Artsy-craftsy. Angsty. Assonant. Obsessed with old stuff and weird stuff and kids’ books. She/her.
“Oohhh, I hope my greedy sister isn’t watching!” This Albuquerque episode of Antiques Roadshow is just right.

A reminder to take what you’re learning now about how vulnerable people are targeted by government and remember that they remain vulnerable under ANY administration. We need real reform and legal protections.

Same with “TDR.”
Everyone now and again I will see someone use the phrase "woke mind virus" seriously and I will wonder what it is like to be them, and to have a head full of rancid pudding where a brain is meant to be

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

Is this great? Is this what you want our country to be?

Because if it is, God help you when someone who hates you takes power.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

You know what the “paid agitators” insanity reminds me of? The part in Pride & Prejudice when Mr. Collins can’t believe someone like Lizzy won’t accept his proposal. Oh no, it is simply “the usual practice of elegant females” to increase his “suspense.” Her bafflement and frustration is REAL —> 1/2

Yes to this. It's great to go TO the library, or it's great to find books, audiobooks, magazines, newspapers (sigh, if you must), shows, music, and movies VIA the library with Libby, Hoopla, Kanopy, PressReader, etc. <3
You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today?

Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is.

They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring.

So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

Yeah, you’re probably right, PNM. It’s not because of record-low temps—it’s my burner size. Sorry about that!

Yes to this 🧵
We evolved emotions for good reason, and they serve a rational purpose.
One of the things that I’ve repeatedly talked about in the past is this divorcing of emotions from logic. The idea that logic means “devoid of emotion” is a prevalent myth, especially in the tech scene.

In part, I think early character development of Spock led to this idea becoming mainstream. 🧵
