Tonight they believed me, and apparently I've **really** gone soft

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

@prisonculture.bsky.social speaks of this from time to time of the collective unprocessed grief of the U.S. and how ultimately that spiritually disfigures and warps us as a society.

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

You're laughing? Trump is actually Just Stopping Oil and you're laughing?

windows pcs are generally for casual users who mostly use it for web browsing and maybe a little gaming. linux is nearly identical except there's no keyboard. macs are for hardcore experts and professionals who take on the toughest tasks, such as drawing three-dimensional rectangles and squares

yeah Bluesky is primarily a Tumblric language
Putting this in the faculty meeting toolkit -- but in the opposite frame...."we can't do it? Or *you* can't do it?"
Anyway, thanks genAI slop, I guess? Because I hate you so much I'm now doing art myself for the first time in ages and it turns out I'm better at it than I remembered. bsky.app/profile/skwi...
This is a chat box where you can try to yell at your paper until it is written.
"Trump is using all the instruments: quotas for ICE arrests; paramilitary force of thugs drunk on their own brutality; spectacle of random violence; postmortem vilification of victims. Our brains struggle to find logic. This logic has a name. It’s called state terror
