I have not loved our gov like I loved him as AG but he does not mess around with the nonsense out of the White House and I appreciate that so much.

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.

Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.

A little profanity can show that you're being real and you do give a damn.

all this frog talk makes me curious about absurd acts of resistance in the past. not just your becketts and ionescos, but the kind of citizen silliness that fucks up the narrative.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

I have a couple of extra Figma Design + FigJam seats that I paid for until March 2026. I’d like to give them away to those who need it the most, such as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color creators, recent graduates, immigrants, or individuals working on social justice campaigns.

Breakdown:
• 2 Design seats — full design access (Figma Design editor).
• 0 Dev Mode seats — no developer-mode licenses.
• 2 FigJam seats — collaborative whiteboard access.

The latest layoffs have me thinking about this episode of CANNED. This gov employee talks about how destructive the layoffs are to essentials systems. It's not a simple reboot because critical pieces are broken or missing as a result of poor planning and haphazard cuts.
