A sad day for America—Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist, has been arrested by ICE, not for any crime, but for his political activism. The Trump administration claims he was involved in “pro-terrorist” activities, yet no formal charges have been filed.

OPM has stated that a response is not necessary. However, if a response were required, here is their plan: Musk-directed emails to government employees, requesting details on their work over the past week, are expected to be fed into an AI system to assess job necessity.

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

Made the mistake of watching the AJ Fikry movie last night. That might be the worst book adaptation I’ve ever seen. They missed the mark by a mile. An hour and forty five minutes I’ll never get back 😅 #booksky #booktomovie #books

want something simple and actionable to do? show up to library board meetings. they're all open to the public. even if there haven't been challenges in your community (yet), show up for support. they're maybe an hour tops, and some even have refreshments.

And just like that, it’s gone. Even if it comes back, it won’t be the same. It was fun while it lasted.
