I got a very affordable nearly new washable rug from a person who was just looking to offload it quickly. It is too large for my space, but I was grateful to have it in a room where my cat spent most of his time. Well, I just washed it, and boy let me tell you what, I sure hate the thing now.

Hey, Idaho! This will be important to look to as Meta finishes building a 1 million square foot data center in Kuna, Idaho. Are you okay with poisoning the land and water for Facebook?
Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water.
What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains.
And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

I grew up in a severe sect of SBC, and thinness was absolutely moralized. Shame was a powerful tool to control girls and women. I developed an eating disorder (extreme restriction and binging, with purging through extreme exercise). It is hard to resist oppressive authority when you are starving.
“Fascist ideologies…tend to paint an idealised vision of the human body and women's bodies in particular are seen as vessels for producing the next generation of ‘pure’ and strong children. With the rise of far-right movements, we also see a return of narrow-minded beauty ideals and body shaming.”
Fascists want you to starve, by the way. Images like the one I’ve shared on my page help them. This is part of the propaganda.
And that set is no exception.

'Kay, Idaho! Alicia is on the case! Eyes on this space.
No seats left at the criminal hearing for the town hall this morning. The KCRCC showed up for this one.
Today we’ll be hearing a motion to dismiss from the defendants (LEAR security guards). The judge has also handed out jury instructions in the event that the case moves forward. #idpol

a movie that takes place where I'm from
The Lost Boys was filmed in Santa Cruz and Capitola (the scene of the boys hanging from the train trestle is the very one that I grew up walking across over Soquel Creek), so even if they made up a different place name it is still my home.

It's difficult managing open sub periods because of the prevalence of AI slop—it's depressing! While it is a bit different in the world of fiction (for one, I have to worry a lot less about these types of made up quotes), I extend my sympathy to every managing editor. 💜 It's tough out there.

I got this pillow today, and I tested it out laying on my back, and every vertebrae in my neck popped and my sternum cracked super hard. My head now has stopped hurting for the first time in over a week, so I feel like the purchase was worth it even if it doesn't work every again, lol.
Bit the bullet and ordered two sizes of tempurpedic pillow. Please pray for me that one of them works for my stupid EDS neck (which I now know is the reason my entire scalp is going numb). 🙏

A comprehensive rundown of the #COP30 shenanigans from @roycerk2.bsky.social. From what I saw, the Colombians were the only ones whose negotiators and civil society groups were on the same page, and they carried the whole world on their shoulders.

While I definitely do not put the song “Free Will” by Rush at the same level as Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” I will note that the same people that appropriate Cohen into Christian contexts love that Rush song and clearly do not understand it either.

Important to keep an eye on this space and check with your state legislation. Our libraries are going to need our continued support!
It's not just laws about books that are breaking libraries. Several states have passed property tax reforms–or are in the process of passing them–that are dismantling, destroying, and defunding these public institutions of democracy.

It's Not Just Laws About Books Breaking Libraries. It's Also New Tax Reforms.
Two states have passed property tax cuts that are directly impacting public libraries. Expect to see this happen more.
