I am finally getting into podcasts and my favourite flavour is smart women having friendly chats about important things. Current favs are "Hey White Women" and "What The Heck Just Happened?" I need more of this genre. Recs welcome. Doesn't have to be women tbh.

Alright, real quick.
Some folks want you to think patriotism means obedience. That loving your country means cheering for a guy who thinks the Constitution is a vibe, not a rulebook.
Sir, with absolutely no due respect, that’s a no-go.

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical.
You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

Remember yesterday when I said we'd see a dramatic escalation of their threats and intimidation bc we are hitting the Extinction Burst and the desperation of the regime reaches a fever pitch as they're losing their grasp on power? Yeah.
We don't back down when the regime is in its death throes.

I have one knitting 🧶project on hold because I'm waiting for more yarn to ship, one because I'm waiting for more beads to ship, and one because I'm waiting for more daylight to pick up stitches on black yarn and probably should have used a provisional cast-on so I can see the stitches.

Continuing to elevate this concern until @propublica.org + @josh-kaplan.bsky.social give us clarity: a woman indie journalist sent them her story on Kristi Noem in 3/25, she'd been covering it for months. She texted w/ Kaplan. The bombshell story was published and she received no credit nor pay.
