I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:

“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.
As a lefty Tolkein nerd, this makes me rage.

Yes ...the noises...
This descriptive quote from @acitrano.bsky.social says it all.

"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if we took everything that was bad about America, scraped it up off the floor, wrapped it all up in an old hot dog skin, and then taught it to make noises with its face."
This exchange just sucked the calcium from my bones. #BurstsIntoACloudOfDustAndMoths
I have been trying to explain a microfiche machine to one of my dear, brilliant, talented, but clearly too young to be alive collaborators. And it is taking the last of my soul.

“Micro…fish?? I have never heard that word in my life.” I recorded the timestamp so it can be put on my tombstone.
Tolkein would hate these douchebags so much.
He looks older than me and I'm almost 50. Hate eats you up from the inside, y'all.
@jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social What's going on? Let's get on this!!
Like: hey @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social: Why isn't your name on this list signalling your commitment to doing the obviously right thing? Please see if you can get in on it, somehow, now, and also try to get at the forefront of these issues, as well. Thanks.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

10,000%into this idea.
Christmas is coming. Remember how we pressured ABC to put Kimmel back on with our wallets? Well, many of the fascist oligarchs make a lot of money off of us at Christmas time. Maybe this year, we ignore the big stores and buy local, modest gifts. It's not supposed to be about money anyway.
