Call Congress today. Democrats need a push and Republicans are running scared after the Texas election. All families with kids RELEASED NOW
Liam, 5, has been freed, but four other students from his school district remain detained in Texas. Two boys from his elementary school were taken Thurs

“This isn’t something we are prepared or trained for. We’ve dedicated our lives to protecting + educating children,” school superintendent told me
ICE detains two more students from Liam Ramos’s school, officials say

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

This is a very very good follow please check them out!!
For years, I recommended AGAINST using Amazon/Ring doorbells, cams, and assistants.
So hopefully y'all did that already.

This just a checkin reminder as you look behind you.

Saw a little 🧊-out demonstration today on the overpass. Gave em a wave, a honk and flashed my brights in support.
Realized I was bawling five seconds later. Haven’t cried about it because my tears aren’t useful. But something about those five people up there got me. #iceout #fuckice

Quite something to see this whilst listening to wealthy white aristocrats in the Lords saying that kids are in danger from their phones.
Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

“I’m hungry” “we have almonds” “I hate almonds” “if you were really hungry…” Brenda if I was really hungry I’d eat the meat off your bones before I ate those stupid almonds

(this is a joke!. I hope I don’t need to clarify that but better safe than sorry haha)

What she said
PSA: If anyone is looking for a smart, solid, experienced tech policy analyst w a global perspective and UK/EU-specialization, @heatherburnstech.bsky.social is great!

Over the past years she's been an invaluable help at Signal, and across the ecosystem more broadly.

Every part of you that thinks you have nothing to offer, is standing in the way of what you DO have to offer being available and mirrored back to you. You can’t see how much you mean to your loved ones until you can embrace a moment without shame. You do matter. Let yourself see it. #mentalhealth

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

We’re losing the non- headline, non-work world without noticing: I used to be in the cognitive psych space (studies of memory, perception, creativity) Encoding memory requires attention. Our attention spans are spread thin and commanded so much more than they used to be. 🧵 #psychology #memory

One of my favorite content creators right now is Olivia Unplugged and she does a lot of great talk in this vein about being analog and having real-world presence and focus. I like blusky because I can check it once a day and not feel compelled to log back in again for a few days.
“bsky is boring!”

1) good
2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment
3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it
4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands
5) read book
6) walk outside

Remember when song tracks used to have a seemingly unending quiet static pause between them? Yeah. I forgot too. As much as it still annoyed me to wait, I realized we’ve lost that. We don’t wait anymore. 30 seconds is an eternity in 2026

Me watching a film.

1. Start watching.

2. Wonder what I’ve seen one of the actors in before.

3. Google actor.

4. Go to IMDb/their Wikipedia page.

5. Find out every single detail of their entire life.

6. Realise I’ve completely missed the plot of the film and now have no idea what’s going on.
