My favorite anti-war poem. Proceed with caution: it’s brutal (though not as brutal as armed conflict.)

Dulce et Decorum Est
By Wilfred Owen (WWI)
Recited by Christopher Eccleston

🗣️ You don’t have to be an expert. You don’t have to say it just right. You just have to speak up.

I wrote this guide to help people—especially those who have never done this before—contact their senators.

If stopping at a stop sign is an example of everyday ABA, what’s my operational goal, who’s collecting data on my discrete trials, and where are the thousands of M&Ms I’m owed for decades of lawful driving?

unstrangemind.com/if-thats-aba...
A red octagonal stop sign modified to include ABA data tracking. Below the large white word “STOP,” a data panel displays a behavioral goal: “Given an intersection with a stop sign, the driver will stop for at least 4 seconds in 3 consecutive sessions.” A trial chart shows six entries marked with plus and minus signs, and a small line graph displays a rising trend in correct responses. The sign mimics a discrete trial data sheet embedded into a traffic sign.

Trump’s “one big beautiful bill” strips courts of power to enforce orders. No oversight. No limits. He could defy the law—and stay in power forever.

See the alt text for more details.
Contact your senators: They are the last defense against dictatorship, but only if we convince them to vote “NO!”
Bold red square image with large white text at the top reading “KING OF AMERICA?” and bright yellow text below reading “NO! ACT NOW!” Buried inside Trump’s “one big beautiful bill” is a provision that would strip federal courts of their power to enforce their own rulings. “No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given…” What does that mean? It means if Trump or his allies defy a federal court order, nothing happens. The courts will have no teeth. No enforcement. Just empty words. As Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky warns: “Without the contempt power, judicial orders are meaningless… There is no way to understand this except as a way to keep the Trump administration from being restrained when it violates the Constitution or otherwise breaks the law.” This is Trump’s Enabling Act—his legal mechanism to dismantle checks and balances and rule without restraint. This is what Hitler did in 1933: passed a law that looked procedural but gave him total power and neutered opposition. This bill would do the same. No meaningful oversight. No court enforcement. No limits on executive power. If it passes, Trump could write an executive order eliminating term limits—and there would be no court able to stop him. He already has loyalists in the military. The rest would be left to resist as insurgents in their own country. This is what Trump meant when he said, “you’ll never have to vote again.” This is the end of democracy. CALL your Senators NOW. Tell them to vote NO on the so-called “beautiful bill.” There is nothing beautiful about authoritarianism.

I’m now offering custom bracelets: your choice of word(s), your choice of color(s).

www.etsy.com/listing/4307...
Three rainbow-colored loom band bracelets on a wrist, each with white letter beads spelling a word or phrase. The left bracelet says “RISE UP,” the middle one says “RESIST,” and the right one says “UNITE.” The background is black sand with soft, wavy ridges. Two loom band bracelets on a wrist, one white and one black. The white bracelet has black-lettered beads spelling “AGAPE,” and the black bracelet has the same style of beads spelling “THELEMA.” The background is softly blurred in warm brown tones.

So many people wanted to attend Obama’s first inauguration that the DC subway couldn’t handle the crowds.

Did people yell? Trample one another? No. They sang.

It’s good to see a former president using his platform for good. Obama calls for universities (and individual citizens) to resist intimidation and oppression and continue to choose what is right and good.

I’m far from a fan of April Fools Day. I really liked the ideas Dots and Lines shared.
dotsandlines.bsky.social Dots and Lines @dotsandlines.bsky.social · Apr 1
A lot of April Fools' Day "jokes" have never actually been funny, and these days, too many real events seem unreal, so it's hard to come up with a decent April Fools' joke.

For ideas for funny, harmless jokes that aren't too close to reality, I highly recommend this video: youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?...

won’t somebody think of the childrennnn
4 panel comic Panel 1: A dad and his child watch a kids tv show featuring a big cuddly bear and a small cute dog (who is eating a pizza) Bear, gesturing to dog, says: This is Spot. They like pizza a lot. Panel 2: Dad, immediately incandescent with rage shouts: “They” Oh my God what the hell is this?? In a kids show??” Panel 3: Dad, now ascending on a wave of frothy fury points to his child and yells: This is gonna confuse you!! You won’t learn!! You’re gonna need therapy!! Panel 4: Therapist’s office. A therapist makes notes. The child, now an adult, lies on a couch and says: …And my dad would just start screaming at cartoons…

An excellent seven minute video essay from two years ago about the history of the word “woke” and an examination of the history and current events of racist white people intentionally using Black language, including the word “woke” as weapons of oppression.

This is an excellent critique of “client resistance” in a therapeutic relationship. I would like my next therapist to read it and discuss it with me. (I have iatrogenic damage from past therapy and am challenged with respect to executive function.)
