support them, this would be less of a shitshow.
Every time a Democrat says they understand why parents are concerned about pronouns or trans girls playing sports or whatever the fuck, they are campaigning for the party that will deliver on the affirmed “good“ that is transphobia

Reading Eve Ewing’s new book on race and schooling in America and as a white woman teaching at a community college it definitely makes me think about my history and attitudes towards my work.

cnn really gonna go with "suspect charged in antisemitic arson attack was an honor roll student and baseball player" at the same time as they run a story calling the murdered mother some kind of far-left agitator

Oh, this is a crushing disappointment. Not only because we won’t get the samples which will teach a lot, but the challenge of returning the samples would’ve taught infinitely more.

We are losing so much knowledge from this decision.

Bree’s attitude about this is the one I most aspire to. I also have two terrible senators and a good congressperson. I call and spew and make my tiny voice heard because while they may not care, I do, and they’re supposed to represent me so I’m not going to let them go without hearing from me.
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.

I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.

My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.
I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.

So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

Called my terrible senators this morning. Was probably incoherent, but I think I got my point across. Added the 🤮 emoji to their contacts in my phone, so that’s fun.

“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.”

Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.
How are voters meant to understand how serious things are if in lieu of shouting fire AND going into building with hoses, you're simply posting fire safety suggestions on social media?
Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.

You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.

That is all.
