I was snarkier in my youth. I like reading, science, and knowing things. I also make things - knitting, sewing, laser, and dabbling in whatever random craft catches my eye.

Me to kiddo: do you want to read the Samantha American Girl Books?
Kiddo: Hmm, it depends. What is the terrible thing she lives through in the books?
...not a wrong way to categorize the books.

Hear me out —
If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.
Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Here in the PNW we're recovering from a major wind event that knocked out a bunch of trees and a lot of power. Inspired by some other folks, I gathered a bunch of fallen branches from our trees and figured out how to make wreaths. I'm pretty pleased with it! #craftsky

Some random Nazi made dozens of accounts to try to harass me today when blocking malfunctioned, & *still* failed because not one single person engaged.
It seems everyone on Bluesky got the memo. React to nothing. Starve them out.
They're so desperate for a crumb of attention. Deny them.

Now the party is really getting started over here! I have missed the wsdot socials since fleeing the other place.
We hear the skies are bluer here, but on our mountain passes, we're seeing a lot of white.
Make sure you're checking the real-time conditions of our passes before you head out that way. Bookmark this page, it'll be your best friend this winter: wsdot.com/travel/real-...

Homework-averse child agreed to listen to my explanation of the math homework as long it was no longer than 45 seconds. As a former high school debater, I have been prepared for this moment for years.

This thread has some great information about how accounts gain a lot of followers and then subtly start introducing bad information into discourse. They also share some tips on finding real people through feeds on threads.
Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/
