Reproduction of excerpt from Timothy Snyder's book ON TYRANNY: "1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

So it’s the clams fault???

Worth the watch?

That's a space on the Hawaii Bingo Card

Once lived in a house with intercoms. Was a great way of extending normal parent/kid stuff like asking for a snack only to be told to go get it myself but like a mission to the moon

About 3 and a half months. Here’s the original

This is a pohaku kuʻi ʻai that I just finished. It is the tool used in Hawaiian culture to poi taro corm into poi. I used only stone on stone method including using sandstone to finish.

Had to take time off the socials cuz can't handle seeing Lahaina. My heart is broken.
Glad to see @axelbeers.bsky.social doing well and working for the people

Please don’t come.

Cancel your trip and donate the money to the Hawaii Community Foundation Maui Strong Fund instead.

Maui's new billionaire land owner Jeff Bezos donated $100M toward fire relief efforts.

That is about .06% of his net worth.

.06% of the median income of a household of 4 on Maui is ~$66.

.06% of the median net worth of a US resident is ~$76.

This pic hits different after watching Guardians 3

Furthermore, NO DOE officials are saying anything about how our lack of school shootings is probably due to our now ruled unconstitutional strict gun laws. Now idiots wanna carry their guns everywhere! Even the beach!

In the past few weeks there have been a number of front page articles about some group assessing Hawaii schools' preparedness and now the DOE is rushing to buy bulletproof classroom doors.
It's also fueling a lot of racial based stereotypes of "where students FEEL safe" speculation with no action

Thanks! I'll check it out!

Please give yourself some grace! You're doing your best!

ALL OF THIS AS I MAKE BREAKFAST FOR THOSE INGRATES!!!

As a teacher, I hate how we still sell those personality tests as valid assessments for students to make long term decisions on.
MB tells you how you're feeling right now, in this context. Maybe at school you're introverted? But what about at work? With your friends? Doing your passion?

YOU MONSTERS

Reservation Dogs is back!

Today is Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea.
We commemorate the restoration of Sovereignty from the UK in 1843 after their illegal occupation and hope for a similar restoration in the future.
Yesterday we gathered at Thomas Square, raised the Hae Hawaiʻi, honored past and present heroes, and just had good time

Mad respect for the nannies!

Unacceptable! I don't get paid nearly as much as a nanny!

Let's play another round of "Shit I found washing my kids clothes!"

Everyone welcome @axelbeers.bsky.social to Bluesky!

Or you can get down with the sickness?

Does anyone else feel like that "Fast Car" cover is White Supremacy incarnate?

Just me...?
