And best of luck on the job hunt!

My lifelong love of antiques paired with my newfound love of tarot decks is leading to some verrrry expensive eBay saves.

Same experience with Walgreens in Federal Way. The pharmacist was apologetic but I was turned away. How can we hold Walgreens accountable?

Pouring rain in the dead of summer? Seattle really is heaven on earth

The air smells smoky in South Seattle but all the AQI reports say it's fine... Did air quality reporting get cut by this admin, or am I smelling phantom wildfires?

You can take the girl out of the poverty line, but you can't take the "reusing yogurt containers as tupperware" out of the girl.

We take the elastic hair tie for granted. Hair down, hair up in 5 seconds. Imagine living in pre-hair-elastic times - how did anyone get anything DONE??

I'm still annoyed about that stupid Duolingo CEO saying that AI is a better teacher than humans.

Factually, it is not.

Such a bizarre and preposterous claim, likely motivated by corporate greed and/or techno-imperialist ideals.

Time to boycott Duolingo until Luis von Ahn publicly rescinds this preposterous take.

I'M GOING TO SCREAM

Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’

Duolingo replaced its contract workers with AI. Now its eyes are set on schools.

Once again thinking of how good Dead Outlaw is, for how it exposes this theme of commodified remains and honors the human life that was here. #DeadOutlawMusical

I've been working on the histories of human remains and disability and colonialism for a few years now, and what really interests me is how inevitable it is for people to make obscene arguments to appease their own discomfort re/continue using/consuming unethically procured or stolen human remains

I went and saw a slew of Broadway shows last week. At each show, I wore a mask (Kn95 or N95). And at each show where I chatted with the stranger sitting next to me, they invariably said I was "smart" for wearing a mask. (One guy even said "I wish I could wear one" 🤷🏻‍♀️)
