You’ve got this!

I got that text yesterday. Sending light.

New Jersey doesn’t have great public transportation if you are trying to go somewhere else in NJ. Most is designed to commute to New York and Philly

Here's a sneak preview of "Faculties: A Dialogue on Inciting Constructive Change in Destructive Times," the book Jody Greene and I are publishing in the Fall from @dukepress.bsky.social. From my March 5 keynote @cuny.edu Women's Conference. Comments welcome! cathydavidson.com/blog/ten-mov...

The hero we need in these times.

This creep's entire line of thought here is eugenicist trash. People are PEOPLE. You don't measure their value by energy consumption. They have inherent value as HUMAN BEINGS. A fucking LLM has no inherent human value. You cannot compare them.

Why do I think a new system, with gold branding, is going to be the “ alternative “?

As I’ve always said: billionaires pay tons of money to make you think your vote doesn’t matter. It’s insidious. Be very wary of anyone who tells you elections don’t matter, or that both sides are the same.

Well, I can see why they can’t promise it will reinforce my “inmune” system

Here in Ocean County where the ice boulders have required school to be closed for the second day. My personal excursions have been limited to chasing the dogs off the pool cover. And now, for tea and a good book.

Maine's "Lobster Lady" Virginia Oliver has died at 105 Oliver was a female pioneer in the lobster industry who started hauling traps at the age of eight and worked with her son on the water until she was 103.

I just want to pause for a moment from ICE news to post this obituary. The Lobster Lady, Maine's oldest lobster trapper has died. Ginny Oliver was 105.

This is what secret police do and repressive regimes.

You know who else shot civilians in the street?

Nazis

I have never packed too-few cardigans, but I did forget to pack pants for a conference. Which I discovered when I spilled raspberry iced tea all over my lap while driving there. So my best advice is make sure you have one of everything in the suitcase.

Indeed. Long process, apparently, this round

Currently battling a head cold that wants to move to my chest. Not sure who is winning right now, but today is day 4 of lying still and not flaring my asthma.

Retirement will mean just managing my health without worrying how my cold is affecting those outside my household. Hadn’t thought of that.

My 75yo father doesn’t want to use his computer at all anymore between AI and scams. I think this is a more common feeling than is being recognized.

This ruling is designed to sow more distrust of schools in communities. My stomach hurts thinking about all the young people who will have fewer safe adults in their lives because some homes are not safe spaces for many reasons.

Well, there goes a quiet news Saturday to start the year, I guess. My brain started with three permutations of “next” and it’s an alarming amount of cortisol for the first Saturday of the year.

Sending warm holiday wishes from us and the springer pack! Merry Christmas! 🎄

Every day, a little more light. Sending warmth to those who are feeling the dark. The light comes back.
