Having a real bio here made me sad. I did things in places.

Forever Wolfgang's rocketlauncher.
Today was a lot. New entertainment is canceled and I'm just going to watch Orphan Black all the way through so I can pretend Tatiana Maslany is the only person who exists.

lemme just go pack for the nursing home now. 😩😭
this week I was walking an undergrad RA through digitizing a bunch of pdf directories, sort of like the Yellow Pages for a specific industry, and halfway through student hits me with “… I’m sorry professor, but what are yellow pages?” 😭
My favorite piece of content today.

it's great how much of our interaction with AI is just figuring out how to make it go away.
Oh wait! Figured out how to get rid of the garbage Gemini button in Chrome:

- Right-click
- Unpin

Gone!

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

In honor of Link, who was banned for the crime of speaking truth to power, I am continuing Fund Me Friday in his stead. The last two Fridays have been delayed due to life stuff, but today I am back on the ball.

Post your mutual aid in this thread and I will retweet as long as I am able.

The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza.

The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.

Oswalt's post was definitely more violent than Link's, but there's a bigger difference I can't quite put my finger on

The man is not that charismatic… there has got to be a way to stop people from fellating him

Glad you’re speaking on this today. It seems a lot of people think we at least have one piece of paper confirming we were adopted. Nope. Literally nothing.
Unlike your cabbage patch doll, I didn't come with adoption papers. No adoptee does. In fact, all we're given is nothing but a new birth certificate that falsely lists our adopters as our "parents of live birth". You think we're given some sort of adoption file when we're 18?

Think again.🧵

BlueSky is a site that enables people with power who have done *real world harm* while silencing people without power who express frustration in the form of dark humor.

As always when it seems we end up with a day full of predator discourse, my thoughts are with victims and survivors everywhere. We all deserve better.

Schumer reached out to leading presidential contenders to try and mute criticism of the deal, calling Josh Shapiro, Andy Beshear, JB Pritzker, and Gavin Newsom.

While Schumer voted against it, the eight Dems behind the shutdown deal said the minority leader was aware of their plan. trib.al/lcNlGik

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

one bright spot I'm so proud of my play cousin for the volunteer program she just started. she took in a lot of advice and was able to make some great choices to set things up for success.

there's a potentially huge thing happening with my work and I cannot take this one more thing with massive ramifications that I can't actually do anything about 😩

This is also why setting up a recurring donation is so valuable, if you can swing it. Knowing that they'll get even $5 consistently each month REALLY increases how much food they can provide.
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

I found a receipt (of course) and an unopened lip balm.
Happy “finding things in your winter coat pocket” day to all who celebrate.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

JUST IN: Democrats have swept the 3 supreme court elections in Pennsylvania.

They beat back a concerted GOP effort to erase their majority; instead, they'll keep a 5-2 edge on this very important court.

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani.

Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money.

That is how we win.
