Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I just found a mass archive of CDC data through January 28th, 2025. Sometimes resistance means the preservation of something important. The person(s) behind this effort are literal heros.

I’m not reading the news today. However I am reading about Byzantium and it is interesting so far.
It is somewhat comforting to know that Byzantium grew as Rome faded, and it in turn flourished and eventually fell too.
Things change, & things stay the same. Everything starts, & everything ends.

OK, I get it, you all learned cursive and you still have fucked up handwriting. Me too. Deleted.
I still think 1) it’s a useful tool we should teach, 2) that we shouldn’t require signatures as much as we do.
