My dear friend Jaci died in childbirth last year. Her last tweets were a statement about the importance of abortion to her.
I’ve retweeted this 🧵before, and I probably will again, because I think they are words of profound wisdom and grace.
Threadnoughters: if you haven't already, it's time to make the jump to Bluesky. We have a starter pack ready for you of the active Threadnought members who we now have already made accounts, so it's easy to find us on the other side. #threadnought

Bluesky now has a system for mass following to user-created lists of people, so if you are worried about finding your people over on Bluesky, make the switch already.
All of lawtwitter is about two clicks away. What are you waiting for?
I'm deleting this app off my phone. I'll maybe repost here from elsewhere, but you should really find me over on Bsky if you still want to interact.
My wife would kill me if I included a photo, but her craft room is now a prime example for all of us over the next four years.
It has become ungovernable.

blue states, i'm going to really need all of you to begin some semblance of an effort to build housing. this is ridiculous no matter how you look at it
On the one hand, I have money on Kamala (and I really want a pretty new guitar), but on the other hand, that "keys to the presidency" guy will be insufferable in four years if we win.

imagining if kant had been a contemporary airport book author and after the critique of pure reason, he published 40 variants like "critique of pure teenager reason", "critique of pure grandma reason", "critique of pure coffee lovers' reason", etc
Something I've heard all my life from older people is "We didn't have [social issue] when I was young" or some variation thereon.
But as I approach middle age, I'm still waiting for a social issue that didn't exist when I was young to come up.

Incredible: AI can predict the winner of the 2024 election. Looks like there will be a few surprises; for example, there's a good chance that Iowa will win Texas.
I am so grateful to whichever programmer put in automatic download options on Plex.
Always having the next episode of Little Bit's shows on the iPad, no matter where we are, is a godsend.
To this day we measure the length of periods of massive incompetence by “scaramuccis.”
Some people have the memory of a goldfish. Or, in scientific terms, one milliscaramucci.

Most of all in government, I want competence
My preference would have been Desantis ... but I likely would have abstained if Josh Shapiro had been the nominee.
