A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Happy #caturday, humans of Bluesky! I like to help my humans pack when they need to take a trip. It’s important that they take some of my fur with them. Don’t you love the way my mom’s velvet jacket matches my eyes?

When we moved out of the city into a small, more rural town just a few miles away, I wondered what kind of signs I’d see in people’s yards. Both of these houses are along the route I walked today. Remember, y’all, there are always allies, even in places you may not expect to find them.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.
Mark Hamill posting rebellious content in a battle against a dictator and his robotic sidekick is the most Star Wars shit ever.

It’s all a matter of how closely we are keeping watch … the name LITERALLY changes for me when I zoom in ever so slightly … The message here is clear: LOOK CLOSELY Y’ALL. Don’t let ‘em do this shit without you noticing.

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:

"It does nothing"

"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"

Will not comply.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I know there are way bigger problems in the world but golly who else is planning to downgrade their #netflix subscription? I miss the days of DVD plans when you could get ANYTHING you wanted for a reasonable price...

Stay kind to each other.
They want us off balance, angry and above all, divided.
Joy is fuel.
The revolution is personal.
They can assume power, but not control.
We are entering a new winter.
Bundle up, and visualize a world after their reign.
There’s no alternative, and no surrender.

Because the goal of education is not to get the assignments done, to produce the writing, or to ace the test.

The goal is to become an educated citizen who can think for yourself, with a well-developed understanding of the world around you. THAT IS IMPORTANT.
