Sad and long-expected news: Michael Tilson Thomas died last night at 81, nearly five years after first being diagnosed with brain cancer. This will take some time to process. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

"I think the counter to Trump always has been and always will be civil society. A lot of the left wants social change to look like the French Revolution or Che Guevara. Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war."- @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m...

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

The tech world is pushing AI into everything and telling us it's both the way of the future and inevitable. Meanwhile, in the tech world:

We can help feed each other and clothe each other. We can take each other in and provide shelter. We can raise money. We can know our rights when it comes to ICE, etc. But I can’t fly a fucking plane. “We’re all we have” has its limits. We need government regulations for a reason.

Overheard: “The thing about having an English professor as a mom is that she talks about books a lot, but she’ll help you with your essays.” So, on balance, good?
