I’m planning a HUGE party at work, and I hope to see you there! 💘

I know everything feels scary and overwhelming. It’s even more terrifying for young people. I want to create a space where people can be in community, have fun, and remember the horrors, we will still dance, gather, and have fun. 🪩🤠

I think it’s funny when people say, " You can’t take stuff with you! You don’t need stuff.” To be fair, overconsumption is very bad.

But I hope I will be the talk of the town after my estate sale. I hope people enjoy the hell out of my stuff.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

To truly appreciate how far rape kits have come, it’s important to understand not just the anti-rape movement of the 1970s but also the brutal pre-history of the modern evidence exam.

Water is becoming a major issue in the Southern California fires.

As crews battled the wildfire in Pacific Palisades, they put so much strain on the water system that the fire hydrants ran dry.

The fires have also fed ash into the water supply, leading to a boil order notice.

In Connecticut, tow companies can sell people’s cars after 15 days. For low-income residents, the consequences can extend far beyond the cost of the car.

I really do believe AI is inherently fascist. Both the resources it takes to generate and the soullessness of its output render it entirely irredeemable, but it also hollows out any meaning we can get from communication and art and reduces human life to an aesthetic it wears like a skinsuit.

It's easy to despair. 2024 was a tough year, and 2025 will be tough too. But last year ended with historic Amazon, Starbucks, and rent strikes. These get less attention than elections, but this wave of class warfare has the potential to change history.
