THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

And while you’re at it, DELETE AND CANCEL SPOTIFY!

I did it a while ago so I don’t remember exacts, but don’t just download the app - go to their website and delete your account.

sometimes you just need a day to be a hermit who plays video games and ignores everything else

The answer to a lot of things in this world is “Go watch One Piece.”

feels worth a reminder that Duo has also started branching into music lessons

This may seem silly, but in high school I was annoyed tv wouldn’t show the Sailor Moon Stars season because the boy band turns into girls to fight alongside Sailor Moon. Now I know actual trans people and can’t fathom why anyone thinks they should be treated differently. They’re people!

Yes, they did, and Cabrillo responded in the best possible way, calling it out and withdrawing from Meta advertising entirely. I spent over a decade as Cabrillo's principal viola, and if you're looking for an arts org to throw a donation to in these impossible times, they're a gem.

The planet Jupiter with its cloud bands seen in shades of pink, rusty red, blue, and purple. The Great Red Spot is a deep navy blue, surrounded by bands and swirls of pink, and light blue.

Hubble's ultraviolet view of Jupiter shows the planet in hues of pink and blue.

Left way too early for student’s lesson today and am now awkwardly sitting in a parking lot because it would be even more awkward to sit in front of their house this long.

Infuriating!

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities.

They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

It should be way harder to keep a driver’s license than it is now.

If you have paid subscriptions on Substack, you are asking your readers to take a portion of their money to fund racist, antisemitic, and anti-trans speech.

Substack takes ten percent of people’s revenue and then gives it to people like Bari Weiss who said Nazi salutes aren’t really Nazi salutes.

Confirmed again today on different streets.

Would it make you feel better that I know that song and think I’m younger than you, so you would not be the youngest person alive to know that song?

Based on my short drive on Wilshire today, all Tesla drivers think they’re above traffic laws. 🙄

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

If you still have friends/family who think this administration will help them, talk to them about money....

I don’t have the funds to move out of the country, but HYPOTHETICALLY, where in the world could a freelance musician go and still be able to live that’s not going to succumb to climate change in the next 20 years? Must allow cats to come with.

For the millionth time: STOP USING SPOTIFY!

blocking everyone who calls the Kennedy center thing “a distraction.”

If you can’t realize that this kind of thing impacts real people’s lives as much as anything else going on, like I don’t even know what to say.

My rent’s going up in April because the property got reassessed and the property tax went up 300%, so fuck all the way off, property tax assessor.
