Speaker Johnson, you say you’re a man of God and I believed you. You put your hand on the Bible, you swore an oath- now keep your word to God and country and swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social, the Democrat from my home state of Arizona!

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

In related news, it will be nice to eat food again someday without it making me physically ill.

It's fascinating (by which I mean awful) to observe the effect that ambient stress has on the body.

Made my calls to senators and reps today to point out that healthcare for trans people is not an acceptable sacrifice. You can too.

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.

However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.

I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here.

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around!

1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video"
2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

I want to note, because the initial article doesn't make this clear, that the professor being taped in the video is calm, clear, and patient with the student. Furthermore, the professor appears to be teaching absolutely basic medically accepted science & history of gender expression.

Dan Hirschman @asociologist.bsky.social · Sep 9

Texas A&M’s President just removed a dean and department head from their positions after they supported a professor whose lesson on gender was challenged by a student. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum

The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

Video from Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison X acct. Student secretly records her convo with the prof.

"I'm not entirely sure this is legal to be teaching. ...according to our president, um, there's only two genders. ...I don't want to promote something that is, um, against our president's laws."

How to record ICE:

1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE.
2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video.
3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS
4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How?
5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.

What professional historians never tell you, perhaps because they have become used to it, is how much of learning history involves profound grief.

Not just in the way you expect: atrocities, war, plagues

But over and over again, the anguish at lost potential better futures/versions of our present.

Jessica Price @delafina777.bsky.social · Jul 30

Never forgive men for treating programming as a meaningless thing your secretary did while women were inventing and developing the field, then, once they realized it was going to be important, shoving women out of it and claiming only Male Logic Brains could perform it.

Dr. Cat Hicks @grimalkina.bsky.social · Jul 29

Gaslight of the century that we made programming totally inaccessible to huge portions of the population and now we're told that the reason is programming can only emerge from the innate genius of the brilliant few
