I’m a working mom. I’m so busy I really shouldn’t be taking the time to scroll on Bluesky. But here I am, seeking solace and community in light of the recent election.

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.
I  know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu
Harvard University
Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

If the senate passes the SAVEs Act, you should not take your spouses last name? If you are married, you either need a passport, or go back to the name on your birth certificate. Am I reading that right?

I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

For the lecture on ocean circulation, I show my students this sea surface temperature simulation from NOAA/GFDL, where scientists were fired recently.

You see the major surface current systems, like the Agulhas current, Brazil current, Gulf Stream, Pacific Equatorial current, and Kuroshio current.

They inherited an economy on the mend & they proceeded to muck with it anyway. Think about it…they would rather destroy everything, than see us with anything.

If we can’t recall Trump and Vance, can we recall our senators and congressmen?

Sinead O’Conner’s song Drink Before The War has always stuck with me. She was a profound lyricist.

My husband asked me why I was doomscrolling. I told him it wasn’t doomscrolling, I was hope scrolling.

No one is talking about any of this at work, so this is my way of knowing that there are intelligent, passionate people that enraged and moved and it is encouraging.

My son was putting a puzzle together at school. He was totally into it. In 2024 I would have gone to Target and let him buy a couple of puzzles. But in 2025, I just can’t fathom spending money on a luxury like a puzzle.

We were finally to a place where we could do a major house renovation and travel…

I don’t see a remodel happening now or maybe ever.

And the only countries we will be able to visit, will be Russia or Hungary😔

What changes to 2025 and beyond plans have you made?

Both my boys picked out pink toothbrushes from the dentist. I guess that means they like the color pink.
