I lost my dog last August and it was an absolute gut punch. Attended an adoption event last week “just for fun” with no expectations and this very sweet female dog ran away from the group of people straight towards me.

She had actually already been adopted 30 minutes before. So I simply enjoyed the time petting dogs and told myself if it was truly meant to be, she’d come back. ANYWAYS, SHE IS BEING RETURNED BY HER ADOPTER!! Meant to be?!?!

First, he threatens to take Greenland by force, now he is threatening to tariff anyone who stands in his way. First, he claimed tariffs were a way to fix the so-called trade imbalance. Now he’s openly using them to bully the free world.

My old boss said the company wanted me back. That he had an edict from the CEO and CRO to get me back any way possible. So I sent a proposed offer. What I got back - “Same title, same pay, remote work but zero protections”. You want a top performer back and offer zero incentives for him to do so?!

The fact that my mom still supports Drump while being married to a husband who was sexually assaulted multiple times as a child blows my mind. A cult if a hell of a thing.

ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes. Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

Gotta admit "the font is DEI" is a stage of absurdity I could not have predicted

Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

“Non-serif fonts are woke”. This is literally the dumbest fucking timeline.

This week I share an anniversary with thousands of strangers. My mom died of Covid five yrs ago today; hers was one of 9,744 such deaths that week. That we know of. It was a mass death event. It was made much worse by the man now returned to the Oval Office. This is how I felt; maybe you did too.

damemagazine.comWhen Our Grief Turns to Despair - Dame MagazineIt’s been a year since I wrote about my bottomless, fathomless, American grief, about my inability to give it shape even as I tried to shape it with words. We’d lost about 220,000 Americans to COVID-1...

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Not sure what I did to get here, but I’m now in a position where friends in my network are throwing jobs my way left and right. I’m two months at my new job and have three other options I could explore if I chose to. What an absolute blessing of a position to be in. Be kind and fun to work with! 💛

Sentiments like these are eugenics and should have no place at government health agencies, whose mission is to protect the health of all people regardless of anyone’s circumstances.

Grateful to be at a career point where friends are sending me job opportunities to work together again, and I’m able to connect people in my network with great roles. Amazing how genuine relationships create this positive cycle where everyone lifts each other up. 🙌

The people doing this, from top to bottom, are truly evil.

Every word of this is depraved beyond belief. ICE abducted a six year old with leukemia, threatened him with a gun such that he wet himself, and has denied him medical treatment. I don’t know what to say. www.tpr.org/border-immig...

We are well on down the slippery slope now and I guess I was naive but I had presumed there'd be more sustained outcry from our supposedly pro-democracy institutions over the third? fourth? handcuffing of elected opposition figures by ICE and DHS? By targeted political assassination?

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Here’s RFK Jr in June 2023 saying he’s going to blackball any scientist who is on ACIP and block them from ever sitting on a committee again, and from receiving federal funding for 8 years. Today, he fired all 17 experts on that committee, which advises the nation on vaccines.

We are living in scary and uncomfortable times as the pace of change speeds up under the motivations of the worst people alive, and it is very tempting to argue over our own righteousness (speaking from experience), but sometimes we should focus on the results we want and work from there.
