I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Kinda sucks how one day you’ll post stuff like “does the Grinch use the toilet?” and then the next it has to be “I reject those who worship death”

FYI, on the Minneapolis shooting video: Bluesky hasn't taken it down. It's been labeled as "graphic media" so that people can avoid it if they choose.

You can change your personal settings on whether you see media labeled as graphic (or whether it appears with a warning) here: bsky.app/moderation
Are people unable to watch this now bc it's been tagged as graphic media? Because this is newsworthy and important and that seems like a problem to me.

Can we be swallowed by a black hole yet?
Oz: "Alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together. In the best case scenario, I don't think you should drink alcohol, but it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize and there's probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way."

mood was indeed bossted

Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen beaver feet up close! I’m amazed and a little freaked out about how close they resemble human fingers
I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras.

Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom.

They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water.

Encouraging to read on this last day of such a fucked up year
Facing a new year, I found this @dansinker.com post from February — about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails — to be a welcome read.

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive.

One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy.

Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

This is lovely
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I had a coworker ask for help reviewing a change in policy she edited with the help of AI (imagine using AI to change wording on a policy that is a few paragraphs long) and I absolutely refused to even open the document to read it, didn’t even respond to the email.
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Incredible words.

Kindness and empathy aren’t weaknesses, they are strengths. 300,000 years of human evolution hinge on our caring about and protecting one another. Hold onto it. Never let them make you forget it.

I watched Leave the World Behind. Whether it could really happen or not it was enough for me to think about what control was accessible to one human with the worst intentions.
