Does anyone else feel like they had to rebuild their wardrobe after it turned into all sweats/work clothes during COVID and if so how did you go about doing that?

I like it here and I don’t think a mega corp Twitter clone can kill spaces like these.

There is a high level of original thought and engagement, people care about each other and maintain a strong space minimizing bad faith, harassment, and disinfo, which lets people be themselves & build community

Ok! Did you know that the character of Spock & the Vulcan “live long and prosper” 🖖🏽 is actually drawn from the Torah & informed by Nimoy’s Jewish heritage?

As a child, Nimoy was in synagogue & snuck a look at the Konahim blessing 🖖🏽. ST centered pluralistic society & he made it part of his character

Janeway. I grew up on TNG, TOS,& VOY, but the strong women characters on Voyager changed my life as a kid. I don’t know if I’d be in Congress if that show wasn’t on TV.

My dad was a huge Star Trek/Roddenberry fan & always talked about its social & political history. I could go on forever about ST 🪐

1\. Favorite Star Trek captain?

2\. What's going on with these UFOs and the UFO whistleblowers?? Should we be concerned?

Honestly having a really strong understanding of your walk-away point & what you’re willing to accept or not (and sticking to it!) is so helpful.

A lot of situations/people will push to see how little you’ll accept, but they can & will accommodate more. Happens in politics all the time but life too

Really wondering about where the line is to leave the other place. I am concerned about next year’s election given Musk putting his finger on the scale in Turkey, etc.

There is a line where the harm of unchecked disinfo exceeds the benefits of direct, authentic communication.

It’s really sad

This process started last week in the House. We have basically every Dem signed on and need ~5 GOP to bring a clean increase to the floor.

Hey @aoc.bsky.social, any thoughts on using a discharge petition to get a clean debt limit increase? You'd need all the D senators, most D reps, and a couple republicans.

One of the under-appreciated roles of bartenders is that it‘s literally their job to cultivate strong community.

Regulars keep a place in business. The best bartenders curate a strong vibe that draws solid people in, who then form a community that gathers at your spot.

PSA: “What if we just do/allow a little fascism instead” is not a moderate position. It’s just a fascist one in a suit
