I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

It’s less chaos and more sediment. Two centuries of design trends stacked on top of each other
just now my kid asked me who was on the $1 and when I looked at this picture I am struck by how the design language of american money is absolute CHAOS

Somewhere out there’s a perfectly good idea that just needs better lighting and a snack.

Lately I’ve been thinking how much of life’s quiet maintenance. Not big wins or drama but small invisible choices..resting when we should, letting some things go. It’s not heroic, but that’s where stability’s built. Maybe growth isn’t always forward motion..sometimes it’s staying intact.

Chilling tactic..voices for life’s push via settlements and supreme court petition’s all about doxxing under the guise of oversight with only 146 abortions in ‘24, it’s targeted harassment. Protect privacy and rights! #ReproJustice
Anti-choice extremists in Indiana are trying to force the release of records for the very few legal abortions in the state (146 in 2024). The purpose is to intimidate patients and providers and expose them to harassment, arrests, and violence.
Anti-Abortion Groups Try a New Intimidation Tactic: Make Abortion Records Public
Abortion rights opponents want Indiana to use reporting rules to expose abortion providers and recipients to targeting.

Cookie update. Almost 3 weeks & we're at that staying 5 ft from me at all times phase. Here he is judging the way I clean his litter box. He has opinions. Cats are amazing. This morning all of his cat toys were lined up at his water bowl. Sharing? Drowning? Love this guy so much. Hugs to you all ❄️💙❄️

Nat 20 charisma indeed Chicago Public Library’s Harold Washington branch has an in-house board game collection for epic sessions on site.. think Catan, Ticket to Ride and classics like Monopoly. They also run D&D intro campaigns for kids and teens. Who needs a tavern when the library’s your dungeon?
GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Borrowing that shovel..first dig for funding treasures, bury the red tape and plant tracks from UC Davis to Auburn. With Sac Valley Station revamps kicking off soon..we’re on track! LFG 🛤️
You can borrow my shovel LFG
Sacramento deserves a regional rail system. What would it take to build it?

Poverty isn’t magically erased because assistance exists. Benefits are a patch..not proof of security. Anyone who’s actually lived it knows the diff.
Foghorn leghorn claims that the Census inflates the poverty rate. He says a single parent w 2 kids & income of $33000 gets $33000 in Medicaid, housing, etc. So they are NOT poor, & by changing our formula, we can say the US has a poverty rate of 1%.
His seat is up in 2028.Never forget.

If everything feels complicated lately.. it might be because someone’s benefiting from it staying that way.

Being careful has never once been the point of anything worth remembering.
Always always always do whatever crazy thing you're doing AS HARD AS YOU CAN
One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Some days you’re full of opinions.
some days you just stand in the kitchen wondering why you walked in there.

Mate for life.
Equal effort.
Still affectionate.

Even the birds get it, loyalty’s natural.

Someone rebuked me for saying out loud what everyone knows:

WE NEED A PEACEFUL NONVIOLENT REVOLUTION IN GOVERNANCE, SOCIETY, AND ECONOMICS.

It's not only me saying that. Here's what the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Program wrote in October 2022:

Funny how the toddlers survive the raid but not the headline.
The Event: ICE storms local grocery store, aggressively flipping over every shopping cart with a toddler in it.

The Headline: Radicalized Mothers Bring Children To Violent Riot.

Nothing teaches impermanence like children’s toys.
Kid: gets Cinderella doll, promptly loses one glass slipper.

Me: "Yeah, man, that's how it goes, I guess."

This wasn’t just a moment..it was a blueprint. Jobs and freedom. Collective pressure. Moral clarity. We remember the image but often forget the demands. 62 years ago, people organized at this scale to force structural change. Not vibes. Not symbolism. Material demands, backed by numbers.
Today marks 62 years since the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

Once you start looking at the list, it’s hard not to notice how many of these are amplified by tech. Not created in a vacuum.. but definitely accelerated.

This’s the part people skip. General strikes don’t succeed without unions. History’s very consistent on that.
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I'm watching this tonight, because we may have a new entry for War Dads: Dads Who War Good. This looks perfect. It's even "inspired" by true events. Flawless.
