I threw up a little by going down this information path. The Exec Order is shockingly clear.
Authoritarianism happening here - right now. Couldn't be clearer. Trying to undermine the law as a check on their power.
Trump just directed the DOJ to attempt to disbar attorneys who take legal action against the executive branch while also indicating they will do the same to immigration attorneys.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

Do you know anyone who might have written to Joey Smallwood between 1948 and 1951? If so, we might have chosen one of their letters for a book we're working on and we'd love to hear from them.

“It’s too late; we’re already an oligarchy.”

This defeatist mindset is precisely what enabled such governance to take hold unchecked. Resistance is not futile—it is essential.

‘Phonetic’ is not.
‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters.
‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym.

Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

Nice one! All about accessibility and inclusivity…and not being a lazy a$s
Your daily reminder, if you haven’t done it yet, is to be more ACCESSIBLE in your posts by setting the requirement to use ALT text when you post a photo.

1) it allows visually impaired to see your posts
2) it makes your posts better, more well rounded, and offers more ways to add snark

How long does it take to find everyone you want to follow on BlueSky? Asking for a friend.

Great BlueSky intro for us newbies.
Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
