I’m sorry but there is no leftist argument in favour of book piracy (even academic books: because in that case honestly a lot of academics will just send you the PDF if you ask, it might even be open access) while libraries exist. And using libraries is the way to keep them existing.

LIBRARIES EXIST. if you want to read my book for free that is absolutely fine by me, and you can go to a library and take it home and make a note of anything that’s interesting, and then return it and someone else can do the same. And doing that will help your local library AND I’ll earn a tiny fee.
I see the book piracy discourse is back and as a writer I only have one opinion which is that yea I would actually quite like to earn a comfortable life doing an easy, likeable creative job, I don't think the world owes that to me, but it would be nice, and it's not an insane thing to want

What's really amusing to me about the online and semi-academic argument around this is that we used to be popularly referred to as Columbia and Columbians, with Columbia *also* referring to the entire New World.
So really it's just US hating which is fine, but gddmn be truthful about it.

If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

4,225 data centers, seems like overkill already. Why do we need even more? AI is already everywhere we DON’T need it. Remove unnecessary AI first. The air quality is already toxic everywhere.
If all these are necessary, explain how we ever managed without them.

Dammit I caught Covid 😢
Apart from feeling tired, the thing that made me test was not being able to smell my coffee.
Thankfully this week is all optional classes and online work, so I can stay home and rest.
It’s my first time! Tips?

If you're getting your health information from physicians who have been professionally sanctioned and lost their licenses, then consider perhaps not doing that...

The rest of my family watching in horror as my sister and I talk shop at every family get together
one fun thing about going home for the holidays is hearing my mom (a former ER nurse) tell me about every medical condition imaginable and scaring me into thinking I could drop dead any moment, then quickly pivoting to who’s going to make the cranberry sauce for tomorrow

Having all the important conversations with my patients & their families in clinic today:
1) Favorite side dish?
2) Mac & cheese - crunchy top or no crunchy top?
3) Turkey - delicious on its own or purely a vessel for gravy?
4) Canned or fresh cranberry sauce?
5) Favorite pie?

I'm in this organizing/household management group that's all women. There are coaches that lead sessions and they let people on the Zoom share things from their lives. Goodness me women are carrying so many burdens for their families & homes. Sharing so many struggles with family for the holidays.🫂

OMG the coach on this Zoom said she & her husband do a "Toxic Family BINGO" (in their heads or on paper they keep private)
Then after they go to a big family gathering they often will treat themselves later to ice cream another night since they got either a BINGO or a Blackout. 😀

just left my feedback session to which she greeted me with 'this won't take long' so i was like FUCK I FAILED. then BOOM i had the highest mark in the class and she told me i need to stay in academia and that she'll keep an eye on me to ensure my writing becomes PERFECT. she did complain a bit but🫠
may the pillow of my writing prof always be warm. burning hot even. why teach people if you hate it so much? did someone hold a gun to her head when she was applying for this position? a good example of someone pursuing a doctorate degree for an ego boost and then torturing others with it. damn girl
