I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.
In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

So we’ve established vaccines are beneficial, now we’re just haggling about how often.
RFK Jr finally recommends vaccination to deal with the measles outbreak hitting Texas right now.
This is quite the about face for a man who’s been spreading harmful anti-vaxx rhetoric for years.

NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Horrifying.
Can we retire the overused “ok Karen” and replace it for the absolutely accurate “Ok Traitor” ? Example below⬇️. When I’m not raging or crying I’m now and again smirking.

Musing about: the indigenous bands that performed for Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in BC. Ironically held on their lands colonized by his great great grandmother. Survival in the face of attempted eradication and theft. Forgiveness?🤷🏼♀️ Hopeful. photo of Squamish: ERIC CHARBONNEAU//GETTY IMAGES

Big fan. This performance was a masterwork. Not going to lie at 66 and white he makes me uncomfortable as I lean in and listen. Gloriously uncomfortable. Probably not as uncomfortable as Drake but . . .

My device is reacting to my high stress + bad sleep. Was high 80s in early Jan. A reminder to self care folks. I’m tempted to toss the damn ring in a drawer for 4 years but instead I’m adding in a short walk in nature daily, quality moments w/community + more sleep. What’s your plan to stay well?
