Gardening is like a miracle. (Doing my part to leaven a feed of mostly 'the world is burning' news, as we all still need to eat.)

This whole thing is NOT like Mom and Dad are fighting; this is like watching the gang that kidnapped you falling apart in front of you and realizing one of them will likely kill you, either in spite or accidentally by neglect.

So grateful for a new @scalzi.com novel read by @wilwheaton.net in the middle of all this crazy. But I definitely just laughed so hard I snorted tea out my nose, 6 minutes into chapter 3 of the audio. SNORTED. It's not Octavia Butler level prescience, but it IS mighty timely.

Grocery prices are soaring. Housing costs are skyrocketing. Retirement savings are plummeting. But Donald Trump thought today would be a good day to play car salesman.

If you’re a professor in a classroom today & you don’t mention this, I believe you’re doing your students a profound disservice. This is targeted 1st at international students, but it’s deliberately broad enough to lay groundwork for a scene Trump & Hegseth have fantasized: troops on campus.

A truth from Trump that reads “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter”

I want to say again that the work-based celebration of Valentine's Day is creepy and weird. I am entirely clear on the capitalist nature of the relationship between myself and my employer, even if they give me candy

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

Biscuit, pining after 8 lbs of ground lamb. Still can't make the corner to get up there! Poor little dog.

The combination of recruitment season, the country on fire, and a student with a literal car full of girl scout cookies (who takes venmo) is probably not a good one. Self-medicating with samoas whilst making my daily calls.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.
