I love to read, hike, ice skate, and ski. My friends and family bring me great joy. I have many hobbies and interests. I work in philanthropy to share and invest resources. I believe our liberation is collective and intertwined.

1/ For the people who are asking: “Where are the protests?!” There have been many! Much of them organized by immigrants rights groups and leftists. Here’s a thread of some I have found, or know people who have attended. Feel free to add your own.

Here’s a starter pack of some of my favorite Maine peeps, many of whom are new to Bluesky. This is as much for me as for anyone else- I’m hoping to build a similar sense of community as I had on Meta platforms after years of connecting there. Please suggest others to add! go.bsky.app/Pd3CiTt

In 2025 our love for this world has to become more ferocious. We cannot bottle up our righteous fury at forces who are knowing setting the world on fire and actually *want* it to burn because they think they will be safe. Whether in their palaces in the sky or their palaces down here on earth.

Other countries have safety nets. The US has women. Their labor creates the illusion of a DIY society, making it seem like we don't need a net. Writing HOLDING IT TOGETHER was a labor of love and fury and I'm so grateful to share it with you all #PubDay www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/697130...

UBI isn't supposed to be a magic bullet that cures everything, but its big advantage is it destroys conditionality which justifies enormous judgmental bureaucracies that alienate poor people and encourage them to hate each other and vote for the right

Finished this lovely book on my last leg of holiday travel. It is set long after some sort of apocalypse, and left a lot to the imagination about what came before. I loved feeling immersed in the environment. #booksky #books 📚💙
A book sits on a pick pillow. The book is paperback, with a dark cover, and what look like stars and two constellations that look like two hands reaching for each other. The title is “The Bear” by Andrew Krivak.

From the new book by David Graeber and @nikadubrovsky.bsky.social called Cities Made Differently
In thousands of ways, 
we are taught to accept 
the world we live in 
as the only possible one,
but thousands of other ways
of organizing homes, 
cities,  schools, societies, 
economies, cosmologies, 
have and could exist.

What I’m struggling with here on Bluesky is that on my other socials I built up and curated my feed organically over time. Here I feel a little lost. I’ve followed a bunch of starter packs, but don’t really know who anyone is. Anyone else feeling this way? Any ideas?

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.” A no less vital admonition that deserves attn: STAND OUT “...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."
