I invite you to pause, gaze, and enjoy a moment of meditation from nature itself. With alt tags, too. If this abstract photography moves you, let’s talk! I love placing my art out in the world, raising our collective vibrations one flower at a time. 🌸🌿

I would hope that the above-average-smart people here could understand that nothing is all good or all bad. Everything functions in a context.

Focus on excess, people, and please stop all the nitpicking. Mostly though, get exclusive control of AI out of the hands of the tech bros. That’s my hill.
Think we can call this experiment done
*One trait of BlueSky is antagonism to AI. You will be dragged for saying its good and mostly supported for saying its bad.

Even faint night lights can negatively affect #sleep. Light passes through our translucent eyelids, sending wakey wakey signals to the brain. New research links light at night to poorer heart health, suggesting a link between the light, poor sleep, and the ultimate #health effects.

Thank you to my Senator for being in the anti-Schumer, anti-Gillibrand Fight Club. @heinrich.senate.gov
Schumer & Gillibrand facing mutiny from Dems over their outdated “corporate-friendly” playbook, refusal to back Zohran, etc.

Long overdue. @schumer.senate.gov

Please call. For BIA, press 2 for Media Relations. You will likely get voice mail. For the White House, stay on the line; you will have an option to leave a voicemail by pressing 1.
Friends, help protect Chaco Canyon! Here’s what you can do:

- Call your members of Congress and urge them to sign onto the Chaco Cultural Heritage Area Protection Act!
- Call the Department of the Interior at 202-208-3100 and the White House at 202-456-1111 and tell them to protect Chaco Canyon!

I'm sure he was as truthful with Scherer as he was with Senator Cassidy, his wife, his former wife, the wife before that, the environmentalists he used to join in warning about climate change, etc.

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store.

If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

it is extremely funny that given the PPP of the dollar relative to other currencies X's payments to bluechecks have essentially made every foreign influence operation targeting MAGA from a country with a weaker currency self-funding or profitable

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

I’ve seen a few people on #BookSky asking for HOLIDAY BOOK recommendations. How about if we start a thread? No judgment about what you pick. It’s not like Die Hard. If you tell us it’s a holiday book in your mind, it’s legit. Helpful if you give title, author, and maybe genre. Self promo is OK. 📚💙

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
