So, what's everyone doing tonight instead of watching a criminal madman air personal grievances and try to tell you that your reality isn't real?

Tell Your Senators: Vote NO on Voter Suppression | Indivisible

Ways to get civically engaged instead of watching That Man lie on national television for an hour:

1️⃣ Check in on your neighbors and help them with shoveling
2️⃣ Contact your Senators and ask them to oppose the SAVE Act
3️⃣ Tune into @moveon.org and @meidastouch.com's People’s State of the Union

In: Loving each other

Out: Bro’ing out in locker rooms

Orange watercolor of abstract shape outlined in black ink - text reads, “an eternal flame”

The utterance of "A.I.'s inevitability" is one of the most stark pure performatives I've seen in my time working in higher ed. Every time it is uttered, it is clearly not reporting a fact about the world but instead actively trying to create the reality it narrates. We can and must refuse.

Stunning!!!

I prefer this Troy McClure.

In: Looking away from figure skating because you’re afraid they’ll fall

Out: Whatever other people do

In: Being a good friend

Out: Beginning your fundraising text, “Friends,”

The generic white bro-ness of it all. Is that new world order we requested here yet?

2025 sucked in so many ways… *and*, I can’t remember a better Christmas-to-New Years stretch than this one. I’ve felt suspended in a beautiful place of anticipation and savoring the birth of the new. I’m almost sad for it to be over tomorrow…

If you live in DC and are active on normie social media sites, you should be flooding the zone with videos of boring peaceful life in the city.

I feel like we can cool it already with the advice to “do the thing that scares you,” because living in America right now is some John Carpenter-level shit.

This is what democracy feels like.

My grandmother was a young pregnant Jewish woman alone on a train in Poland during WWII when a German soldier told her to get off at the next stop because there wouldn't be any soldiers waiting at the station. She survived because, in that moment, a soldier chose the right thing over obeying orders.

Love these so much.

And also the dog is a cat 😞
