You were always one of my fav Twitter posters and I’m just so glad you’re here and filling my feed (as infuriating as the topics might be). Just an appreciation comment.

JOIN US, PALS! After a busy winter and spring of one-off community building classes, I’m switching it up for the summer. I’m launching a seven week cohort for folks who are currently part of a community project that they’re trying to keep humming (maybe as a leader, maybe as a participant).

Flyer with people dancing (an old WPA picture from Pie Town, New Mexico. They look like they’re having a blast). The text reads “how to build a community that survives and thrives. A Barnraisers Projecr summer cohort for tired but big-hearted connectors. Free. Virtual. Good vibes (with your help). Seven weeks of sessions (an hour and a half a week). June 16-July 31.

My coworker at a fed institute was told to destroy or payback a $50 thank you gift of a box of pears because it was over our allowed gift level.

Manager is watching.

My cat is perched on a wood beam up near the ceiling of the house and behind me, sternly supervising me while I work (and make this post).

A group of Missoulians, many of us strangers to one another at the start, organized a Public Lands/Land Stewards rally that an estimated 1,100 Montanans attended today. We can make a better world.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor.

The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes!

This is the power of representation.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research

President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

I think if you don't want to buy things from major retailers today or any day that is great, and I would also love for everyone to remember that successful movements usually need to involve labor, and to start thinking of yourself as a worker first and a consumer second

1. Protests are happening literally every day these days. Trans rights protests. Protests against Musk. Heck, over a thousand people showed up for a protest at the Treasury.

I advise everyone, especially people who don't usually, to find any of them and just go to one.

It's important.

I've never seen it stated so plainly: Joyce can imagine herself as an author whose book event is disrupted by protestors so she opposes the protest.

Can you imagine yourself as a fired federal worker or deported immigrant? Wouldn't you want people to take drastic measures on your behalf?

it's true that I tend to support bookstores & book people. I know what it's like to plan for a book evening, arrange chairs, hope for a good turnout. how dismaying it must have been for many when, outside the store, protesters caused a commotion as the event began.
