JD, PhD-to-be 🍉

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

It was never about being “pro-life.”

It was always about controlling women.

The GOP attacked Michelle Obama for the very CONCEPT of her plan. She was crucified for daring to suggest that Americans should eat healthier.

Goddammit

Why are we back to gay couples dying in media? Did I miss queer joy? I grew up on “we all die from AIDS” movies, to the point I remember the first movie I saw where everyone lived, but all the trailers are “he died,” or “we’re getting a divorce.” I don’t like it. I wanted more queer joy movies.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Driving to Chicago from Atlanta. Can y’all earmark some infrastructure money for Tennessee’s roads? They haven’t spent a dollar on their roads a day in their life.

Yay, I got a new iPad for Xmas, now begins the three hour process of iCloud verification and hooking it up to my account. This has literally never just worked for me, has it ever worked right for anyone?

The video of the baying mob hunting Jews in the airport in Dagestan is beyond harrowing—an utterly disgusting reminder that anti-Semitism isn’t what you read about in history books, but an ongoing, widespread blight on our collective humanity.

Many of the people calling for Israel to keep bombing Palastine will boycott anyone who puts a menorah on a coffee cup or says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas so maybe don't take that flavor of vigor as anything other than convenient Islamophobia.

If, like the person replying, you're confident that your city will be fine, then call someone you know and trust in the suburbs and offer to babysit while they go to theirs.

I love their art, I’m a Patron!

Many Maui Fire Survivors Are Struggling To Find Aid Even As It Pours In Connectivity improved with the arrival of a pair of Wi-Fi trucks equipped with cell phone charging stations and power was restored for a few thousands people.

If you’re looking for Hawaii/Maui wildfire coverage, Honolulu Civil Beat is a really superb publication.

I would like very much to tell Clarence Thomas to go fly a kite.

Absolutely thrilled to have led the first workshop of the LGBT-variant of #ASIST in the USA with my friend Nikki. This special training creates a safe space for queer people to be ourselves while learning how to help a person with thoughts of suicide.

You'd be forgiven for missing that Sinéad O'Connor passed away as a Muslima named Shuhada' Sadaqat, as almost all posted photos are from before her reverting & there's entire big media obituaries not using her chosen name even once.

Innalillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon, Shuhada'.

NEW: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch is demanding access to information about Mississippi residents who obtain abortions or gender-affirming care in other states.

She and 18 other GOP attorneys general say investigators need access to the information to enforce their states' laws.

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social I know it’s unintentional, but this feels like Apple News being like “no, really, this mfer said that”

Why Threads Won't Solve the News Crisis More than 70 million Twitter refugees flocked to the new app looking for something that won't be there

Kind of dire message from @danpfeiffer.bsky.social today about the effects of social media splintering on how to distribute news. Definitely something for people smarter than me to solve, but accurate communication as a concept is struggling right now.

Shoutout to everyone who still cuts these up before throwing them away because they told us all when we were kids that fish get stuck in them and die…
