In case anyone is wondering, I live in Michigan, have 6 (I know!) cats, 2 kids and 1 husband.

I own KildalServices.com, like to hike and bike and kayak and snowmobile and not vote for fascists.

I also listen to a lot of yacht rock and my favorite band is Rush

@andreapitzer.bsky.social thank you for these words:

“You just have to know what to do yourself… you don’t have to make the national crisis your personal one… figure out what your core values are and don’t trade them away… find ways to act, close to home, that rise out of those values”

Really remarkable how Andrea uses the Klein/Coates conversation to produce so much clarity about the moment we're in.

You don't have to swallow frogs. Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played.

Yes, exactly!
Writing something helps my tiny brain remember it, and I do email the way *so many* people tell me is The Wrong Way: as another To Do list. Gotta do what works or I’m like

This! I’ve tried them all but works is a spreadsheet with tasks to check off and a handwritten To Do list.

I hate making work of tracking the work

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

I feel the same about QBO; been using it forever and it keeps getting so bad that some days it’s basically unusable.

The enshittification of everything lately is exhausting 😕

I've used Xero for 10 years. I'm frustrated as hell that it has so much potential, and yet has so much just plain STUPID.

The support ticket timestamps don't even include the year.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Used to be a week off could help re-regulate the nervous system but I don't think there is anything long enough or calm enough to re-regulate a nervous system of any humans who have an ounce of empathy in America.

6/ Borsook described “paranoid” anti-government rantings and a tech libertarian culture in which the “gestalt is of testosterone-poisoned guys with chips on their shoulders and too much time on their hands.”

And soon, these guys would morph into multi-billionaires...

From Cyberselfish: Although many impor-
tant potential and actual violations of constitutionality and What's
Right are bruited about on alt.cypherpunks with sense and smarts,
the tone is mostly a mixture of the paranoid rantings, reminiscent
of what showed up occasionally in '60s underground newspapers,
plus something new, more desperate and more scary. The gestalt is
of testosterone-poisoned guys with chips on their shoulders and
too much time on their hands.

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"
