I've gotten a handful lately...

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA

federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

tell everyone you know

The Morning Monty offers you bunny-soft handsomeness in these difficult times.

Disclosure: I've been a participant over the years in these Jewish People Policy Institute polls. Today I asked them to remove me from their "respondent panel" unless they commit to no longer misrepresenting their findings as being representative of Jewish Americans overall.

Tribute Post for Fobazi Ettarh - ACRLog With immense sadness, the writers of ACRLog acknowledge the passing of Fobazi Ettarh, library worker and influential LIS scholar. If you are able to contribute, there is a GoFundMe established for Fob...

My colleagues at ACRLog wrote short tributes to the life and work of Fobazi Ettarh @fobettarh.bsky.social. I wrote about her work on disability, which I think deserves more recognition. acrlog.org/2026/03/04/t...

Thanks @ezerrenner.bsky.social for coordinating. #CripLib #VocationalAwe

"But don't you want it in your car?"
"Don't you want it near, and far?"
"Don't you want it on TV?"
"It's going to be the future, see?"

I have to say, it's very clear.
I do not want this, far or near.
I do not want it in my car.
I do not want it near my art.

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

The possible price of loving someone is having to grieve them eventually and AI cannot stop that. It cannot soften the blow or fill a void and it is quite frankly disrespectful and weird to try

“Tarzhay” is French for letting ICE stage in your parking lots, letting ICE brutalize your teenage employees and kidnap your customers.

A number of pages and sites removed recently from .gov sites now have archives viewable at govarchive.us - just substitute "govarchive.us" for "gov" in the URL that doesn't seem to work any more, and see what you find! https://govarchive.us/ #c4l26

Ooh, bookmarking to go back and watch this on the stream

Thanks <3 It was quite a conversation to have in hour umpteen of labor. Baby is now almost two and wears a mask in medical settings herself.

Happier circumstances, but the medical staff involved in my c-section refused to wear respirators.

You won! You got what you wanted! Nobody has to mask anywhere, even in medical facilities around the most vulnerable patients. Moreover, nobody even feels obligated to, because we don’t owe anything to each other. You got everything you wanted, so just leave us alone and let us mask in peace.

recalling when I worked at the flight school and a wayward turtle walked onto the runway and a pilot said so, then a guy in a golf cart went out there, moved the turtle, and radioed "the turtle has been revectored", a phrase that has been seared into my brain for life

This is hilarious and now I’m kind of glad I screen recorded the site yesterday. I especially love that they deleted the “Will my professor know?” question.

H.A. Brown Elementary School Mural By Skype a Scientist

A week ago I found out that the grant I was confident would fund our spring mural will not, bc we're 2 blocks too deep into Kensington. This STINKS.

This project rocks bc it's community driven, biodiversity-focused (& more! read on!)

We're raising money to make it happen

Let's try this again 👋

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, researchers say A Stanford University team have tested their nasal spray vaccine in animals but still need to do human clinical trials.

Keep Minnesota Housed! Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction. Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds! #keepMNhoused

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.

Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

I would just like everyone to be able to pee, get resoundingly science-supported healthcare, & be treated as deserving of nondelayed equal rights—rather than just people who happen to match a tiny rigid range of how you can look & be. I would like trans kids to be allowed to live.
