    Let’s be honest: the working class did not suddenly turn into a bunch of fascists. It’s hard for some folks to care about the rights of other people they might not know personally when they can’t afford groceries for their kids.

    “It’s a stunning message for Starbucks management to send to their workers…. It says a lot about who they really value at that company and who they don’t” @sarahanderson.bsky.social

    Cars. I suppose it’s inevitable that since we’ve had so much power over our own lives stripped away, we will desperately hang on to something that gives the illusion we still control how we get to work(apart from lanes, speed limits, signals, traffic jams, closures, etc).

    this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

    Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

    John Bolton is a neo-con imperialist. That’s not why the FBI raided his house. “Step out of line, the men come and take you away…”

    I’m an American. My grandparents fled war and the ethnic cleansing of their people and settled here. Every generation of our family since has served, some as soldiers, some as police, some as teachers, in gratitude for the place where we could all be safe, no matter our religion, color, or past.
