Dark mornings make waking hard, but mornings are now naturally brightening! Meanwhile, evenings have been brightening for about a month. Daylight Saving Time is not needed!

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 21727899:
You need to care about what you write. Don't justify hack writing by telling yourself: "But the readers will love it." They won't. Readers can forgive bad writing, but never cynical writing.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Dude, I’m so sick of the number of death stares I get. I have a child in kindergarten. Even with masks, there continues to be an uncomfortable amt of green snot in my home. I looked at one guy today and was about to ask how much he wanted to spend NYE hack coughing because that’s what I could offer.
In 2026 let’s normalize masking for public health.

If we could admit that with healthcare being gutted, vaccine access restricted and previously eradicated diseases coming back… having an extra layer like a respirator makes good sense.

Let’s also normalize not mocking people who mask!

The year is 2382. All physical and digital media was lost in a great cataclysm that humanity has gradually rebuilt itself from. The village gathers for festivities and drinks. A travelling musician plays a song passed down in folk tradition for centuries. It is called the YMCA. Everyone joins in

it's weird to live in a world where a new 'worst thing you've ever imagined' happens at least a few times a month and it's easy to let it all run together and just sort of wash over you and go totally numb to all of it so you don't freak out because you still have to do laundry and go to work.

Putting two grumpy children under 6 to bed is a particular and unique form of terrorism. I would honestly wish this on a lot of people.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Haven’t been able to breathe for two weeks now. Or talk, which has been really fun for an English teacher with the first novel of the year. We’ve been tested for all sorts of things. We wear masks. I just can’t with viruses anymore. The world is unsustainable.

Hello. It is past 5pm eastern time.

It is the time of The Horrors. It is not recommended to be on Bluesky at this time.

Why, you ask? Well, you might find that posts are filled with doom, they are sad, hopeful, terrified and fearful.

This is people Processing The Horrors.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

My kindergartener is having a milestone this week. It’s not losing her first tooth. It’s not counting to 100 for the first time.

It’s her first security lockdown drill.

If you aren’t pissed, you aren’t paying attention. The sickness and rot at the core of this is stunning.

You do! FWIW I would dress a badger up and send it into the protests if it meant they were still taking place. I have two very small kids. I appreciate anyone who can get out there. I can’t.
IJWTS that as an old white woman, I kinda resent the number of people that are trying to say that I don't count. Lord knows, y'all didn't think I counted when I was young. I gotta think that you just don't want to count me.

My dudes, I vote! I donate! And, I promise you, I matter.

My dear,
I can almost smell your cherry pop-tarts in the toaster as I don my camo and black gaiter for another skirmish. The inflatable frog is a relentless foe, but we fight on against his terrible wokeness. If I should die, cradle my broken head on dem fine ass tiddies.
