it's weird to live in a world where a new 'worst thing you've ever imagined' happens at least a few times a month and it's easy to let it all run together and just sort of wash over you and go totally numb to all of it so you don't freak out because you still have to do laundry and go to work.

Putting two grumpy children under 6 to bed is a particular and unique form of terrorism. I would honestly wish this on a lot of people.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Haven’t been able to breathe for two weeks now. Or talk, which has been really fun for an English teacher with the first novel of the year. We’ve been tested for all sorts of things. We wear masks. I just can’t with viruses anymore. The world is unsustainable.

Hello. It is past 5pm eastern time.

It is the time of The Horrors. It is not recommended to be on Bluesky at this time.

Why, you ask? Well, you might find that posts are filled with doom, they are sad, hopeful, terrified and fearful.

This is people Processing The Horrors.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

My kindergartener is having a milestone this week. It’s not losing her first tooth. It’s not counting to 100 for the first time.

It’s her first security lockdown drill.

If you aren’t pissed, you aren’t paying attention. The sickness and rot at the core of this is stunning.

You do! FWIW I would dress a badger up and send it into the protests if it meant they were still taking place. I have two very small kids. I appreciate anyone who can get out there. I can’t.
IJWTS that as an old white woman, I kinda resent the number of people that are trying to say that I don't count. Lord knows, y'all didn't think I counted when I was young. I gotta think that you just don't want to count me.

My dudes, I vote! I donate! And, I promise you, I matter.

My dear,
I can almost smell your cherry pop-tarts in the toaster as I don my camo and black gaiter for another skirmish. The inflatable frog is a relentless foe, but we fight on against his terrible wokeness. If I should die, cradle my broken head on dem fine ass tiddies.

When I taught social studies at catholic school, I went to an absolutely shattering and beautiful weekend retreat to hear holocaust survivors’ stories and learn how to teach about genocide. It was hosted by the ADL. The kindest and most compassionate people I’ve met.
it's so funny that Greenblatt bent over backwards to these people and annihilated his organization's credibility with anyone left of center to get absolutely nothing from the right
FBI Director Kash Patel called the ADL “an extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization,” saying in announcement that the FBI has cut all formal ties with the anti-hate group.

@papayranger.bsky.social favorite Bluesky account by far. Absolute antidote to doomscrolling. Watching the waves right now.

Things I have been able to do in an N95 mask:
-Work
-Build friendships
-Give birth (twice)
-Learn to deadlift 160 lbs
-Get degrees

Things I have not been able to do:
-Eat at buffets
-Avoid being bullied by pretty much everyone I know from every end of the political spectrum

Trade off.

Last year I taught this, probably for the last time (not esp. morbid, just new curriculum). This year I get to live it. Yay.
"The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka is a surreal 1915 novella about Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one morning to find he's transformed into a giant insect. Interpretations vary, but academic discussions have involved its themes of alienation, identity, and dehumanization. #WyrdWednesday

My dearest Tiffani,
As I huddle with these fine, brave boys in our Penske truck, I think of your soft touch, knowing glance, fetching tramp stamp. When we make landing at the Depot, I’ll whisper your name through my camo gaiter and no my love I won’t forget to grab D batteries
