It’s a beautiful sunny Sunday and we’re taking down the tree but leaving up all the lights because SAD. Twinkle lights have helped me through winter for a long time now. There will be reading and journaling and dancing. Interspersed with angry outbursts ((ha)) because obviously… this world… #cat

Exactly this.
Overthrowing the government of Iran and installing the shah led to the Iranian revolution and the Ayatollah. Funding the Mujahideen in Afghanistan led to the taliban and Al queda. These unlawful actions could have destabilizing consequences for decades and this will haunt the US for generations.

Good things yesterday that felt like optimistic omens of sorts: 1) the dropping of the Jack Smith deposition; 2) the osu loss (sorry not sorry); 3) the beauty of the Stranger Things finale and how the entire series was about overcoming trauma through witness, community, and love.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

This year has sucked. But bits of sanity, as always, came from this cat and art. A few easy ones off the top of my head:
My favorite pop song this year: Where is my husband, Raye
My favorite book: Loving Sylvia Plath, Emily Van Duyne
Fave TV: Stranger Things (OF COURSE)
Movie: Sinners

What if the mystery song in the last Stranger Things is Radio Ga Ga? Look at the lyrics (if you're into this). Side note: they didn't say it was a song that had never been in a movie but a song from an artist from whom it's difficult to get permission. #strangerthings #cat

Thanks for sharing this document, @rweingarten.bsky.social.
I read it, and I believe it's inexcusably inadequate and will not prepare teachers or schools to confront the very real dangers of the "A.i." products pushed by your partners, including OpenAI.
A few thoughts for your consideration...

I woke up angry today for every child and woman who has had to suffer the anger and violence of the m3n in their lives, from families to the larger systems. I’m sick of it all. So here’s Daisy. We weren’t sure she’d live through summer and then she got better. 🎄🥰🎄 #caturday

EXTRA angry about everything today but I taught my last class of the year and I’M OFFICIALLY ON BREAK. 🎄🎄🎄 a bunch of regulars showed up whom I adore so this was a perfect way to end my teaching year. 🥰

8 years ago. Innocent of what was to come. Before a handful of psychopathic putrid beings started stealing our life energy and ruining anything beautiful and good that they can get their hands on. Yep, I’m a little bitter.

Don't get it twisted. Those close-up Vanity Fair photos aren't mean. They're art. Hate corrodes the container it's carried in. Exposing evil and invoking a response is art.

I never knew the depths of hate I was capable of feeling... and I hate them even more for showing me that.
