Good night Bluesky.

Together is the only way we build liveable todays and tomorrows.

The only way out is through.

Moreover we must destroy ICE & smash fascism.

We built this *gestures widely* and we can take it apart.

So I guess this is a piece of poetry that lives in my head.
I am so often, as I look at the world in this moment, reminded of this verse from the 5-volume Ming dynasty novel of manners “Plum in the Golden Vase” (trans Roy):

Though the preceding carriages have overturned by the thousands

The carriages that follow continue to overturn in the same way.

A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

There is no point along the chain of command—from then-VADM Bradley down to the crew member triggering the missile—where anyone has any excuse whatsoever for giving or following that order.

Y'all, I just wrote an answer to a question about the sensationalized news headlines circulating about the Chernobyl containment structure.

The bottom line is that there's a hole in the structure, which is not good, but it's not the end of containment, which some reports make it sound like.

🧵
The way this is being reported is extremely irresponsible.

There is a hole in the containment structure, about 10 feet across. No other damage is reported. That hole can allow some of the dusty radioactive material to escape.

That is what "can no longer do its job of containment" means.

This article opens with a 3-year-old forced to represent herself in court. We live in a fundamentally sick country.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Kinda, but it most definitely no longer has an estimated 100 year lifespan to get necessary work done. Which means it’ll need to be replaced much sooner than we’d have liked and it was pulling teeth to get this done.

Wow. This is stunning
'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery

When working or otherwise engrossed is when I usually go longest w/o updating situational awareness (checking news).

Two or more people texting me w/i 5 minutes of each-other can set off this intensifying background anxiety of “oh fuck what have I missed” .

I am aware of notification settings.

The failure of the press to note retail cocaine prices continue their decline under Trump is reminiscent of their failure to note during the occupation of Iraq that insurgent attacks were soaring amid the daily press releases about yet another "senior" insurgent commander being killed.

Part of the reason the state justice apparatus exists in the first place is because while it is very natural for crime victims to want violent revenge that practice doesn’t tend to fuel the survival of stable, equitable societies

some of the best early career scientists doing pandemic prevention work no one else is — defunded, just a couple years after tens of millions died from a pandemic.
I'm devastated by what the field has lost in terms of pandemic prevention research and infrastructure, but even more for the (to date, 60+) PhD students and postdocs on the project, many of whom face an immediate funding cliff at the end of the year. NSF had the funds for them and just didn't pay /3

This is terrifying in a deeply visceral way especially when you remember the whole massive USA military & virtually unrestricted nuclear launch authority.

The ignorance, impulsiveness, pettiness, sycophants, corruption, & court intrigue.
