My 30-pound dog has delusions of grandeur and thinks she can take on a four-point buck. Luckily the fence is doing its job and the buck has no shits to give.

All these people avoiding m-dashes because β€œAI uses them” simply means that there’s more for me!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I’ll wait, no problem, if it means we save health care. (Very aware that I’m lucky to have the freedom/ability to wait, while others don’t.)

Caught in the government shutdown mess waiting for a flight at the lovely Burbank, CA, airport, where there are currently no air traffic controllers.

The right has built a social architecture of state-enforced harassment for implementing ideological and social control through participatory engagement and bottom-up escalation of individual’s grievances via personal media creation and sharing (cf trading up the media chain)

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state.

But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed.

D.C. statehood now.

People posting about how they’ve never seen em dashes used before the rise of ChatGPT are really great at telling folks they’ve never read a book before.

We are seeing in real time why DC needs the full power and protection of statehood.

Deploying the National Guard to a state without a request from state leaders is unlawful.

The fact that he could do it in the capital city is a massive vulnerability to our entire national democracy.

I grew up in DC saying β€œy’all.” At some point during my moves to Boston and California and the cultural changes that meant, I switched to β€œyou guys.” Switching back feels right for so many reasons. Y’all should try it out.

There are many, many important reasons to use alt text, one of them being that my aging eyes can’t see the teeny text from that screenshot you posted.

🧡In 2018 the Senate Intelligence Committee asked me to field a team and analyze a data set that social media platforms had turned over: several hundred gigs of data chronicling a multi-year effort to divide American society *and* interfere in an American election
