For over 98% of our existence, humans lived, loved, created, and remembered—without leaving behind a single written word.
My latest post begins to explore the world of "prehistory" and how we know so much about it.

RFK said something horrific about autistic people yesterday—painting them as incapable of work, relationships, creativity, or even basic independence. I'm not going to post the full quote, but it was vile.
This isn’t just ignorant. It’s dangerous. ⬇️

“Our intervention will only be a temporary roadblock unless you, the people, rise.”
They think we’ll sit back and take it. That we’ll let them burn everything down while we whisper our outrage in private.
Enough.
The system is breaking. If we don’t act now, we may never get the chance. Rise.

Next step: a restraining order
Next step: a restraining order
Federal judge in D.C. says she's concerned the White House is still implementing the spending freeze that's blocked by court order.
DOJ: Who? Us guyz? Not really!
Judge Loren AliKhan sees what they're up to and says she'll issue a restraining order shortly.

I have sent a letter to my state representatives asking them to pass a law disallowing companies from operating in the state where C-Suite executives are waging war on the Constitution, punishable by civil forfeiture of company property.
![Dear Representative Feret,
I am a constituent from [REDACTED]
At this moment, our federal constitution is in crisis. Elon Musk-an unelected, unappointed, unconfirmed individual, in charge of a "department" that has no Congressional authority-has sent teenagers into OPM to download American's private, personal data in violation of the law and the Constitution. He has claimed the right to veto government spending approved by Congress-a power deemed illegal by the Supreme Court when exercised by the President, let alone a non-governmental official.
I cannot emphasize enough that if this is allowed to continue, we lose our constitutional democracy. Elon Musk does not have the power of the purse. Elon Musk has not had constitutional authority delegated to him in any official capacity. Elon Musk is exercising authority that does not belong to him. Authoritarian overreach must be stopped immediately, before it gains a foothold.
I know as a state representative, there are many things you cannot do. But it is not nothing.
I am asking you to take action to preserve our democracy and our Constitution by sponsoring and passing State laws that hold that companies with executives in the C-suite engaging in open violation of the laws and Constitution of the United States lack authority to operate in Colorado and any property in the state is subject to civil forfeiture upon suit by the Colorado Attorney General.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:s5fi6htc7xhnshxxn37dg65c/bafkreib2bskhlea7eqojnbsw67pejm666gjdc72muwclpdnzspb2lrx6zq@jpeg)

Heads up everyone - this means they hate how well the blocklists work, which is amazing. But also time to be discerning about which lists you subscribe to.
This is the next phase that Kiwi Farms members have stated they will do - constructing look-alike blocklists and then adding popular trans people to them after the fact, once the blocklist is seeded in the community. Make sure any block list you use says who runs it.
Do you know who is running this list? Reason for asking is they copied this account's lists verbatim, but do not say who is running their account.

Wellness tip: If your life feels overwhelming, ignore it for a little while and escape into a good book. Therapy is great (go to therapy), but sometimes, a fictional world is the reset button your brain needs. Bonus points if there’s a hot mess of a protagonist making your own chaos look tame.

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations).
Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members.
I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.

In comparison, a similar bill was brought up before the House earlier this year. There was much less organizing against it and it got further then.
Today’s vote was a very different story. The attention + organizing played a role.
If you can thank your rep for voting NO, please do so. It matters.
