If I manage to keep any kind of hope over the next 3 years, it will be because of @adapalmer.bsky.social. "Inventing the Renaissance" is, perhaps, the most mind-bending book I've read since Godel, Escher, Bach and SO optimistic. You must read it!

I knew fascism would suck, but I underestimated how fucking stupid it would be.

That therapist has, absolutely, the right to espouse her batshit theories. And we need to be absolutely certain that anyone upon whom she inflicts her theories, absolutely, has the right to walk out.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Tonight I learned that one of my heroes has died. I loved her and colleagues' "adventures" as a child and grew up to admire her scientific work for so many reasons. RIP Jane Goodall.

Fuck those guys anyway. This was only corrected because of its notoriety. Those mega-media giants are absolutely not serving their local audiences. ...and they are getting away with it

I have a serious question: what will make the eventual criminal prosecution of members of this administration look different than the current weaponization of the legal system? "Yes, but we're right" won't be enough.

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured
