For Disability Pride Month I’m once again begging for more artists to start considering accessibility and add alt text to your images. It helps low/no vision folks, neurodivergent folks, and more. Plus alt text shows up in searches! There’s a toggle in settings so you won’t forget. 👇
You could also call up your US rep and demand they join AOC in this move for impeachment. Can't pass the R House, but they HAVE to use their bully pulpit and rally the public. www.nydailynews.com/2024/07/01/a...
This is why you wait for the lawyers to weigh in, bc you read the ruling and dissent with your normal brain and think it’s bad, but the lawyer will be able to tell you “Oh no, it’s much much worse.”
You should expect breaking news that takes massive rights away from American citizens from the Supreme Court on a regular basis right now, & be living informed by that. You should not be sitting paralyzed when they do the latest fascist thing. They've proven predictable, so learn their patterns.
Taking momentary comfort in remembering that “how to live a meaningful life under an awful government” is a challenge that billions of people have faced throughout history and around the world today
STOP DRIVING IN BOSTON
Roads were meant to be designed by people not cows
Intersections should be 2 roads not 5 roads
You should be able to drive a street more than 2 blocks w/o turning right and then left to stay on

I've officially gotten an eviction notice, so I'm doing one last push on my GoFundMe this weekend before everything starts imploding on me. #MutualAidRequest#TransCrowdFund

there's no conclusion to this story. I left Oklahoma and the one time I went back to visit the school he had retired. Maybe I should see if I can look him up and thank him for being a lynchpin in my life.
he had a cabin he built himself somewhere in the Oklahoma woods
he saw me reading Atlas Shrugged and warned me to think critically
he wrote my recommendation for astronomy camp and later for college
there were whispers he was gay
I was deeply, madly, and quietly in love with him.
thinking of my old physics teacher
after the school had a group of "God-inspired strongmen" put on a show ripping phone books in half with the power of Jesus, he spent class showing us how the physics of the tricks worked
he wore wranglers and had a moustache and built his own telescopes

It's hilarious that socialists get pegged as anti-democratic when we argue for MORE democracy, and think public servants like judges should be answerable to the people, while liberals say shit like "If only there was a way to keep one guy from destroying the country in exchange for plane rides"
Again, if you think the future of democracy hinges on Biden winning, but you are also cooking up schemes like "what if we bribed Thomas to vote our way" or "if the Democrats win every election ever the Supreme Court will eventually function properly", guess what, you already don't have a democracy
I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖
When I sat down on the couch I was a little warm from housework, so I had the windows open & the fan blowing. I swear it was only a couple of rounds of gaming when suddenly I had to run around and close all the windows and the fan blew over!
Remember this in 20 minutes when israelis sabotage talks again and Blinken and Miller get somber and righteous on TV claiming Hamas is the holdup and Arabs don't value their own lives
I don't know what burned me out but lately I can't handle more than a few minutes on any social media.

random thought I won't follow through on: a feed just for posts that include a "this is about pancakes not waffles" disclaimer
