Hi everybody!
I'm Meghan, a disaster researcher working in business resiliency for a large financial firm. Outside of work, I'm active in my community (6th generation in the town), sew and tailor things, and chill with my orange tabbies. I'll research almost anything and make a presentation on it.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

And when you have to parse weird legal texts, to say—well, we only meant some people can be free—you don’t understand the demand of emancipation. None of us are free until we are all free.

Every time a new app or site provides me with a "Wrapped" I think about the somewhat unsung Black woman who created it as part of an unpaid internship.

Thread, long but very worth it.
My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap

Blue Sky doesn’t disappoint.
I’m not watching the game, but I knew immediately wasn’t the first skeet was about before the second one confirmed it. Excellent craftsmanship (the skeet, not the kick).

And a special stray baby at work. He got a little chewed on by a dog, but the dog's human got them separated and brought him to us. He's a sweet little fighter and healing well so far. ❤️ You can't see it here, but he has a honey wrap bc medical grade honey is legitimately great for some things.

For the youngsters, after the Cold War but before 911, the USG considered animal and environmental rights advocates the number one domestic terrorist threat. Federal cops have an ingrained anti left mindset, not just this but built from the historical targeting of POC liberation and anti war folks
#OTD in 2005, the FBI’s fear-inducing roundup of environmental & animal rights activists occurred in the US that chills communities today. no humans or other living things were harmed in the dozens of actions that became the federal conspiracy at the heart of the Green Scare.

oh shit I love this????? I had never heard this story!
as always with wild saint lore, I’m just as interested in WHY certain legends stick. there’s something really moving in the idea of centuries of Catholics repeating and repeating a story where Mary’s miracle was saving two men from homophobes

tumblr just brought this to my attention (i have discovered the queer leftist catholic corner of tumblr and it is a delight), and i want to make sure @clairewillett.bsky.social knows about it too:
The Madonna di Montevergine, mother of LGBTQ Catholics
For queer Catholics, this icon of Mary is a reminder that her loving care and protection extends to all her children.

Our second owner surrender in one week, this beautiful, soft and fluffy boy is named Moon. He was too overwhelmed by six! Small children! in his last home and wasn’t getting enough stimulation, and has grown up as an only kitten so is now a teen with some misplaced rough play behaviors with the kids
