Just finished the canceled Hulu show Death & Other Details. We need to give diverse shows room to grow. It would have been enuf to have queerness, aging bodies, bdsm, & @rahulkohli13.bsky.social as a romantic lead finally acting his age. It also had creative stylistic choices for storytelling!

Posted a one-star review of Google’s “Gulf of America” an inaccurate and unnecessary name change only affecting US phones, including a helpful photo of a thumbs down (it won’t show up). Now begins my de-google process! It’s a lot to unwind, but Magic Earth maps is very promising.

Do not comply in advance, keep finding ways to resist. You have more skills than you realize, you have an audience. Focus on 2-3 key issues, your health and community. Fascism thrives on isolation and overwhelm.

I’m knitting, I’m reading, and I work with NIH grants. @absurdistwords.bsky.social

Local official Laura Smith who serves on a public library board and is vice chair of the town supervisors made a smirking TikTok to “check in on my … friends who are struggling this week” made a nazi salute and added “My heart goes out to you” as a poor cover for her gesture.

Absolute nazi whistle

I woke early, unable to sleep. Found myself reading a declassified CIA Sabotage handbook (fun). Organizational sabotage sure sounds familiar. www.cia.gov/static/5c875...

My job is not even directly grant funded. Of the 21k jobs in PA, there are thousands more that act as infrastructure.

I’ve found Bsky to be a lovely replacement for Twitter. I think Trust Cafe has the mechanics to feel like a safer FB, but the population there is tiny. I don’t know of an Instagram alternative. I choose to stay where I can keep connection, but I hope turning off Meta freaks those fuckers out.

Or buttering.

Updating my earlier first post with some alt text and a lovely chain. Hope that I can convey the hysterical fluffiness of my calico Maine coon (?) mix, offset by her smollness. I know, Maine coon cats are huge. Ignoring that, she has most of the traits.

If soot sprites came in calico with whiskers they would be my cat (she is also terrible at manual labor and just wants to dance and get snacks)
