The generational wealth I want to leave behind is a well cared for Earth and the material realization of the truth that there is an abundance to tend to our needs because systems organized around greed would have been abolished.

The federal government is best understood as a giant risk mitigation bulwark for risks too big for any state: self-defense, health safety nets, natural disaster relief, maintenance of vital infrastructure, nuclear material handling, etc.

You want this shit to be there when you need it.
Now Musk has sent Booger, Broccoli Rob and Big Balls to the NOAA, in order to be sure us freeloaders stop getting all those free warnings about hurricanes and stuff.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

I wasn't tracking this case about police brutality that went before SCOTUS on Wednesday. But thankfully @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social was.

Folks, these kind of standards are WHY police brutality is allowed to exist, and SCOTUS is likely about to make it worse.

I have two degrees in astrophysics and going to Mars isn’t gonna save us

Wherever we go, we will be there. Until we change the structures that govern how we operate, we will have a problem.

The pain itself is not beautiful, it’s what the pain births that creates the cause for rejoicing.

It feels so good to notice that I have arrived to a season of life where the process is the joy. The effect has been that when I create or play at life, judgement surfaces less and less.

I wrote this cause imma need to remember it when the coming frustrations do its work.

My nesting partner said to me this morning as I was in a more quiet and reflective space “I’m sorry my mood doesn’t match yours” and I gave them a puzzled look. I replied “I don’t need our moods to match- my mood will shift many times today” - I was touched b/c the comment was from a caring place.

I think it’s my turn to have a challenging retrograde season. . . There is some lesson(s) trying to come through.

I’m slowing. I’m listening. I’m learning. I’m releasing. I’m opening. I’m waiting.
