In addition to making the world safe for crafting disasters and raging against authoritarianism, I'm also hoping to find new work as a Director of Learning and Content or Learning Strategist.

So I made a portfolio reel. Feel free to share this with contacts who hire Janes.

Learning. Everywhere. All the time.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Why is Peter Thiel so sweaty?

As part of his anti-aging regimen he rubs his entire body with a warm ham every hour on the hour.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social saw an opportunity to make Peacemaker fight actual 2025 Nazis and he took it.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

One suggestion? Fire Steven Miller or we won't open the government.

Congressional Democrats need to go into a room, lock the door, and not come out unit they think of one single, popular ask of Trump that he coudn't possibly agree to without severely damaging himself, as the condition of reopening the government.

Like, there should be a Nobel Prize for show intros and it will just keep being awarded to Peacemaker every single year.

(linking to season 1 but season 2 is just as good and completely different)

Excellent thread of things to do when ICE comes to your neighborhood, from an expert.

Jenn Budd @jennbudd.bsky.social · 6d

When you see deportation forces, follow them, alert everyone you know, honk your horns, yell “ICE” & “Migra” (mee-gra). When they take over an apt building again, neighbors get up, alert, surround them w/so many eyes they can’t move. White Americans up front. 1/

A must read. @kschake.bsky.social is no alarmist and looks at questions analytically, and this is her take of Trump’s speech to the generals and admirals.
