Work in progress is the DNA double helix sweater. I love this pattern, but it is time consuming. Some day I’ll finish it for the hubby. For now, it’s great for cable week #showmeyourknits.

Our second year creating a pollinator garden with our pond and water feature. Things have come in nicely. Yarrow, salvia, lily, and I’m not sure of the name of the purple flowers. 💐 🐝 #gardening #pollinatorgarden

"I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

I’ve been terribly sick all week with this crud. Finally feeling a bit better and the corgis have been so bored. False spring is here and the sun is warm. Time for a little ball. #corgisky #falsespring 🐶🍃

RIP U.S. Department of Education. Education Secretary Linda McMahon introduced herself to department employees with an email calling on them to join her in a “historic final mission” to downsize the agency and shift control to the states.

Voters have repeatedly rejected school vouchers that take funding from public schools. Yet, anti-public education politicians are forcing them through executive orders—hurting millions of students. Public funds belong in public schools. Tell Congress to stop attacks on our students👉🏽 buff.ly/4hYMx7e

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Apparently it was too inefficient for the government to enforce that your workplace take steps to prevent you from having your hands flattened in a roller machine
Rather than a "botched" DEI purge, perhaps this illustrates the way that anti-DEI rhetoric is being used to justify efforts to harm vulnerable people more broadly. On a related note, it is a mistake to accept at face value the explanations of the fascist state.
In botched DEI purge, OSHA trashes workplace safety guidelines
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an internal February 7 email ob...

It's terrifying that this man has the felon in his pocket and also has the ability to make him act.
Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

Trump is moving to dismantle the Department of Education—a direct attack on our students, educators, and public schools.
We won't let it happen. Congress must reject this extremist agenda. Go to nea.org/pushback and demand your members of Congress reject these attacks on public education.

![YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].
YOU: I am calling on [HOUSE MEMBER/SENATOR] to speak out against President Trump’s actions on Monday in freezing all federal aid. This is blatantly illegal; the Executive Branch can’t unilaterally decide to ignore laws that were passed by Congress, especially when it comes to financial aid.
YOU: MOC must take action, and clarify how they will stop the freeze and ensure that the millions who are directly impacted by financial aid will not be harmed.
YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENT]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreia6t55htxgj6v4nxv5uys3mklsp7lgba2qajqxb6c542lp2gf4gq4@jpeg)
