Professional labor photographer. Unions for all. Birds. Whales. Cats. Hydration. Maybe a dash of democratic socialism. Not necessarily in that order. Too much optimism for the current moment.

"My opponent wants to hire creeps to inspect your daughter's genitals if she wants to play soccer. I wouldn't trust him or any hired weirdo from his pedophile-protecting party alone in a room with any kid."
Go on the offensive, you cowards! It's not that hard!

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."
Incredibly disappointing ad from Mary Peltola (D-AK) saying she neither supports "kids getting surgeries to change genders or men in girls bathrooms."
Yes, flipping the Senate is essential and can stop bad laws and bad judges from happening, but she can do it without my support from the lower 48.

@nature.com the anthropomorpizing language of this article as well as the equating of agentic loops with actual employees/scientists without any evidence of that conjecture is deeply insulting to scientists and scientific rigor, respectively. 🧪🧬🖥️

god fucking damn it.
The horror has come to our city: ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning.
As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.

This is my big optimistic take. I have no optimism for 2027-2028. Foks without collective bargaining agreements are really gonna be hurting, hospitals will close, and re-opening them post 2029 is going to be a nightmare.

Cats!! As a university student, I worked night shift in a group home. We had a cat. I fed him every morning before leaving at the end of my shift. Then I discovered that the day staff were feeding him. Turned out that the neighbours on both sides were also feeding him! Told everyone he was hungry.
