I love surrealist elementary school art so much

Everything about this thread is AMAZING and it is also a brilliant idea. Finding people who need money and helping pay them to solve problems other people can't afford to fix. <3

Years ago I decided that taking one day off after travel to recover, do laundry, etc, was an overall gain in work efficiency for the week following a trip. I highly recommend this strategy! Also I am terrible at actually implementing it and I may need to file a formal complaint against myself.

The movie Brewster’s Millions remains the model for how to spend!

The floodgates are about ready to open here-- BirdCast is predicting hundreds of millions of birds will be moving above the continental US in the next two nights, coming my way. I've already picked up three warbler species on my #TenMinMerlin this week! Gonna see more of that pink-orange soon 🤞

Okay, while I was prepping dinner, thinking about *waves hands* all the things, I made a connection in my head. From the start with Trump, I kept saying "Business will let him run wild for the tax cuts, but they'll put him on a leash if he starts to fuck up the economy. Except...they haven't. c/

Things I keep saying that no one likes.

NYC has fewer pedestrian deaths than LA not just on a per capita basis, but in aggregate.

In 2025,
NYC: 111 deaths
LA: >150 deaths

If i could manage with never driving a car again, I would. And drivers should want that for me. Me not driving is me not contributing to your congestion.

Broad Coalition Files Suit to Stop Latest Unlawful Move in Trump-Vance Administration Crusade Against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Executive Order Targets Essential Federal Contractors with Unconstitutional Threats

My union @uam-umd.bsky.social did such a good job beating our bosses in the statehouse this year that we figured we'd go ahead and beat the White House too.

With allies from across higher ed and the good people at @democracyforward.org we're suing to stop the latest illegal anti-DEI order.

Please give us viable and safe alternatives to driving, we will use them. The congestion is so bad and getting worse because of government policy decisions. One more lane makes traffic worse because of induced demand.
