I was informed today that what I am writing and posting right now, on this app, is referred to as a “skeet.”

Do with that what you will, fellow elder millennials.

I live for an unreliable narrator. Glutton for punishment, clearly— send me your favs!
Why would you make your narrator unreliable. I trusted you and purchased this book and this is how you repay me

Under fascism, no one is safe.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.

Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

The overwhelm might be making you feel like there’s nothing you can do. That could be because you’ve got limited access to your cortex, bc stress.

So borrow cortical strength from others. Let’s start a chain of everyday acts of resistance folks are practicing. Big or small, drop yours here. 📝

If you are a federal employee, it is advised to set your social media accounts to private to prevent outside viewership, as reports suggest that loyalty screenings have begun.

All right, enough doomscrolling. Let’s do a little bloom scrolling.

What is giving you hope right now?

I’ll go first: we’ve made it through the 10 darkest weeks of the year.

Working with a local group to build a banned book library for kids/teens here in Cleveland, OH.

Any librarians, educators, book lovers have a banned book shopping list they could share with me? 🙏

Not a bad idea to have a few on hand…
If you live in an abortion-restricted state, order your abortion pills now. PlanCPill.org will direct you to a provider who delivers to your state. If you live in Texas, you'll need to go through AidAccess.org. Legal jeopardy is on the provider, not the recipient--for now. So order them now.
PLAN C: Abortion pills by mail in every state
Plan C is an information resource for self-managed, at-home abortion with pills. Learn how people in the U.S. are accessing abortion pill options online.

Just read that American users flocking to Chinese apps is already impacting the ability of diasporic Chinese users to access Chinese content (a way for students/visa holders/etc to stay informed and connected).

Like @ckyourprivilege.bsky.social said, we are in a new era of “digital colonization.”

Many Latino immigrants in Los Angeles worked to extinguish some of the fires with hoses. They aren't firefighters, they were just helping people in other neighborhoods.

Had my own bout of climate hypervigilance when we lost power for a few hours overnight. Immediately jumped to catastrophizing. Never went back to sleep.

The collective nervous system is frenzied and fried.

Care for yourselves and each other.
