I’m a postproduction sound specialist and composer-musician. Im also really into history and science as well as objective, verifiable reality.
Oddly, I listen to a ton of audiobooks that have zero to do with reality.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Hi Heather,
I absolutely LOVE your work! I’m reaching out today because I think there was an error in the poll numbers you mentioned in Letters from an American today. You said “Just 73% of American adults approve of his performance in office.” 73% approval seems too high.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.
Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.
Say equity, which a just society should pursue.
Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Trump’s CDC cuts ties with WHO under a new executive order, halting crucial global health efforts like flu vaccine prep and outbreak response. Cutting off collaboration weakens global safety and opens the door for others, like China, to step in. This move endangers us all.

Today I lost the home I grew up in due to the Eaton Fire in Altadena.
My grandmother’s home along with many of my friends’ childhood homes and the grade schools I attended were also lost.
I see many trying to make this political.
It isn’t.
It is all about global warming though.

Musk is trying to do in Scotland an Germany what he’s done in the US by dumping hundreds of millions of $$ into their election to promote the authoritarian/fascist ultra right.

The accusations against Liz Cheney are baseless. Persuading a witness to testify truthfully is not a crime. The point is to intimidate and chill free speech. I wish all politicians had Cheney’s courage to speak truth to power.
