I'm me everywhere because I'm not very original.
Sometimes I make things. Mostly I buy supplies to make things, & then don't make the things.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment?

How you doing today? You okay? It was a rough one for a lot of us. There's nothing wrong with you if you're anxious, angry, depressed, or just confused. There's no reason you should be good at this. This is not in any way normal or acceptable.
Be as kind to yourself as you can

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

Law enforcement could always arrest agents breaking the law and the 4th amendment.
Law enforcement and legal experts warn if more agents barge into homes, everyone could be put at greater risk.

Derry (a cat) wandered into the bathroom and hopped up on the toilet seat while I was spraying my hair with water to scrunch it. And he legit looked at me like, "OMG what is wrong with you," and I realized that to a cat this must look like self-harm?

I'm used to 4-5 hours of sleep during the week, but it doesn't usually go that way on the weekends.

If the Trump regime finds that they can get away with executing opponents in the streets, then they will make summary executions routine. There are no moral or ethical guardrails left in the executive branch.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

They only get involved because someone is paying them, so they assume *other* people would only get involved because someone is also paying them.

Actually, it predates Putin. Most fascists have sought to portray themselves as the voice of the common people whom elitist politicians disdain.
MAGA has simply taken it to a social media-driven new level of delusion, believing that everyone supports them and any evidence against this is a lie.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

We are objectively in a fascist authoritarian moment here in this country.
Academics and historians have established indicators for this. We are well over the line on many of them.
