Very fun to explain the signal scandal to my 13 year old who truly understands the catastrophe of adding the wrong person to the group chat and absolutely fell out when I showed her the Mike Waltz emojis.

How great to be perusing the @jococruise.bsky.social lineup, find out that @scalzi.com is on it, realize he wrote one of my fav books I read last year (Kaiju Preservation Society) & be intro'd to Starter Villain, which I'm also loving. Can't wait to say thanks in person 🚢 😉 #booksky

Love this. Love WCK. Love her. Also love that one of my besties is featured in this video (yay Brian!)!
Former Vice President Kamala Harris joined WCK’s efforts in Southern California, serving meals alongside people directly affected by the fires. Local chefs & volunteers, many of whom lost their own homes in the blazes, continue to show up daily to cook for their communities. #ChefsForCalifornia

I've been a huge advocate of the communities I witnessed & was part of on TikTok.
Most recently, I was moved while tracking the #BadBunny #DTMF album release there.
So as a sort of eulogy to this evening's shutdown, I will repost the text messages I forced on my friends this week about it.
