If the crusade against DEI is a focus on individual merit, why are we erasing mentions of individuals who achieved great things based on their own merit? Oh yeah, because this is a dogwhistle for white male nationalism. www.rawstory.com/nasa/

And by the time I woke up this was already walked back. This administration is annoying.
Can we go one evening without a midnight announcement. I'm particularly annoyed because I placed an order on Thursday for a specific gift for my son, that he requested for his birthday, that ships from China and now who even knows.

Today our small school district sent a letter saying ICE would not be accommodated on our campuses and our sheriff dept stated they're not legally allowed to turn over data on undocumented interactions. Local laws matter. I'm glad our kids don't have to worry.

DOT is ordered to prioritize funding by birthrate. This is a fake innocent way to prioritize certain states and punish others. I am very tempted to stop my fed taxes withholding and just pay quarterly. No more free loans from me to the govt.

We had to make an apple pie for a contest & I apparently have no concept of how many apples one pie needs, so now I have two apple pies. The competition "pie" is an apple soufra. The other is Sara Lee crust and crumble top. Only one of us eats apple pie, and they're very happy.

This is a photo from a reddit post but I wanted to share because folks, you don't need to spend money on fancy kits for your fermenting. Use cotton cloth, a rubber band, and a pasta sauce jar. Repurposing is resistance. #resistsky #budgetsky #DIYSky

Altadena is a paragon of black homeownership. Consider some support to rebuilding those neighborhoods and helping those folks keep their property out of predatory investors' hands as part of celebrating Black History Month. There is a link to a gofund me directory here. ktla.com/news/califor...

Gardening is resistance. Gardening can be done on the cheap. If we feed ourselves and our neighbors, we are less tamable.
