There can still be joy.
No, that's not right.
There still HAS to be joy. This is a long fight, not a short skirmish, and we'll never make it if we don't find joy.
On Friday, I got together with a group of new community friends, and we made silly art while we talked about rage.
This is the way.

I know this friend and she is such a lovely person. If you have even £1/$1, it can make such a difference for her facing this.
Really sad news today, the husband of a friend of mine had a stroke a couple weeks ago. She's set up a gofundme to help cover the medical/funeral costs, so if you're able to pass a couple dollars her way, it'd mean a lot to me. www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-j...

🚨WRITER BEWARE🚨
I've just gotten an email from a new "self-publishing platform" called Written (written.app), which is making suspiciously extravagant promises about the benefits they offer to authors.
After further research, this is just "upload your book with us and make it an NFT :)"

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets.
It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger.
All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly.
It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

Okay, so joy as resistance has been completely removed from its original context, and that’s why what you know of now doesn’t really work.

I would have voted yes. They called a procedural vote without notice & I like 8 others didn’t make it there on time. Musk’s attacks on our institutions are unconstitutional. He should be subpoenaed & answer to our committee. They should call the vote again with notice.

I think this literally violates the equal protection clause so hard that it should smash on the ground into smithereens. What could more violate the equal protection clause than a law that forbids examination of one group but not another?
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Also to be clear, hope is NOT toxic positivity. Hope is not passive.
My hope is active, determined, protective, viscous, and vengeful.
