Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫
For scale
Well this is a highlight for me. I was tracking it off and on all day and finally it flew over. NERDING OUT. #meteorology
The cognitive dissonance here is truly incredible.
If Christian Nationalist parents are allowed to have their kids opt-out of any books that dare mention anyone gay, then all the other parents should be allowed to let their kids opt-out from the Ten Commandments.
Had the immense joy of watching this spin up outside of Colorado Springs yesterday. It lasted around 5 minutes and shifted size and shape before dissolving. #meteorology
This is just the cutest sticker that came with my Dubia order!
I needed to pick up Tamiflu for my kid today. With insurance, the pharmacy charges $165. With GoodRx they charge $30. I’m really mad about it.
When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.
When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️
What in the actual AI bullshit propaganda is this? 🤢
From our magazine: “Seeing my teenage daughter, Ruby, stand up in her church and claim her space as a proud trans woman was one of the most joyous days of my life. ... I saw my daughter, once a shy child who hid behind my legs, blossom that day.”

Can’t wait until there’s a hurricane and we can blame NOAA, NWS, AND FEMA at the same time 😅
Knowledge is power…
ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF.

It. Is. A. Coup. And I can’t make people care about it - so what is it going to take?!
I work with geographic data every day - it’s important to me to be to be as detail-oriented as possible. So know it is no accident when I call it the Gulf of Mexico. I’m being detail oriented.
thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight
Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.
My partner doesn’t understand why women are worried about losing the right to vote, work, and have bank accounts. In his mind these can never change. He looked at me like I was nuts. Meanwhile, every woman I know has a plan, a backup plan, and feels somewhat trapped. How do we make them understand??
I firmly believe we’re in the middle of a coup. And now that media in the White House is being replaced with EXTREMELY right leaning views, it’s more important than ever to follow international news sources and journalists you trust. For me currently, that’s Al Jazeera, BBC, and Univisión Noticias.
The Pentagon is doubling the number of media outlets losing their workspaces.
OUT: The New York Times, The Washington Post, NBC, CNN,
Politico, The Hill, The War Zone, and NPR.
IN: New York Post, The Washington Examiner, OANN, Newsmax, The Free Press, The Daily Caller, and Breitbart.
Now more than ever.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Me: **reads the news**
Love this journey.
The irony that the government wants to use my money to buy TikTok for American security, while concurrently stealing all my personal data and doing who knows what with it.
Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.
