1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

I take my coffee like I take my books: shamelessly purchased for enough happy brain tingles to drag me through another day even though I already have plenty at home

Watching someone google something less efficiently than you is one of life’s worst unskippable ads

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

With the Summer '25 release hitting pre-release orgs today, I'm back on the social media circus, ready to share some of the stuff we've been cooking over on the Salesforce Automation team. *cracks knuckles*

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts.

This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state.

The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin.

This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

Trans rights are human rights.

As the co-chair of the Trans Equality Task Force in the @equality.house.gov, I will stand with our trans communities every single day, regardless of the attacks leveled by the Trump administration. #TDOV

Live your life such that angry mobs don't want to burn down your theoretical car dealerships.
