Leaving Facebook has been a great mental health break. I do still feel like I left my community behind in it, but I know that can’t be at the cost of my own Well being. Maybe I’ll come back one day, but for now I’m content stepping away and saving spoons. Wanted to share ❤️

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation."

Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights
The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.

Pretty close, except no notification of the firecaine because NOAA has been dismantled into a thousand pieces.
It’s 2036: your neuralink chip plays an ad for colloidal silver supplements to fight Horse Flu before pushing you the notification that a fire hurricane could be hitting the United States. You can’t narrow down the impact path until you refill your Trump coin prime wallet.

A reminder Monday that there will be an avalanche of executive orders.
Mass deportations will start.
Meanwhile, the House and Senate will try to ram through a bunch of bad bills.
Do not get lost in a sea of despair.
That is what they want.
Prepare yourselves now.
