I've been thinking about what I want this space to be and I think it's just going to be whatever my AuDHD brain produces. I might talk about knitting, gardening, farming, personal life struggles, having, books I'm reading or whatever. So buckle up if you are following along here.
I have been using 5 calls to reach out to elected officials. It's a great tool to help stay abrest of what issues need urgent attention.

4. Call your reps in Congress every single day. 202-224-3121. 5 min. Every day. Make a habit of it. Call @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and let them know they are failing the American people. We are begging for a party to vote for and Dems refuse to give it to us.

An update on the TikTok situation from our monitoring on Reddit. Now you get TOS'ed for saying negative comments about meta and Zuckerberg, left-wing politics get flagged as misinformation, and you can't tag #fucktrump #fuckelon or #fuckmeta but you CAN tag #fuckbiden and #fuckkamala

As 2025 begins, so does the year’s first full moon, which also marks the last of four consecutive supermoons, according to NASA. Known as the “wolf moon,” it gets its name from the idea that wolves howl during January’s long, cold nights.

Two new litters of baby bunnies around here. Both does are doing great. We actually evened out the numbers because Cheesecake seems to make a ton of milk and she had the smaller litter. Her babies always look fit to bursting!

So there might be a decided lack of cats on Bluesky. So respond with a cat picture, yours or someone else's. That way we can have cats and existential dread!

I am at 144 books read for this year! I just finished re-reading Trapped by Kevin Hearne on my Iron Druid re-read. I'm also reading The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher.

I'm taking guesses on how many books I'll finish before 2025. I'm also taking suggestions on books I need to read!

@parkroseperma.bsky.social made this excellent video about post election boundaries and why a lot of us aren't feeling like giving time and access to people who voted against our interests.

I live on land that belongs to the dxʷsəq̓ʷəbš (Suquamish). It is good to take a moment and reflect, as white people, on our role as colonizers and the atrocities left in our wake. It makes me feel small and powerless, but it also makes me want to do better and give back more than I take.
Long before colonial ships landed on our country’s shores, there were Native Americans - living full lives and caring for the earth's gifts so that future generations could thrive. We have always been here. We always will be. Happy Native American Heritage Day, everyone!

Phew! It's been a long morning of cooking and baking. Now comes the car ride and then to enjoy the fruits of our labors with family. May you all get to enjoy a moment of respite and give gratitude!

Autism isn’t a disease or an epidemic. It’s not something to fear or to prevent.

If “combating autism” seems like a worthy political goal to you, you’re either a eugenicist, or you’ve been deceived by eugenicists. #Autistic

They'll be coming for LGBTQIA and BIPOC charities if this passes, saying they fun ANTIFA or some nonsense. Write and call to stop it before it can start.

BREAKING: The U.S. House just passed a bill that could devastate nonprofits, chill free speech, and hand Trump unchecked power.

Why H.R. 9495 is a disaster waiting to happen and why the U.S. Senate must reject it. ⬇️

I had a moment of existential dread yesterday after I heard an updated report on transmission of bird flu to humans and a possible human to human transfer. I shut down for a few minutes because my brain couldn't handle the idea of another pandemic under Trump with RFK as his side kick. 😱

Lesson 8, On Tyranny: "Stand out. Someone has to. It is easy to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom...the moment you set an example, the spell of status quo is broken and others will follow." - Timothy D. Snyder

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies.

Anyone wanting justice for Matt Gaetz should make a call and ask for report to be released. The public and the senators approving his appointment should know just what a horrible POS he is for trafficking teenagers.

Chair: Michael Guest, MS
David P. Joyce, OH
John H. Rutherford, FL
Andrew R. Garbarino, NY
Michelle Fischbach, MN

(D)

Deborah K. Ross, NC
Glenn F. Ivey, MD

Call them. Make your voices heard.

I'm really enjoying Bluesky so far. I like seeing my friends on my feed and all these people talking about what video games they love and hobbies they have. It's very hygge.

I am the moon

I reflect light that is shone on me, and that light changes to a different tone.

I am happy because you smile at me.
I am comfortable because you let me lean on you.
I am safe because you give me places to be.
I am smart because you inspire me.

I am better with you beside me.
