So glad I worked from home today. This guy's been hanging outside my window most of the morning. All that grazing and pooping must've been exhausting.

@nytimes.com published 199 terms that are disappearing in Trump's administration, based on agency memos that order their removal or caution their use.

In "1984," Orwell explored how restricting language can reshape public thought & limit dissent. Aka Newspeak.

Let's be the voices these words need.
Screen shot from the New York Times with the headline “These Words Are Now Discouraged at Federal Agencies” and the text Agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed from their pages. 3 minute read. The partial list of terms includes activism, affirming care, anti-racism, assigned at birth, at risk, biases, biologically male, BIPOC, Black and latinx, clean energy, climate crisis, confirmation bias, cultural heritage, DEI, disability, discriminatory, disparity, diverse groups, diversity, equitableness, feminism, gender ideology, Gulf of Mexico, hate speech, implicit bias, inclusiveness, inclusivity, inequalities, injustice, intersectionality, LGBTQ, marginalized, most risk, Mx, nonbinary, people + uterus, pregnant people, prejudice, pronouns, racial inequality, sexuality, social justice, socioeconomic, stereotypes, systemic, they/them, transgender, traumatic, unconscious bias, underprivileged, victims.

This really sucks. How are guitarists supposed to improvise solos if they have to constantly consider if what they are playing at any given moment could earn them a copyright complaint?

It's a good thing we bought a king-sized bed so that these two bed hogs can use up every square inch of it.

Naughty girl had to show me what she was up to. That's the handle from a plastic tote that she chewed off.

I doubt any of my current Bluesky connections are going to care, but I really miss the company that used to sell these one-piece clutch lines for Miatas. These are my favorite Miata upgrade by far. This was just one of so many other cool products that they used to make and sell. Miss you @garagestar
