Introductory post - I am looking for community as we navigate the new world order. People I love and care about will be hurt. I want to do what I can to be a truth bearer and a beacon of light in the post-truth era.

For any of you who would rather text than call your elected officials to add your opinion on the current shit show, @resistbot (text 50409) can help you. It’s an easy way to target the right people with your message. Now is the time to get noisy, people. Let them know we care. #Resistance2025

It turns out the “free speech” guys want the federal government, or its proxies, to control all major communications platforms

I come home from this adventure on Monday. I am sad about what I’m returning to. But at least I have some lovely new memories.

Great food at Mesa Farta in Tavira. Locally sourced, well prepared, and a beautiful environment. #portugal

Our tour guide in Porto today is an architect by training. He told us a great deal about the history of the city and the changing governments. He shared this quote as he finished up and I felt it in my bones.

Heading out of the country for a few weeks. I may debate returning as I watch things start to circle the drain. #americantragedy

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

Hoping that Bluesky is as good as Threads. I have enjoyed my sense of connectedness there but I don’t want to enable Zuckerberg any more than I have to. I hate this US Oligarchy already.
