National parks across the U.S. are not immune to the Trump administration’s cuts through Musk-led DOGE.

North Carolina is seeing the impact.

Amongst all of the state's national parks, at least 23 park rangers have been laid off, including six in the Outer Banks.

Forced sterilization of disabled people isn't a relic of the past
In most states, eugenics-era laws still let doctors sterilize disabled patients—even against their will.

If you haaaaaaate what’s happening to our country, make sure you’re telling the right people! The pressure on Congress must remain as intense as possible, today and every day. So summon your inner “Call House Madam,” and… call the House, Madam! ✨☎️✨

I know cruelty is the point but… man this one is just especially ghoulish. They say they’re doing this to “protect the kids” but it’s always been so painfully obvious what the truth is. The want trans kids to die, to disappear, to be erased.

This is one of my favorite books! I also would love to know how to become a tea monk
“A Psalm for the Wild-Built” by Becky Chambers is such a perfect portrait of burnout and the intense longing for purpose and intention we all struggle to understand. so many meaningful conversations that I’ll be thinking about for a long time… • #booksky #scifi
