I’m deleting my Facebook this week after almost 20 years on the platform. Long overdue and looking forward to not reading my family’s weird and disgusting political posts on a daily basis.

Instead of saying "I didn't understand the halftime show, therefore it is bad art" maybe try and understand why you didn't get it and think critically about the presentation, symbolism, etc. This is part of the beauty of art and creativity.

Can you all PLEASE stop posting on what Kanye West does?
Especially not to share his website and imagery.
Why do we need to know?
He's not worth our attention.

I’m already on books 6 & 7 for this year - which is typically what I’ve read in an entire year. I’m staying informed but replacing nightly doom scrolling with reading to keep whatever sanity I have left.

Extremism experts say a now-familiar playbook to scapegoat transgender people in the wake of high-profile tragedies is part of a political strategy to sow division and expand authoritarian control.
Trump's anti-trans effort is an agenda cornerstone with echoes in history

For those paying attention, this is in line with **YEARS** of Substack defending hate speech as free speech, including anti-trans rhetoric and white nationalism, on platform. A number of writers (myself included) took principled stands then by moving our newsletters off there. More should leave now.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.

Last week it got down to -35° in International Falls. Yet Donald Trump appears to have just halted the bipartisan program that keeps folks’ heat on through the winter.

I watched this video on LinkedIn of a woman try to explain how Elon was just excited and NOT giving the Nazi salute. She did so but doing the gesture over, and over, and over again. But since her fingers were spread, she explained, it’s not the Nazi salute.
First of all, bitch what??
