went to cancel this week's therapy because I just *can't*right now and my therapist already cancelled. #winning

another two car rides today

The Interior Department, now effectively controlled by Elon Musk’s staffer Tyler Hassen, is moving to scale back at least six national monuments.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

For Autism Acceptance Month, I would like to accept this autism on behalf of my body, from which I was so disconnected for years because its sensitivities and discomforts were inconvenient & had no explanation before I was diagnosed. We were right: the noises were too loud & the shirt was scratchy.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

I went on two car rides yesterday and think I've figured out part of why everyone sucks at driving these days 👀👀👀

cars, especially new cars, have incredibly high CO2 concentrations, even when they are not recirculating the air!

got a reply that the hr@opm.gov inbox is full so we can't send in our 5 things. hilarious. keep it going??

@brontyman.bsky.social

It's really dystopian to see how digitizing everything, which was supposed to keep records safe, is instead being used to quickly purge information. We should have known I guess, but cripes.

"My name is ___ and I am a constituent of ____, living in ____; I'm very alarmed at all of these reports I'm reading in Reuters about Elon Musk seizing unilateral control of the OMB and GSA without any legal authority to do so, and I am VERY concerned that [Rep/Senator/etc.] is not acting or aware"

the soul of the kid who wanted to die a martyr for her faith has been touched.
I don't want this to be the next cause I lay down my life, but just because I can get out, what about everyone else who has to stay

text about removing pronouns from everywhere on government systems

this sucks. this should not be happening. there's a team meeting next week and I think I'm going to say something to everyone about how it's our responsibility to stand up for others, regardless of what the administration says.
