Math nerd, social justice bard, will talk your ear off about the effects of capitalism in a post-scarcity economy. Not sure what I’ll use this account for yet. Possibly math. You have been warned.

Any pronouns.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

The only downside to WFH I’ve found is that I don’t have the train ride to play Pokémon Go.
I’m actually super extroverted and love talking to other people, but I don’t need to work in the office to do so.

“The more disabled people they try to get rid of, the more they’ll create.” Perfectly said.

Long COVID is just one example.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

We are preparing to release a detailed breakdown of Musk staffers’ incomes by employee.

Musk’s justification is that “the software engineers at DOGE could be earning millions of dollars a year” but are instead earning a small fraction of that as federal employees.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

I checked out an audiobook from one of the apps my library subscribes to, and I unfortunately didn’t vet it in advance.

It’s read by AI, and it’s…absolutely awful as a result.

The first line of the book is “Who’s a good dog?” AI does not know what it is to talk to a good dog. It’s inhuman.

Thing I’ll Miss from WFH #1: Pain-free days

Chronic pain has been my default since I was a child due to a few disabilities. It got worse in my 20s, and I thought it was downhill from there.

Then, to my surprise, I got better.

Why? Because I started working from home.

Highly disappointed that @governor.ca.gov has been intimidated into bringing state workers back into the office almost full time. I can only assume he has been forced to give into threats by the federal government, because RTO has no benefits to him or to the state. I thought he was stronger.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Egg prices are up 53% compared to last year and the spread of bird flu is a major reason why.

How has Trump responded?

By letting DOGE fire thousands of federal employees across the CDC, NIH, FDA, and the USDA who could respond to this outbreak.
