How are you handling holiday visits this season with MAGA family? Add other choices in comments.❤️🙏❤️
Just watched Alien:Romulus--solid movie! And I've hated pretty much all of them since _Aliens_.
Okay, I am officially off the "eh, this salmon is *probably* still good" food daredevil team.
What isn't killing me is definitely *not* making me stronger.
After having it on the shelf for yeaars I finally started MLK's "autobiography" yesterday (it's not literally an autobiography, but was assembled from his writings). I'm digging it so far.
Gonna see if I can tap into my inner nonviolence person...

A Trump supporter who was among the first rioters to breach the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has been convicted of plotting to kill the FBI special agents who investigated him over his crimes at the Capitol.
Edward Kelley is also an anti-abortion extremist.
I love seeing the snow come back to the Olympic mountains. #PNW

You know the "P" in the kids' DPT shots? That's for pertussis, AKA whooping cough. Your neighbors have not been vaccinating their children and now here we are.
There have been 1,744 reported cases of whooping cough statewide this year, compared with fewer than 300 reported cases all of last year.
Infants are severely at risk because they haven't yet been vaccinated.
They FA and our babies have to FO.
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
"Decades down the road, I think the notion that a pack of mostly-American mega-corporations could ever have stood in for the complexities of governing a new layer of global public life, with all the opportunities and dangers it brings, will be obviously laughable. I think it already is."
"Collective action requires that we find each other, both beforehand and in the moment, and build human networks resilient enough to withstand every kind of weather. This becomes wickedly hard to do when the public social surfaces of the internet teem with predators—and also when they’re structured by root-level design decisions that make the simplest patterns of communication harder and worse in service of the systems’ underlying anti-human purposes."
This starts out a teeny bit hard to follow (for me anyway) but it's really excellent: An essay on how to structure social media.
