For all y'all participating in that blue bracelet trend. Please buy from and support POC women. I can't stress this enough. If you're going to be an ally. Actually Support the people who you are signaling your support for. Judgment and social shame isn't the oppression flex you think it is. You need to do more for these targeted communities, and you can. And for those who are opting for the blue heart tattoo. You're awesome

I had a sports car with very stiff shocks once and I thought I was the only one who felt my nipples shook in a certain way until a buddy told me he's getting turned on.... then I thought about all the people who've ridden in my car...🤔 😳 😳

From Amy Westervelt (climate reporter), on BlueSky:

"I spent the last few months channeling all my election anxiety into a giant sprawling spreadsheet :tracking all 109 (i think) Project 2025 orgs, their top funders, staff, networks they belong to, + tax status and whether they appear to be violating it."

THESE ARE THE BAD GUYS.

If these tariffs go through, what happens to the tech industry? The majority of components are made outside the US. Cloud costs go even higher? What about consumer electronics?

Seriously, I have to start planning for this with my org and I don't know where to start.

PA info... Point 4...

Be safe. Inform yourself. Protect yourself.

For the 1000th time: you DO NOT NEED TO INTERACT WITH ANYONE OR ANYTHING that you see in your feed or anywhere else online. Mind your own business and focus on your own life, your own needs, and your own space to express yourself.

If something is too upsetting for you, ignore it. If something is too realistic for you, move on from it. If people are too negative and nasty and broken or dysregulated for you, let them go or ignore them.

Self care is IMPORTANT and more necessary than ever.

Thank goodness we have COSO and J running this ship. I can't imagine being anywhere else on a day like today.

On November 17 we will celebrate COSO's 7th birthday.

Those of us who can, help @th3j35t3r with the expenses to keep COSO afloat. Now more than ever, it seems important to do so. Several times in the past we have funded it 100% in this month. Can we do that again?

Please consider the ways to help fund COSO and especially November at 100%.

Here's how:
