Dear #BritishAirways. I am small fry but if you do business with #ElonMusk, then I will take my business elsewhere.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Ecoutez, les français, on parle de vous

Je refuse de voir dans les yeux de mes enfants un avenir brisé. J'ai fui la guerre du Liban à l'âge de deux ans. Toute ma vie, j’ai combattu, non pas avec des armes, mais avec la seule force qui m’anime : la science. J’ai défendu notre climat, nos forêts, nos champs, nos écosystèmes.

WE GOT THIS!

Starts NOW - through the 14th. Don’t touch Amazon or anything Jeff Bezos owns.

"When someone talks about 'free speech' while actively working to control speech, that’s not a contradiction or a mistake — it’s the point. It’s about consolidating power while wrapping it in the language of freedom as a shield to fool the gullible and the lazy."

When the news cycle is overwhelming, I like to check out the Trader Joe's subreddit (reddit.com/r/tra…). It's a nice peaceful place where people are excited about new products and righteous outrage is limited to the seasonal nature mochi mix. 🍜

I could also knit a pair of socks. Or watch the telly #knitting

I have a cold and no one wants to be around me so I dug around for supplies and purchased the Bra Construction course by the amazing Alison Smiths www.schoolofsewing.co.uk.
So I now I have to sit here and decide between watching the telly till I get a headache and making something nice. #sewing

Just cancelled my subscription to @nytimes.com . I'm so sad but It's no longer the bastion of journalism that it once was.

I don't think I have ever told anyone else this, but the reason I don't listen to much music is because it is so deeply emotional that I can't bear the pain. Weird, right?

I don't often promote things on social media, but here's a shout out to LEARN academy, the boot camp that I went to. I got so much out of it. Their January cohort is enrolling now, closes soon, and starts on 1/29. Graduates earn a Free MacBook Air to start their tech careers. learnacademy.org

I really love listening to BBC radio shows but the Sounds app is so frustrating. Hard to navigate and buggy. #RadioRules

This makes me think of the catholic church forbidding birth control so they can have more impoverished people dependent on catholic charities. It's an old, old playbook

My favorite holiday movie of all time is The Hogfather. Every time I watch it, I see more silly details. I don't know why it's not a thing. #TerryPratchet. Only 11.5 months before I can watch it again.

I like that my feed has a strange predilection for discussions of #marrows (vegetable and otherwise) and random comments about Midsommer.

We have created our own monsters... Trump, Ye, Musk... It's time to talk about the effects of power and fame on the human psyche

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com Thank you for inserting a sweet Gabriel/Beelzebub love story into Good Omens 2. It made me smile.

The comments section for this article is a synthesis on the ignorant and hateful opinions of type of reader that @nytimes.com is now courting.

Unsurprised by the accusations against #Depardieu but devastated and nauseated by the people, including Macron, who rushed to defend him... not because he is presumed innocent but because artists are above the law.
