If you haven’t been calling your US reps, pls start there. It may not feel as satisfying as big gestures, but it’s often more powerful — & doesn’t require other ppl’s time/energy. Don’t skip effective action bc it feels unsexy, esp when the action you’re waiting to take requires other ppl’s work.

What a month this week has been.
Lemon, it's Tuesday.
This is a gentle reminder to relax your shoulders and unclench your jaw. Stay informed, but give yourself a break from the fire hose. You may not realize how intensely disregulating the constant stream of bad news and horror is until you do.

#tudor nerds! What prayers were said for Henry VIII’s funeral? How widespread would the #reformation rejection of purgatory have been in 1547?

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

I ❤️ leakers!
Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks.
Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

Think that gender-affirming healthcare for teens & tweens might be harmful (or want ammo for convos w ppl who do)? Listen to the “Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria” eps of Maintenance Phase — they’ve read waaay more of the data than any of the other folx you’ve heard from.

Divesting isn't always quick, it isn't easy, & it's not possible for everyone. But when a company basically says "We want your money but we don't want you," they're telling us we can't sit at the counter, but they're happy to serve us at the back door. We'll enrich our CEOs but won't hire you. No.

i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

President Trump announces his administration will move to evaluate the creation of a "national digital asset stockpile" — making good on a promise to support the use of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.
Trump orders administration to evaluate potential for 'national digital asset stockpile'
The price of bitcoin briefly soared, but the order appeared to fall short of crypto advocates' expecations.

Also smug questions about why people were surprised by things they never said they were surprised by.
Calling for a moratorium on people replying to stories with "The cruelty is the point."
Yes, we all know. What is smugly stating it supposed to achieve?

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

It’s my turn to pick the classic movie we watch as a family. (I get to define “classic.”) Jennifer’s Body (indie classic horror, I’ve never seen it), Selma (Oscar winner), or Booksmart (new classic comedy)? (Kids are teens.) (Extra credit for spotting what my picks have in common.)
