“The National Guard is stranded somewhere on this battlefield of partisan politics. They are not ready for this arena, and we should never have asked them to be. Politics is not a military mission.” @juliettekayyem.bsky.social

Changes! I've got a new handle here parasight.bsky.social. I will probably change to one of my new domains which I have to figure out what we're doing with, parasiteclass.us and parasiteclassmates.com. Who's in, and what shall we do with those?

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.
I'm trying to save them.
You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now

On the other hand, what's wrong with being happy and sharing art?
One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Of course, if these time travelers were the St. Mary's crew, which they wouldn't be because the pods won't go to that then, this wouldn't happen, but yeah, I love this. Also, don't forget: https://youtu.be/APMu32sC2nM?si=NnZa1arDgKuSDMI2
Imagining time travel tourists walking around Nazareth in 33AD asking for a “Jesus” and people going “well there’s an interesting guy named Yeshua Bar Yosef who seems to be causing quite a stir” and the tourists wrinkling their noses and going, “No, sorry, we’re looking for someone less… ethnic.”
