Fingers crossed that we’ll still have a functioning society by the time the tour starts

With a patient yesterday, this insight arose: What culture expects and demands of you is in opposition of what actually nurtures humans. Think about that. I don't have a lot of faith in our culture, but I do have faith in the humans I have the privilege of interacting with IRL. This enlivens hope.

Donald Trump wants you to believe he has the powers of a king. Don't believe him, argues Ezra Klein. Listen to this 15 min monologue open.spotify.com/episode/2SIS...

Started my first large project - long dog sampler - ~55,000 stitches. I am excited this commitment. A lovely reminder that progress takes time. Chaos, speed & urgency rarely result in quality or care. I find peace in that as I witness this time we are in. 1 stitch at a time. 1 step at a time.

Recent stitching projects - such joy!

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Hi that was a coup last night in case no one mentioned that to you. The executive branch seized the power of the purse the Constitution gave to Congress, which is a pretty authoritarian / illegal consolidation of powers move. Time to go yell at your reps, the media, etc.

This will be my daily anthem for the next four years. I'm done with the Broligarchs. stand up for the magic makers and the exiled. "Our joy takes nothing from you"

. . . cast their insurrection to conserve racist slavery as a War of Northern Aggression, banned books and vilified voices documenting the truth, built Jim Crow on lies, laws, and lynchings, and hoisted back up their Confederate flags. History can be a blueprint. 2/2

As Trump pardoned almost all of the Jan. 6th insurrectionists, lest we forget that President Andrew Johnson pardoned almost all Confederates. And in due time, they regained power, framed antiracist Reconstruction policies as anti-White. . .1/2

Where to start? Just returned from an epic time in our favorite valley - the skiing was perfect and I found my groove on skate skis. I didn't spend anytime on social media while away and it was a delight. I want more time living in experiences just like this. Feels nice to have a new start
