A truly phenomenal experience read by @levarburton.bsky.social. If you haven’t listened to an audiobook, let Cosmos be your first. The passion in which it was read and curiosity in which it was written will forever be etched into my mind. Thank you, Carl Sagan.

Donald Trump has invited subway strangler Daniel Penny to his suite at the Army-Navy game this weekend. So now we’re celebrating white people for killing Black people? 😏🙄😡

What I liked most about this book is the humanization of folks that get labeled quickly. More people need to be exposed to the stories shared in this book. How people look out for one another. Unspoken agreements. Community. The interconnectedness of the projects. Fascinating.

Great article, @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social this line helped:

“We all need to selectively expose ourselves to media, having the discipline and restraint to know the difference between awareness and self-harm. There are ways to be blissful without being ignorant, and we all need to seek that balance.”

This is... actually a fairly reasonable takeaway from this year.

It’s such a pleasure to listen to @hcrichardson.bsky.social read her incredibly timely, thoughtful and well-researched book. Highly recommended reading/listening.

Oh no, Donald! Please, whatever you do, don’t get rid of the electoral college! The libs would be owned so hard!
Up late last night, Trump falsely suggested presidential elections are not exclusively based on the Electoral College.

A stunning display demonstrating a lack of basic Constitutional understanding.

It should alarm you how many people do not vote in 🇺🇸. We are being handed over to the wealthy who do not care about the majority. The non-voting population is only going to rise. It took a global pandemic & protesting of injustice to create the highest % of voters in 2020. Apathy kills democracy.

You gon' see there's a light at the end of the tunnel
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
And if you're feelin' lost in the night
It's okay to cry
Just as long as you hold your head

'Cause we're on our way to better
Better's ahead, better's ahead

To avoid disappointment, take people exactly as they are, instead of idealizing about what you wish they would be.

I’ve learned that, by elites, they mean scientists, highly educated, etc. they don’t mean billionaires. DEI is happening right now for the uneducated, sexual abusers, alcoholics, drug abusers, philanderers. Keep being a piece of shit, you’ll get far. This country loves second chances. 77+ mil idiots

Had a scary intrusive thought yesterday. Trying to thank myself for being able to right myself in the moment & not allow me to act on it. It’s also helpful for me to tell myself to “feel it through.” Allow the thought to go through me instead of letting it consume me. Trying to give myself grave.

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.
