I just restarted sending my newsletter after... 3 years?

Why am I saying this after I sent instead of before to get more followers? I kinda like at this point to do things a bit randomly and not following "growth" patterns.

Anyhow, here it is:

Absolutely, even having all the knowledge sometimes it just slips out due to other factors. It’s totally understandable!

Hurry is definitely one of the most common culprits 😅

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?

Before you all yell at me, my answer can be summed up as "fuck, no".



It fits one message with characters to spare. Right?

An illustration of a crow lying on the floor surrounded by a semi-circle of ducklings. One of the ducklings asks “You okay?” and the crow replies “Uhhhhh”. The illustration style draws all the animals in full black brush strokes, on a bright colored background, burgundy.

This is basically how AI took over the workplace.

Sure, there was some push (Microsoft baking it into Office) but the "use AI for everything or be fired" dorks are do-nothing managers, using their free time to become TESCREAL-pilled, and posturing in front of each other about how agentic they are.

Whenever you hear a tech CEO spinning out *absolute fucking nonsense* using star trek language, some of what you're hearing is a screeching positive feedback loop between him and the crackpots he's spending all of his time listening to.

Some of whom he literally created.

Nobody encouraged me.
School education had nothing.
If anything, everything was saying how horrible being trans is.

I’m still trans.
I still transitioned.

I’m still mourning the years I lost because I didn’t know it was an option. I hate the society that hid this from me.

Fuck transphobes.

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.
