@djrothkopf.bsky.social with some insightful points. Also hope to hear more from Joe… he’s not on blue sky? Maybe he doesn’t bother preaching to the choir.

Listened to this, and Maura, your doing some brilliant stuff. I swear I feel like I’ve got mold growing in my brain compared to you.

"Hegseth hasn’t changed his position. He doesn’t support women serving in combat roles. His answer is akin to the stepmother in the fairy tale telling Cinderella she can go to the ball if she gets all her work done. But the work is never done."

The point of MAGA and Trump is pain and suffering that will lead to hopelessness and apathy.
Remembering and aspiring to better days will be our superpower. Centering joy and building communities in real life will be our balm. So remember to remember what is right & what is wrong & what is true 3/3

networking appliances give corporations the opportunity to continue charging you to use devices you already paid for. that’s why every new pitch for this sounds more absurd than the last. they’re not trying to fulfill a need, they’re trying to invent one.

In the face of rising oligarchy, I believe it is the very thing.
Your quite meaningful zine SHOULD be silly, yet sting.

Feels odd putting a “like” on a post like this. Where’s the “sadly I concur” button?
