Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

The most revolutionary thing you can do is to become a slightly better version of who you already are.
Let's worry about all the other stuff once you've really nailed that first one.

@maryharris.bsky.social Thank you for the #WhatsNext episode today. It reignited the anger I felt during the Act10 episode here in WI, and reminded me of the importance of protest (even when such efforts “seem” to fail). Sorry to hear about your spouse’s job. #Solidarity

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

🚨 Elon Musk is trying to buy another election. The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is just over a month away, and Musk will spend over half a million dollars to support a MAGA extremist who wants to enforce a 175-year-old abortion ban.
We can't match Musk's money but we have the power of the people. 🧵

Cyndi Lauper playing in the background as I’m sitting in a coffee shop, watching people go about their daily lives. Everything seems completely normal. And me? I’m trying to figure out how to strike the balance between “staying informed” and being “perpetually anxious.”
