Oh, I love this.

I've been trying to articulate something similar to this set of ideas about ecosystems and roles people play within our ecosystems. I use some of these ideas in my work with NASA, and also in my work with other communities.

Christ is no longer the center of their Christianity. Today they would aim their hate at Jesus and say he is too woke.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today but banning books is never the answer.

Never once, in history, have the people who were banning or burning books been the good guys.

Never even once.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

DEI policies are there to ensure that merit is the metric used in hiring. In order for that not to be true, white men would have to be the best people for every job.

If it was about "merit", Trump would not be president and most of his cabinet choices would be rejected.

I posted a thread pinned to my page that helps people ween or cut ties with these oligarch run companies for good

I’ve offered alt platforms & resources to do so

I’d appreciate anyone seeing this to take a look, all I ask is share it with someone

We propped them up, we can take them down 💚

The “male at conception” nonsense on the White House official page is SENDING ME.

There is no such thing as “male at conception”—ALL zygotes start out female. That’s why men have nipples.

We look RIDICULOUS to the rest of the world even more than we did before.

America is a laughing stock.

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

Seneca told his friend Lucilius, “You should keep learning…to the end of your life.” The same must be true for us. Let us never stop striving to not only know more, but to become better, wiser, and more virtuous individuals.

I didn’t want to get anyone’s hopes up until I had her in my hands, but look who made it to us after all.

Her new name is going to be Winter, in honor of how frickin’ cold it is, and a reminder that it’s always coldest just before a season of beautiful rebirth.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Fascism thrives on binary thinking—"us vs. them," "superior vs. inferior"—rooted in colonial logic. Decolonization isn’t just undoing systems but dismantling this mindset.

Musk, raised in apartheid South Africa, shows how deeply ingrained these ideas are.
