i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.

House Republicans passed the single largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in the HISTORY of our country.
The GOP tax bill would deliver the largest cut to Medicaid and SNAP EVER.

The 1st thing I had to see was Mindie Lind & @thecinechick.bsky.social's "View From the Floor," the most delightful 6 mins you could spend at Sundance. The animated short (in the Doc Shorts program) is a tantalizing taste of a feature in the works for nearly a decade moveablefest.com/megan-griffi...
Interview: Megan Griffiths and Mindie Lind on "View From the Floor"
The co-directors discuss finding the right approach for this charming personal tale about a disillusioning visit to "The Maury Povich Show."
