Motto for today 🌸🌸🌸

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out

Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades

I'm already laden with the background anxiety of having ADHD. My nervous system is on high alert nonstop anyway.

Still, that said, my rules of engagement with this administration will be: No.

They're won't on it, calm down. 😆

I'm afraid to open the door to duck husbandry, for fear of it overtaking my life. But they're so delightful, even when they're scary af.

Hiii using this new photo from my collection to sneak in a non-cat message:

I’m seeing a lot of vile language being used against sex workers right now because of the rise in porn bots. The problem here is BOTS, not sex workers. 🧵

Y'all are doing a great job. It's the last I can do to block the bots while you ready between waves.

Tim Walz just capped prescription copays for Minnesotans at $25. In case Donold wants suggestions for his “concepts of a plan.”

Today's afternoon adulting is filling out my advance health care directive wishes. The hardest part is finding sufficiently binding legal language to forbid my mother from ever making any decisions on my behalf.

Oh wow, hope the people staying there are able to go someplace warm.

I am in advertising-adjacent field, and the work climate is similarly in disarray. And even at the micro-level of my work teams, there's a lot of hand-wringing about uncertainty. I can handle uncertainty, but I don't tolerate helplessness well.

Defiantly

There's also the extra stress of return to office today for a lot of workers who were enjoying WFH arrangements.

Sounds like the reverse frustration for then the little old ladies are chatting with cashiers or writing out checks by hand.

Birds have significantly better eyesight than us so while you think you’re birdwatching they’re really watching you

In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding.

This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

Preserving my comment from another thread about coasting the disabled in our lives and work. From crafting policy to designing and building real world experiences, we will all eventually need accessibility and accommodation.
