i think david and i might compromise our personalities in the ultimate way and move to a new development in what would be the suburbs if san antonio wasn’t just sprawl. we have house trauma. i don’t want to have to stress about a house. and moving farther out gets us so much. aghhhhhhh.

they’re setting me freeeee tonight! my white blood cell counts have dropped to normal human levels so i get to switch to oral antibiotics and painkillers and see my ENT in his clinic. hurray for smart doctors and modern medicines and days of IV antibiotics.

maybe it’s the but the craziest thing about my stay in the hospital is that the food is actually quite delicious.

our landlord offered us a mutual termination of our lease today so they could make all of the repairs and they offered: to give us our security deposit back. that’s it. looney tunes if they think we are falling for that. moving costs in this situation is like the one right renters have in Texas.

If you love stationary and based on sales, I think a lot of people do. Here's a gentle nudge to move past "collecting" and to actually USE the stationary. Write letters to friends and family. Send thank you notes. Write actual cards and MAIL THEM.

looking like 48-72 hours in the ICU. i am apparently already responding very well to treatment but they are going to be conservative and keep me because how fast things came on and the fact that it’s in my face and all. little freaked out by the doctors being like thank god that you went to the ER

let’s play: how much can our house move before it falls down? i feel like i need to hire a structural engineer home inspector to find out if we need to get out of this place. these are all from since we moved in. now our back door doesn’t want to open or close.

This is not deporting people. Literally. Legally. There is a deportation process and this isn't it. This is rendition. This is disappearing people.

to be clear, the admin is alleged to have deported AT LEAST 25,447 individuals TO COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT THEIR OWN with, evidently, ZERO PROTECTIONS. this is a scandal and crime of historic proportions.

Urban heat island effects are bad enough. Clustering data centers in cities, each of which can produce the heat of 54,000 houses, will make it exponentially worse, especially in already hot places like Phoenix Gift link to this great @bloomberg.com infographic: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Showing Up When The World Is On Fire:
Balancing Urgency & Slowness in Times That Demand
All of Us
The world is on fire. Some of it, quite literally. Some of it looks like the compounding crises of climate change, fascism, and corporate greed.
Drawing on what she learned helping lead Stand With Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge and years of working in climate and electoral communications, organizer Ashley Fairbanks asks what it actually looks like to treat an emergency like an emergency—without living our entire lives in emergency mode.
This is a talk about mutual aid, imagination, burnout, climate change, collective power, and our deep human desire to belong to one another. It's about moving quickly when the moment demands it, moving slowly whenever we can, and building the relationships that will carry us through whatever comes next.

Would you be excited for this keynote? Showing Up When the World Is on Fire What do we treat a crisis like a crisis without living our entire lives in emergency mode? What happens when communities stop waiting for permission and start taking care of one another?
