Human woman. Passionate about food, poetry, art history, social justice and equity, mutual aid. Jane Elgee apologist, rabid girls' girl.
Thinking about a former employer who used to send me lists of "non-negotiable" demands every morning. He rarely thanked me for my work, and his demands were always extremely dumb.

If I ever try to work for a cis man with a god complex and little man syndrome again, please smack me in the mouth.

A little life update.

Without too much awful detail, I've been experiencing a particularly awful/relatively rare complication of having a uterus, whilst also suffering through an awful sore throat.

@goreckis.co really came in clutch and has been a single dad for several days. Show him some love.

Also footage of me trying to convince candidates not to sink their campaigns by letting ChatGPT write their entire platforms.
Actual footage of every sane person in every industry, trying to talk AI addicts out of letting ChatGPT drive their work/the industry/the economy into brain rot hell.

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring:

"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

Sometimes the body works really hard to create a perfect storm of hormonal catastrophe and depression and physical pain, and then well-meaning people ask you to make it rally for a Zoom conference on effective activism.

Let's add some leftist guilt to the mix, for flavor.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Just watched @russellcleveland.org's "progressive" campaign update their platform to remove:

1. Any mention of the LGBTQ community
2. Women
3. Abortion
4. PUBLIC education
5. Affordable housing

What a profound disappointment. If this is the best @montanademocrats.org can do, burn it all down.

If you have more than 10k followers mutuals should be able to hit a “you’re being weird” button and once it gets to 50 clicks in 24 hours it sends you a pop up like “your friends are concerned. Maybe log off”

An AI executive asked me to review a book she'd had Claude write for her.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

“ABC11 spoke with Lori Lober, a study participant. Initially, she was given a grim prognosis, with median survival rate of less than 2 to 3% for five years. However, the trial at Duke Health gave her new hope. She has remained disease-free for 24 years.”

I could cry.

I've spent 11 years surrounded by political operatives, and I've found that they're all more or less the same.

I don't mean the community organizers. You know who I mean. The social climbers. Narcissist AI/tech execs running anti-PAC campaigns and poor-mouthing to feel relatable to underpaid staff;

Sometimes I think that time in high school when a girl I knew to be an excellent singer overheard me singing and demanded that I sing louder, and instead of embracing my main character moment, I said something incredibly awkward and physically ran away.

I was not built for the spotlight.

AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) is a right wing fascist lobby group that supports WAR CRIMINAL Netanyahu. Any politician that is even partly supported by the group should be thrown out of office. That includes almost all republicans, and even a few democrats.

This is heartbreaking.

We are being told to isolate ourselves until we rely on for-profit tech even for the illusion of human connection.

I am terrified for Gen Alpha, and as a parent of more than one of them, I will fucking throw hands at anyone advocating for this shit.
