To make a subtext into text, I haven't been posting about the zillion different new political nadirs of the past couple of weeks on here because I'm not quite sure what to say. Once I have figured it out, I probably will be yelling a lot. Most likely in essay form.
...no, YOU end professional emails to your wife with "Buy more oat milk, Me" #BootsAndInuShow
Nazi Klan policies pair up with Kafkaesque bureaucratic incompetence to terrorize and waste the time of someone who was actually never even violating this viciously monstrous law.
iβll just keep posting variations on elementary human decency, not that it matters

Me on Bluesky: Let me tell you what I just said elsewhere and also chag sameach I guess π
I missed that Konan v. USPS came out yesterday. This is the case where the Post Office refused to deliver mail to a Black woman. Of course Clarence Thomas, 5-4, says it's okay.
Clarence Thomas is the worst thing to happen to Black people since Roger Taney

!!!!!!ACTION ITEMEDE Around 1,700 trans Kansans' drivers' licenses will be invalid as of Midnight CT, February 26, 2026 due to a new law passed by extremist Republicans in the Kansas Legislature. THEY WILL NEED YOUR HELP AFFORDING THE CHANGE. Even if $20-$30 doesn't sound like a lot, members of the LGBTQ+ community are often disproportionately affected by financial struggles and EVERY DOLLAR HELPS. Keep in mind- IF any of these trans folks in Kansas are pulled over as of the deadline above, they could be charged with driving without a license, among other consequences that come with not having a valid license. In order to help, PLEASE consider donating to the LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas at www.lgbtqks.org/ donate. (Thank you to Matthew Hewey Neumann for running this organization and leading this effort). IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO DONATE- please share this info FAR AND WIDE. We want to connect folks to the necessary resources available to help you. Sponsors are available. IF YOU ARE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THIS, please email the Foundation at Igbtqkansas@gmail.com. Help is available. AD ASTRA, PER ASPERA.
FYI!

About 10% of people with Tourette Syndrome exhibit coprolalia, the involuntary utterance of inappropriate remarks.
These utterances are often what the individual *themselves* considers taboo.
It is NOT the same as lowered inhibition but rather is more similar to horrifying but intrusive thoughts.
Ecta: Not only would I have to go hiking, I would *have to outpace you*
Me: So what you're saying is, I have Marked Myself Safe from Alpine Divorce?
Ecta: Pretty much, yeah
#BootsAndEctaShow
Ecta: Have you ever heard of Alpine Divorce?
Me: That shit's fucked up, and if you ever do it to me I am suing you
Me: I know this is unlikely on several levels, but it needed to be said
Looks like so far, opinions are evenly split!
Okay, I'm taking a poll:
When you sign a professional email, do you include your name above the preloaded Name and Titles signature, or do you use said signature to close the email?
(I have Opinions about this, and am curious if I'm the only one)
Once again, they are telling us that, ackshully, we don't care about the bad ones, because what's bad is that they're immigrants.
There's going to be a lot of "ope it's the top of the hour gotta go byeeeeee"
Wednesdays are always my bad days, but I have nine meetings on my calendar tomorrow. They span from 9:30am through 5:00pm. The calendar becomes funnier the longer that I stare at it.
I performed in a full length concert today, for the first time in nine years. It turns out, I had a lot of thinks and a lot of feels about this, particularly around the role that performance plays in activism and social change. So I wrote an essay about it.

A line chart going from Jan 2009 to Jan 2026 showing very few cases until Trumpβs second term, where the line takes off nearly vertically, showing more than 6,600 cases in Jan 2026 alone.
Habeas cases filed by immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have taken off to levels we have never seen before. Just look at that chart.

Really interesting and informative thread about what is driving the Discord changes
I know we're all mad about ICE/DHS but we also need to be mad about RFK Jr.
He's killing -- and is setting the stage to kill -- waaaaay more people than DHS does, it's just that it happens quietly and in people's homes. Vaccine recommendations matter. Lying under oath matters.
IMPEACH RFK JR
Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.
Me: *signs at Ecta about breakfast while yawning*
Ecta: *makes fun of me*

This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained.
She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICEβs Dilley facility for immigrant families.
Sheβs one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. π§΅1/
Rohan Nadkarni @RohanNadkarni This is incredibly cool β A source familiar with Bad Bunnyβs performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real. They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.

When he gave the Grammy to that young boy who made everyone think of Liamβ¦even if that wasnβt actually Liam, it was just the perfect way of cutting through all the bullshit.
Every kid impacted by this administrationβs cruelty is another Liam.
