Good day for a peaceful sploot pic. #dogsofbluesky

I think Jane Austen would have been very pleased with #Sanditon Seasons 2&3.
I used all my monitors to get through last night's "Stolen Valor" #SOTU. Audio-wise I swapped between the #StateoftheSwamp and the #People'sStateoftheUnion. I also appreciated the parasocial experience of watching with @thebulwark.com's head-in-hands Tim Miller. Good counter programming, all. π
This is like if someone invented the worst sleep meditation ever. #SOTU
Oh! There are two different events.

@defiance.org please please please tell me you have the gold-medal winning U.S. women's hockey team as honored guests for the #people'sSOTU???
@jessicavalenti.bsky.social nails why yesterday was so deeply depressing to so many women:

Counterprogramming! Finally. Thank you, @defiance.org ! Tomorrow's #People'sSOTU is the kind of thing I've craved since writing this:

I take βschedulingβ to mean: βWe live in 2026 and you live in the Paleolithic Period. We couldnβt possibly time travel across three million years by Tuesday." #SOTU #Olympics www.cnn.com/2026/02/23/p...
I got up early to watch the gold medal game but after that call, I hope with all my heart that the women's hockey team declines Trump's "invitation"--and even though I know this will never happen, I wish the men's team would *also* decline out of respect for their fellow athletes. #Olympics
Stay safe, Burstein family! β€οΈ
This morning I learned what my ASMR triggers are. kategace.substack.com/p/not-just-t...
Unbelievable. (It's stuff like this that made Severance such a hit.)
Omg and this presentation is being delivered unironically???
#Healthcare is essential; #employment is increasingly wobbly. Why do we Americans continue to tie the two? I genuinely don't get it, but I'll listen to anyone willing to make the case.

@itsuncledrew.bsky.social asked for something funny today. This, from a very sweet proposal story, got me: "βMike was getting out of the shower, and I got down on one knee. He thought I was doing lunges."

What are the #ethics of interrogating a teen about his life in the 30 mins after wisdom teeth removal? My understanding is that I could learn ANYTHING I WANT. #parenting
B) The "mediation" that happens in a field, with the mediator astride a motorcycle, is a pretty good argument for more staid approaches involving, say, a table and chairs, as well as formal guidelines and a strict process. That did not go well. 3/3
A) It gets at one of the reasons there's so much current demand: "...not far beneath the showβs surface is a portrait of a country whose residents have forgotten how to share space with other human beings, or simply reject the obligation to do so altogether." 2/3
My fellow #mediators: are you watching this show? I'm only one episode in, but I'm hooked. 1/3

Now that I have a #keitruck, I buy baguettes all the time. I canβt explain it.
...for years in part because they help capable women (and in fact anyone who's very good at what they do!) to advance. Anyway, maybe it was just a throwaway, but in making the (totally valid!) point that the private sector has plenty of waste, I think you got things a little muddled there. 2/2
@virginiaheffernan.bsky.social I always enjoy your convos with Cy Canterel, but on 2/12 I thought you were both uncharacteristically glib re. what constitutes a BS job. You don't have a shift that needs covering, yet what you do is valuable! I've pushed #ROWE (results-only work environments)...1/2
Just early on? #Valentine's
No real regrets--but there's something I would have done differently. #parenting #writing
