Disregulated people scream in the void of social media. Take time for planets, cute cats, and local civc connections. Life cannot be lived, let alone rebuilt, in the void
Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.

I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

This attack on DEI destroys some intra office trainings and, more dangerously, government that works for all.

We've all been through trainings that weren't helpful, sought confessions of privilege, etc. We do need a reset on some of this generations excesses. This isn't that.
I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities.

Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice.

The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.

Watched GATTACA last night, first time!! Starkly visualized future of DNA determinism, new underclass with tight story. Deserves cult status.

Remember I tried to see in theater in '97, left too fast.

Through the 90s DNA tech was still new. Star Trek, Law & Order and OJ trial instructed.

The purpose of the pardon is to claim the violence of January 6 as sacred. That's not hyperbole--the movement frames it in explicitly religio-nationalist terms. It's--as absurd as this sounds--to add 2021 to the mythic chronology of 1776 and D-Day.

Don't know who I admire more, people who dress for very cold weather or who have 'tough it out' mindset. Fear with gear, or no fear no gear.

This day in '93 I wrote essay on Inauguration for anthro class. Next morning teacher reads it in front of class.

I wrote from rare place: familiarity & curiousity. Prior summer I worked at museum on National Mall, played volleyball by Capitol.

Rituals, esp hand on Bible, felt mine/not mine

I wish we could cultivate a culture where people get excited about and share the new skills they've learned more than the new stuff they've bought.
