"know the worth of my outrage." incredibly helpful framing from @samsanders.bsky.social on this week's vibe check podcast with @zachstafford.bsky.social and @theferocity.bsky.social. highly recommend the whole thing but those first fifteen minutes were perfect for the commute this morning.
!["[I] know the worth of my outrage, and use it with discernment. [my outrage] is like a bank account with money in there that I can spend . . . my outrage is precious and I want to preserve it and use it in the best way I possibly can, know what I'm saying? so I've been finding the voices I trust, the causes I can give money to and support . . . what I can't do for the next four years is to perform outrage against trump every day because I don't have that much outrage in my account, and I want the outrage that I spend to be spent wisely. so that's my vibe right now."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:73snlw6qdooihpj35fl7p6od/bafkreign6lbwozr7opz2pkwzfvhqlunrum44oxouldcxbdkl7mqzjjhb2a@jpeg)

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
