Shout out to H‑E‑B for stepping up once again to help Texas in a time of need. From delivering food and water to deploying mobile kitchens. Some in our coalition have signed up to volunteer on the ground, while others are donating to support the recovery from afar.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

cant sleep, stewing, thinking about how easy it is for men to be taken seriously as intellectuals, and how much ground you have to claw and claw to be taken with a quarter of the gravity, as a woman

Traveling with three cats over 1,200 miles has got to be one of the most stressful things I’ve done in my life time. The second trip is far better than the first.

One reason Bluesky (still) works for news is that there’s no obvious, pervasive culture of misinformation. If someone you trust reshares something on, say, Syria, the odds that it’s a chud trying to troll people remains relatively low.

I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.
