But if we're talking about "why you should follow me on social media" kinds of things... honestly, I got nothing. I sit in the back of the class and watch and listen and think. And occasionally I say something and sometimes people take notice but really... I'm quiet. And I like that. 😌

A very stark reminder why no one goes out on foot after dark in Churchill, Manitoba. This mom and her cubs came just off the beach and behind the town complex. The Polar Bear Alert staff gently herded them away from town to keep everyone safe. #mammals #BearSeason2025 🌿

Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.

people will always need a sense of purpose and ways to fill their days, a reason to leave the house sometimes and a group of like-minded people you see regularly, but like what if it's planting trees instead of data entry, u know

A friend and I talk a lot about how the beauty of money (small m) is that it allows you to buy your way out of problems. Car broke down? You can afford to fix it.
But it seems with very rich people, the inability for money to "fix" a situation - like mortality - to their liking is THE problem.

Our task is going to continue to be learning to enjoy watching terrible people fight other terrible people without thinking we have to make friends with either of the terrible people.
Some folks are just shitheads, but it's okay to enjoy the brief moments they're focused on punching other shitheads

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Also Mamdani actually talked to actual people in his actual city to figure out what those needs were. Can't help actual people if you only talk to your imaginary friends, SCHUMER.
The thing Mamdani is doing that eludes the Dem leadership:
- Acknowledge the plurarity of people
- Their needs matter
- You'll try to help
As opposed to demanding obedience, silence and to never ask for anything.
