I really can’t watch any of these ice flip videos without thinking about how a white man is being rewarded for accomplishing what a Black woman was punished for doing 30 years ago

Surya Bonaly was an incredible athlete and she was treated like shit for it

Everyone should watch it!! Has been on repeat for me and is simply remarkable.

Bonaly skates here with that rare quality where I forget sometimes while I'm watching, that's she's on ice.

re: trump pooping himself sure yikes but also like people mocking his appearance it (a) doesn't belong on the list of huge harms he's causing (b) seems likely to only make people feel worse who have an issue with that but aren't destroying the world? eye on the ball, epstein / ice / corruption maybe

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

I have 2 professors this semester who are hammering in hand-writing and hard copies over typing and digital. Please don't tell them but... they're right. For me at least, I am able to engage with the material so much better if I have a printed copy.

And that includes conversion therapists wanting to prey on trans and queer youth for immense profit. Blocking access to gender affirming care is part of that.
There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

As we start to dismantle ICE, they will do everything in their power to coverup their crimes. Including incinerating and executing thousands of people in their concentration camps.

I need yall to wrap your minds around this. The war is already here. It’s already at your doorstep.

I got my final paper back for one of my classes and it's more red than black, I'm not cut out for this academia stuff. Lol

One more pass on this paper and I am DONE with this semester.

Tl;dr I regret doing a PhD. Lol

I just finished my final paper for a social media class and chose to write it on dogpiling and *almost* used myself as a case study, but ended up going with a far more bigger profile dogpile in 2021.

Whew this topic is not good for my mentals.

there has been no meaningful improvement in the devices or their functionality in 10 years in any way that affects what any normal person uses them to do, people only switch when forced updates cause a device which worked fine yesterday to lag so bad you can't type at full speed until you replace it

I think it’s super weird that Americans normalized spotlighting individual social media posts as “news” and then responding by harassing and doxxing people because of them

Was staying at school studying until midnight, but I'm getting too old for late-night/early AM shit and decided my sanity isn't worth reading every single article 100% anymore, so have started enforcing a "go home" rule by 9pm. Now I wake up at 4:30am instead.

Thanks body, really doing me a solid.

Welp! Remember what I said the other day?

"If white people have to accept some racism in order to get another thing they want, they will do it."
"Not one senator said Platner’s tattoo or other controversies were disqualifying, and several acknowledged he’s bringing excitement to a party that has been struggling in the political wilderness since President Donald Trump took back power in January."

da fuc is wrong with these people

Despite recent controversies, Platner has a huge lead in a recent poll and is drawing big crowds, while the two-term governor Mills is counting on her experience and achievements.

I definitely think AAA game prices going up is not some simple expression of cost, though it sometimes is! It is mostly greed and bad decision making. Also, games as a hobby is so layered and rich you simply do not need to spend a ton to enjoy it! Break yourself of your attachment to The Big Thing.

They would simply not be the Mariners if they had a legit shot at the World Series and then blew it.

Some days, reading dense academic articles is the last thing I want to do. Was really silly of me to make this my fulltime job.

Of COURSE the Mariners make the ALCS the season I move away. I would have 100% splurged on tickets for just a 30 minute light rail trip.

Watch them make the world series...
