My trip to the ER has reminded me of the real health emergency in this country. 

I don’t know if I touched poison ivy, poison sumac, or what I touched, but I have the worst rash I’ve ever had in my life — on one forearm, one thigh, and a little on my chest.

Thank you to everyone who voted in the August poll for a $50 donation from eclecticmisc.org. And the winner is — Wolf-PAC! Read more…

It’s #FollowFriday again! Please check out my 24 (?!?!) new followers.

It’s the little things that keep me going sometimes. And today, it’s the fact that I finally received my Star Trek “Make it Sew” mask!

Twitter just announced that their new Super Follows subscription service is now live, after a beta period of a few months for some.

Since the pandemic started, a lot of us have been doing work meetings or attending classes on Zoom/Skype/Teams or other videoconferencing platforms. But…

I can’t believe it’s August 30th already. It has been a harrowing month in terms of news here in the US and abroad, and nerve-wracking month personally…

It’s #FollowFriday again! Also, make sure to vote in the $50 donation poll for August. Time is running out, the poll closes Aug. 31 at 11:59pm Eastern. ⏳

This week’s post is about TYT Community’s Book Club. It meets once every two weeks, focusing on reading a few chapters of an interesting politics-related book and discussing it informally together.

One good thing is that I’ve finally started doing what I’ve been wanting to do for a long time — watching TV shows unrelated to politics. I loved Star Trek growing up and have been watching some episodes and joining tweet threads with other Star Trek fans…

It’s been a depressing week for progressives. But I got an email today with news of at least one victory that shows change is possible, even when going up against one of the richest and most powerful companies on the planet.

It’s #FollowFriday again! And yesterday, I hit 1,500 followers on Twitter!! Thank you so much to everyone who follows me and who visits my site, where I post new content Mon through Fri…

I have a gnarly Twitter poll about gifts from the 80s that many people thought were totally radical, but that you almost never hear about anymore.

I’m a pacifist. I don’t believe war is ever the answer. But was the US staying in Afghanistan better than them leaving?

Even though it’s Friday the 13th, I’m feeling lucky because I have 20 new followers this week! Thank you to everyone who followed me!!

The August poll is still open for $50 donation to a progressive-friendly organization, show, candidate, etc. Previous winners have included everything from Jeff Waldorf’s Around the Nation (part of TYT Nation) to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

The infrastructure bill prohibits the White House from banning fracking. And seven Democrats went along with it. Bernie apparently put up some resistance, but went along with a non-binding vote against Green New Deal.

Masks are here to stay for the foreseeable future. I’m curious — what kinds of masks do you like to wear? Something low-key? A political or social message? A fun logo or design?…

It’s already too late to stop civilization-altering climate change from happening. The only question is, what can we do to stop it from getting even worse.
