Idk if this is corny to say or whatever but Ms Rachel is a radical human rights activist. Her work to advocate and create conditions for the dignity, rights, and respect for children as fully realized human beings In her discipline/practice as well as her politics is admirable beyond words Idek

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw
i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.
It’s a real mindfuck when most ppl wanna post about their latest failures/successes, or weird shit they saw in the wild or cool stuff they made…but the country is a cesspool so cool/weird shit seems trite.

wild to me that journalists got so scared of being called “liberal media” that they spent my entire adult life dismantling their own industry, reputation, and personal moral compasses. now journalism is an explicit arm of corporate fascism and they’re STILL scared of “having lefty bias” accusations.

Hey it's a new year, here's some life advice from me:
- any time you think to yourself "I'd love to do [creative endeavor], but I could never" — just do it. Learn embroidery, write a novel, try doing synchronized swimming, take a ballet class. The worst that could happen is you suck at it.

The music video I rediscovered this year was Funny Break (One is Enough) by Orbital, a song that makes me feel like crying for some reason sometimes? I think this had minimal play on MTV m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnr5...

The son of one of my mom’s friends, an otherwise healthy 40something, died from the flu last winter. A flu shot won’t even make you sick, just maybe give you a sore arm. Just do it!
not too late for a flu shot btw, flu historically often peaks in february and by all accounts it is pretty bad this year
Flu deaths exceeded COVID deaths last winter and we may be on track for the same thing this year!
