Seeing a lot of old and new friends here on Bluesky, so here's my intro / catch-up post:
- I now live in suburban MD just outside DC
- I design CRM/AMS databases & lead the teams that build them
- I'm a single mom supporting one of my children through a cancer relapse

waiting for my TV show based on Leia: Princess of Alderan by Claudia Gray where Leia and Amylin Holdo become besties while doing mountain climbing and light rebellion work, would watch 15 seasons
On the anniversary of the release of Star Wars: Lavender Menace, the world is still waiting on the extensive backstory, rise to power, and romantic comedy adventures of high femme Amylin Holdo.

Curzon is missing. I let him out back to do his business and he just disappeared. I've looked and I haven't found them. Anybody if you're in the Potomac/ Bethesda area please keep an eye out.

I am 100% opposed to these laws because in all cases they are used to pressure disabled people to die. Because that's cheaper than providing the supports they need to live. It happens in Canada with MAID, it happens in Oregon, it will happen in Illinois.

ngl: I am very satisfied with our corporate landlords, and would put my renting situation up against the median ownership situation of my friends/colleagues any day
#Hottake: the "satisfied renter" is one of the most underrepresented voices in the discourse (along with the "Normie Democrat")
Okay let me phrase it this way:
We all consume housing. The question is simply how we pay for it, and there are a ton of complicated inputs into that for any particular consumer.
But unlike almost any other consumption good, housing has gotten moralized in a socially destructive way.

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.
This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

I take *extreme* exception to the notion these loosened criteria have fueled RFK’s ilk. Wakefield’s infamous paper predates these moves by almost two *decades*, and the anti-vax movement has ebbed and flowed for *centuries*. You can’t take the words of liars here and lay blame at diagnostic criteria
This is worth a read. As noted, the large rises in people being diagnosed with ADHD, Autism etc are fuelling conspiracists: 'something must be "damaging" our kids'...
No, the prevalence of symptoms in populations is stable over time. It's just being recognised now.
