What felt like a small accomplishment at the time feels bigger today as I reflect on 2025. I finally had enough space and plans to stay long enough to move my Grammie's and PopPop's 1970s Conn Theatrette electric organ out of storage. Happy New Year, friends. 💜🕯️✨

I’m glad people recognize this as a problem.

I want folks to recognize it when it’s folks talking about women of color in all spaces.

And stop giggling but off because this isn’t just about snarky bullshit it’s about demanding WOC be surveilled for everythjng

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.

You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.

That is all.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.

He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

On this day in 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which made no attempt to free enslaved Black people in non-rebelling states.
