Anyone in the Bluesky universe familiar with #immigration from the US to the UK? 🇬🇧 What do we need to consider? We are looking at this move for my PhD and to protect our neurodivergent kids and the quality of their education.

I appreciate how @apnews.com is handling the “Gulf of America” change. The US is not the entire world- global orgs need to care for this by geography.

I swear, I think the President believes if he says something often enough then it’ll just become true.
All 50 states moved towards the Republican Party? WTFE. 🙄
Hey Trumpie, your government has hired REMOTE WORKERS for years, so they don’t have an office to show up to.

Love that the Trump Administration so quickly entered their “FAFO Era.” Now we need to focus our fire and fury on the DEI EO ridiculousness and Kennedy. #ThisIsAmerica #USPolitics

To friends and connections who are transgender or non-binary: I see you, respect you, & stand with you. No matter what rhetoric may arise as a result of the First Felon’s inaugural speech, your identity is valid, and your existence is undeniable. You have an ally in me. #ThisIsAmerica #PeopleFirst

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Calling it like I see it: the #TikTok “fake outage” is some weak-sauce ish. This was a clear manipulation by their CEO to make the incoming First Felon look like a hero. They turned the lights out early when there was already a stay, there was no need for that show. I’m not interested in going back.

Today is the first #inaugurationday where I have no sense of hope for this country. I do not despair, but I hold no hope this administration is looking to bring people together, to bring harmony, or peace. It doesn’t even look like they will competently govern, but in that I do want to be wrong.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

My youngest bonus son turns 18 in 14.5 days. Typically, that’s a “yay, you’re a young ADULT” celebration day, joke that it’s officially old enough to gamble and that’s about it.

For over a YEAR, I’ve been trying to figure out how I wanted to spend a substantial credit balance I had with Vivian Xue and Pamper Nail Gallery (I can’t grow nails, so I use their awesome press-on #nailART). I’m torn between something celebrating my 2nd Masters or a #Wicked set. #DeepThoughts

How anyone from the US Government could argue social media services need to be banned to protect “national security” given how a) the incoming POTUS uses a SM platform and b) Musk’s action and behavior. #TikTok

File this under: why I’m staying home today. We didn’t get stranded (my husband was turning into the side entrance for our neighborhood), but watched 2 police officers help push a car out of the bank. 3rd one we saw this AM while taking the kids to/from speech. Fireplace day it is. #StLouis #SnowDay

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

Having had a hysterectomy over 20 years, I’ve got a “RV” but still- the negative impacts associated with requiring #healthcare decisions for a woman to ALSO address the needs of men (& others) for my daughters are something I’ll fight against. You should, too. legiscan.com/US/text/HR7/... #politics

Took a practice GMAT just to see where I was at before studying. Fell asleep in the middle of the third section (micro sleep) and so ended it early, but still scored 615. I don’t have a reference of if that’s good or not?
And is that even relevant if I decide to do my PhD in the UK? 🇬🇧 #PhDlife

So this is how my husband and I are spending our early morning. Candlelight, a fire, watching Severance, made some meat, bread & cheese. He likes the cured meats, I’m all about chicken. Together, it works... just like us. 💗 #dclovestory

There isn't a baby I've held in my arms, or a tot I've sat with at bedtime, to whom I haven't sung Peter, Paul, and Mary songs.
Without crying? Well, no, I'm not a miracle-worker here.
Thank you for the beautiful music, Peter Yarrow.
