The little pocket of aurora I could see tonight. Even with light pollution, I could see this without the aid of a camera

At what point does the New York Times get charged as organizationally conspiring to abet human trafficking of minors.

I’m going to think about watching this moment unfold in real time for a long time.

for all the horrors coming out of Chicago and its metro area, the principled courage of everyday people, in the face of such intimidation, never ceases to astonish. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/12/k...

I think about this all of the time and about every topic.
In general it's useful to think about what the GOP would have done today if the shoe was on the other foot.

And @councilorgreen.bsky.social highlighting the violence underpinning the mayor's "grand plan to end homelessness."

"I reject the idea that violent human displacement is necessary in order to achieve our shared goals."
Yesss @councilormorillo.bsky.social calling out the mayor's lies and manipulation! And living the value that now is ALWAYS the right time "to stop the harm and fund what works."

Epistemic violence against sexual abuse accusers—smearing them as deluded, crazy, or incompetent—is something rapists know works, and they conspire to do it.
Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

I am shooting my shot.

I love writing op-eds.

@teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you.

I expected to find today's testimony infuriating, but not as devastating as I do.

The abhorrent dehumanization of fellow Portlanders is not new, but with this opportunity to provide hope, practical help, and actual housing I guess I was (unduly) optimistic.

The first time a man, a MAN!! tried to talk to me I was 8.

8!!!
Ages 12-17 are the absolute worst. Grown men would see me with my backpack on and still try to talk to me 🤢
The days of being called jail bait <<<<

There was a man in my neighborhood that would ask me if I was 18 yet every time he saw me from age 15 until I actually turned 18

I know it sounds zany , but if we shift to building sustainable care centered practices

A whole bunch of stuff fails

And the fascists lose

Well, that was fun! Taken with iphone, so not the greatest, but I could still see, with the naked eye, the Aurora lights tonight from the rooftop!

Aurora color guide! What creates the different shades?

Different atoms getting "excited" at different altitudes

The bright reds are a sign of a particularly intense event
