Feed your head. Retired after 15 years as a social media librarian for my public library system. I’m trying to figure out how to move forward as fascists take over my country. Mum to Max the greyhound and auntie to some delightful humans. She/her.

1/2: A note about what new social media is like. U have to work at it. If you just go there & lurk youll be disappointed with what you see. But they’re are also an opportunity. When there are no algorithms forcing what’s on your timeline we have the chance to make it what we want & need it to be.
Alas, no Bernie/AOC rally for me. I arrived 50 min early for the Bernie/AOC rally and the line is already wrapped all he way around Catalina HS then stretches east down Elm to Alvernon. Ah well.

This.
The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

The President is on the verge of signing an illegal executive order to eliminate the Dept of Education. In no universe will this help our kids succeed.
Call your Senators and your Rep in the House and demand they do what they can to protect the Dept of Education!

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Yo Tucson, if you’re looking for pre-printed resistance signs, check out: peacesupplies.org/product-cate... it’s allied with The Gloo Factory, a unionized print shop.
Yard Signs
All yard signs are made from coroplast, printed on a single side, and measure 24″ wide by 18″ tall. Each sign can be ordered in bulk quantities, with or without H-stakes for outdoor mounting.

If you think protesting is boomer cringe, I get it. So find something else to do that makes Tesla's brand toxic. Make art, leave bad reviews, use your imagination. Tesla's business is weak, and if we can make it weaker, the stock will fall and wipe out his fragile paper fortune. Every bit helps!

It’s nice that the Target founder’s heirs oppose canceling DEI & sidelining Black-owned products, but they don’t run the company—and Target has made its stance clear.
