I am a physics student, just shooting for the moon and hoping I hit the stars (not mars). I love reading and writing as a passion (not just a hobby) and would love to publish someday. I love my husband who is actually the coolest teacher in the world.

Don't mess with the weird city unless you want to make the resistance iconic. Just sayin'.

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

A poster in green ink on off white paper. In the center is a woodcut style illustration of a protester wearing an inflatable frog costume standing up against two ICE agents. The text above and below reads:

VIVE LA

I love my city we're so weird here that after months of protests across various cities across the US, what my city does becomes instantly iconic

Let's pull together guys. The bigots are out on force. As Cesar Chavez said, "True pride cannot be shamed" so let's remind them who we are and not let them tell us who we are. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

it just feels like.

But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?

Today is World Homeless Day, and after years reporting on this crisis, I'll just say: homelessness is neither inevitable nor intractable. It's the result of choices—political, economic, moral—that can be unmade.

And this: how we treat the unhoused is a bellwether for the violence we will tolerate.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

Normally, when I ask my husband (who has been educated on history and economics like crazy) whether X Y Z is bad and should I pay attention he says: nah, people make a big deal but blah blah blah.
I just asked him about everyone saying the AI bubble will pop and he pulled our a binder and pen.... 😰

Is this the first time tax dollars have been used not to bail out banks, corporations, or the economy, but to bail out policy?
