excited to debut 5 new values for 2026; my commitment to you:

1. Go Birds
2. Fuck ICE
3. Free Palestine
4. Stop fucking with trans people
5. everything happens so much

I know that things are hard, but we're all looking for hope. or redemption. so it goes.
oh nooo! hope you heal up quickly!

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Anarchism is definitely having a moment in Minnesota. The anarchy is real, productive, and amazing here these days.

apparently 3 of the mixed doubles curling teams are married so i just asked my partner if we should try to become olympic athletes
February 8, 2026 at 1:25 AM
my partner and I are rewatching Shrinking and it's a really beautiful tear jerker show about trying every day to do a little better by each other.

I see recs for The Residence, it was a delight. Gonna add For All Mankind (Apple) because it is character driven but boy do they swing for the fences on plot. I've been doing rewatches of Letterkenny and Shoresy because they have so much fucking heart. Joyous shows.

finally reading the Illusion of Explanatory Depth paper @kissane.myatproto.social linked awhile back and dang it's a useful concept. and explains so much of the world's stupidity imo

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

“Thanks!”

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers.

Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now:

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

i am an anarchist so i don't believe institutions are viable for building a world where everyone can flourish but i'm also a pragmatist and i keep imagining what it'd be like if all the institutional power were seized by anarchists to try and increase agency and autonomy
