The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Hallmark friends: If you buy a month or two of the streaming app Hallmark+, you can get your entire holiday fix even if you’re a cord-cutter. This year I highly recommend MERRY CHRISTMAS, TED COOPER! which is very sweet and quite funny.

Politicians know if you want to “steal” an election, you don’t do it by tampering with the ballot box or recruiting fake voters. Doesn’t work. You do it by discouraging and intimidating voters into staying home. Please fight for fair access to the voting booth.

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?”
No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.
From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.
Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

This is why I’m voting to keep @sarah4burien.bsky.social and Hugo Garcia on Burien city council. I 100% trust them to do the right thing here.
We know what works, and it’s the opposite of this.
This agenda can’t be enacted without the cooperation and compliance of local counties and cities.
It is your responsibility to either make sure your mayors and councilmembers oppose this, or work to replace them with people who will.

I live next to two duplexes and it never occurred to me that it could be damaging my health. I sometimes have to toss a soccer ball back over the fence but that’s about as bad as it gets and they always say thank you.
