you know you don’t have to call HR 1 the “big beautiful bill” right? you know that by doing so you’re carrying water for fascists, right, even though you’re trying to be ironic or w/e you’re doing the fascists a real solid? Just checking.

In a day of hot takes I guess mine is that we should still let ourselves eat a hot dog and watch some fireworks tomorrow. Conservatives don’t deserve a monopoly on patriotism, we love this place too, which is why we want it to be better despite all their efforts

In times like these I like to watch old footage of queer pride and protests during the height of the AIDS crisis. Back then the world seemed just as bleak and as dark as it does now, queers were dying left and right with no one to protect them. And yet in the face of that their protest was joy

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.

Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Got a gallbladder scan today and was allowed to listen to a podcast during it; chose the early eps of Dear Hank and John and it was surreal hearing John read “I go down to the shore” while being put into the scanning machine thing @hankgreen.bsky.social @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

want to be excruciatingly clear about this: TikTok didn't have to go dark last night and it didn't have to turn back on this morning.

both of those were voluntary moves that the law does not directly touch.

Going to try to use this platform more for what are probably obvious reasons. Not sure what I want this account to be. Probably just going to be the same mix of science, lesbianism, and pop culture that it was on the other app. We’ll see!
