While peaceful protest is not the panacea to all the ills and harms happening, it has a needed place in saying no to the fuckery taking place.

Also, insisting on violent protest speaks of blind privilege for many of us, especially poc, know what can and will happen to us should they get violent.

I am speculating that part of what is happening is how some are seeing how AI is being used to supplement healthcare in China, thinking it can be done here in the US, without properly considering how it is being utilized.
There is a difference between using it to make appointments v. interpret data.

I have always found her an annoyance at best and problematic at worst.
But when she did her "in my opinion rant" on Anthony Bourdain, it spoke volumes of how insufferable and icky she is, as a person and as a journalist.

Taking it one moment at a time.🥺

Starting the day watching cute cat videos🐈🐾🐈‍⬛ over on TikTok, as I eat my toasted Royo super seed bagel with cream cheese 🥯, paired with a cup of mixed berries 🫐 and a mug of citron green tea 🍵.

A lot is bad and going terribly wrong, but I am grateful for the good.🥹

"The anticipation of living
is empty calories
and you were meant to be full."

Don't save your best, for "someday" or "a special day", for every day is a day worthy of being an occasion to celebrate with joy.
Live and love life to fullest, in your own terms, with everything that you enjoy.

Devour Your Nice Things
Burn the fancy candle.
Wear the special-occasion dress.
Pop the good bottle.
Scribble hurry slowly on the first page
of your leather-bound notebook.
Gorge on your pearls,
your cashmere, your silks.
Use the high-end eyeshadow
until the silver pan winks back.
Baptize your wrists in Baccarat Rouge,
a little extra for the collar.
Devour your nice things—
don't let the best go cold on your plate.
The anticipation of living is empty calories
and you were meant to be full.

ALWAYS appeal when health insurance says no.

Yes, it is an incredibly frustrating process that is set up to be intentionally exhausting.
But it is worth the effort to try, to push insurance to do what is right.

Rainy day Sunday with some cleaning 🧹and organizing 📥today.

I love my trio layer pink metal cart, in how it makes it easier to set up my books 📚, teas 🍵, and equipment 📷.

Knowing where things are eases a lot of stress.
An added bonus is that pushing it around makes me feel like a librarian. 🤓

A three layer wheelie cart, filled with an assortment of my items, in front of a dark wooden door with a gold knob.
Top layer is packed with books, bookmarks, a LEGO set, magazines, and trade newspapers.
Middle layer is filled with a variety of teas and honey.
Bottom layer is holding some portable streaming equipment items, post-it notes, paperback books, pens, and extra art supply sets.
A pair of pink scissors and a hair clip in a mesh pouch are hanging from matching hooks in the front of the cart.

I was very surprised and happy for the pink gaming organizer.
The moment I saw it, especially for $10, I just knew that I had to get it.

I looked it up with plans to get a few more later on.
They come in different colors and usually retail for $25.
So, I definitely lucked out in color and in price.
