Did I achieve any of the things I planned to do today? No

But did I organize my thoughts and lay the foundations for the work that needs to be done? Also no

OK, but did I at least take the opportunity to relax and recharge my batteries ready for a the week ahead? Alas,

Taking a stroll through my spam folder, I saw a bunch of legitimate messages from people and companies with their own domains, that are not publishing DMARC and SPF records. Surely everyone (and by everyone I mean Google) is rejecting their mail? How do they not realize this?

Then I noticed that one of them was received *from* gmail, so their mail probably works fine so long as they only mail gmail users. But another was via Yahoo, so that doesn't track.

If a company has genetic data

And it's going bankrupt

And that causes one of the biggest economies in the world, California, to warn people to delete their data before that happens

Because they're very concerned about who the genetic data will be sold to in bankruptcy court

Idk man maybe it should just be illegal to sell genetic data in bankruptcy court? Or it should require stringent oversight and regulation?

"What about the *research* funding?"

I mean what about it? Do you know what we called German doctors and scientists who submitted to and worked with the Nazi regime to do science/medicine? Nazis.

If the cost of your research is "I have to help fascists do fascism" then maybe you should look for another job because I can assure you, if we survive this, nobody is gonna say "oh we totally understand that you just did Nazism to keep funding your experiments." They're gonna say "you helped Nazis."

One thing I'm noticing that people are not understanding, that they really need to understand here:

Trump is not threatening to jail or deport anyone running these big law firms and prestigious universities. He's threatening them with funding cuts, lack of access to federal contracts, and harassment investigations.

So when they agree to collaborate with him, they're saying "there is a monetary cost above which we don't believe in anything and will gladly help install fascism to avoid."

The people who don't or can't experience empathy, who say empathy is a "woke virus" spreading in other people's minds, are like color-blind people declaring that the colors red and green don't exist and people who "believe" are crazy. And then tearing apart the world to take out the "fake" colors.

I see people unwilling or ashamed to share their joyous moments right now, like anything that’s not constant, active resistance is somehow frivolous and shows a lack of commitment.

But isn’t that why we’re doing all this? At the end of the day, I don’t resist fascism to prove them wrong or prove my worth, I’m doing it so I can live. So that other people can live a life full of those good moments.

Joy and living isn’t just a necessary component to fighting fascism. It’s the whole point.
