My life and career are in limbo atm.
Defaults incl reading, movies, politics 💙, and humor. I’m re-learning DDR. 1995 Pride and Prejudice- and it’s not even close.
Abba is my jam

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long.

They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of you, America. You have stood up and spoken out every step of the way—especially when Congress and the media remained silent. When we called for help, you answered.

Remember that time the USA was under a cyber attack from the White House? And people rushed to save crucial scientific, educational, historical, arts, public health, and disaster preparedness information in multiple languages on the Wayback Machine web archive? That time is now. Go! web.archive.org

I want to see so many people posting wins. Like the tiniest wins. The biggest wins. A nice flower. Whatever.

It is vitally important to the work of changing systems to believe that joy is possible and good things exist.

And even without an algo, it's so much easier to go negative.
like please god can we kill that Twitterpilled reply mode where anyone being happy about ANYTHING is a credulous moron who’s taken their eye off the ball who needs you personally to correct them

Mind Flash: My immediate thought was a reference to the Warriors movie bc I just watched Xanadu.

I was momentarily puzzled bc I don’t recall the suns being one of the gangs and I didn’t think michael beck was enough of a heartbreaker for the role…erskates. Hahhahaa

Warriors fans, do we lose a heart breaker in the 4th tonight or do we get crushed by the Suns?

Watching the 1983 mini-series The Thorn Birds again as a elder gen x. I gotta say, this time around I’m rooting for Mary Carson.

It’s been a difficult process but today I liberated myself from writing a 3-volume novel about the color mauve for my biz blog. I’m down to about 300 words.

I’m exhausted, but will muster up a proper bow in response to the anticipated applause.

Two teen migrants were stabbed, one fatally, in Lower Manhattan by a group of men who first asked if they spoke English. They were stabbed after they said, “No.”

No suspects have been arrested.
Migrant teen stabbed to death, another wounded in Lower Manhattan; 3 suspects sought
Police say before the chaos, words were exchanged when one of the suspects asked the teens if they spoke English. When they replied 'no,' that's when things took a turn for the worse.

So if Devin Nunes had a cow account, why not his top aide, Kash Patel?

And could we please call it the Kash Cow?

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance.

We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is.

Joy is my favorite weapon.

This is our newest arrival. I found him on the streets absolutely broken yesterday. He had given up.

I’m very hopeful we can help him recover and give him hope again.

I called him Pedro. His life is already improving (1/5) 🧵
