I swear I learned more about money working in bars and clubs than I have in actual college level accounting classes. But also, if you can't respect the lived experience you theoretically contracted me for maybe don't argue with an accounting major about their invoice math like they did it wrong?

A day later somehow my original math for invoice hours is, in fact, correct. Extraordinarily, with no degrees (yet) I still know more about common invoicing/payroll conventions and am better at accurate financial calculation than the academic trying to gaslight me.

The person trying to underpay me by the same amount I just told her a study participant stole from me while doing data collection:"This is a University, you can't round your invoice to the nearest quarter hour"

Me: Timed & invoiced by the minute there's still no way the number you have is correct

Is there like a German word for when you hear someone you knew died and you're sad about it but only because it happened before the well deserved ass kicking you would have given them if you had run into them one more time while they were alive?

This is very mf important. Seriously, scrub the tough talk from your timelines before it's not a joke anymore.

I said,"Do the press, get the mess." in reference to how winding up in the media is one of the best ways to get your group surveilled recently and I think it's one of the most catchy and true things I've ever said. Did anyone say it before me or can I guiltlessly take credit for coming up with it?

Official city correspondence sent by a council member about the Mayor (who has a recall vote petition circulating).

The infighting among corrupt conservative city leaders: Great

The fact that they're already in power and we can barely not bicker long enough to do some mutual aid: Not so great

I channeled my anger and fear into this article and I'd love for you to read it.

"Just because conservatives can’t stop thinking about me naked doesn’t mean I deserve to be reduced to their skewed image. My life is so much richer and more full than they could ever imagine."

A Gun For Jennifer is on Tubi. It was made by an NYC stripper in the 90s, has a riot grrrl soundtrack & a performance by Tribe 8, and is about dancers using the strip club as a base to get violent revenge on rapists. It rips link.tubi.tv/RXxWbzbSvRb

We're supposed to sympathize with the housed people and the cops that this is s nuisance - that such a nuisance wouldn't exist if someone was housed.

And this is how criminality is softly promoted. "Look, what a nuisance, urgh these people won't even get any help, what else can a cop do!"

Promoting "good cop" stories just entrenches fascism. It is designed to deliberately dull your anger against a system slowly killing you.

Don't fall for it.

AND STOP POSTING PICTURES OF PEOPLE'S FACES AT PROTESTS YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER ALREADY 🤦🏻‍♀️

A constitutional crisis is frightening, but since more of us are looking critically at how we are governed because of who's in office, we should contend with the idea that the Constitution itself is a crisis for our rights.

Y'all, the document that governs us allows slavery for basically any crime.

Those fighting this admin based on the "rule of law" need to go one step further in your minds:

What law are you appealing to, and who does that law actually serve? What will you do when/if they take judicial fights to SCOTUS and SCOTUS rules the illegal thing now legal? Just say, "Oh well?"

Roses are read.
The violence is blue.
The revolution is here,
What do you plan to do?

"Many of the officials I’ve befriended and advised over the last quarter-century...have told me they consider it their responsibility to set public opinion aside and deal with the economy as it exists by the hard numbers. For them, government statistics are thought to be as reliable as solid facts."

"It's not fascism, it's just capitalism."

Soooooooo close to the point.
So close.

Israel Admits It Violated The Ceasefire And Hamas Did Not

So it’s been established beyond a doubt that Israel is to blame for the precarious state of the ceasefire today. That’s not coming from me, it’s coming from inside the Israeli government and military.

(And I don't only say it to make myself feel better about only having invested in my own artistic enough to be fairly mediocre at them, but it does help that feeling a bit too 😅)

There's a reason I often bring up the fact that rich/famous people usually don't get that way without making significant compromises in who they will align themselves with and making choices that advance them individually vs investing energy heavily in dismantling power/strengthening community
