I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:

Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

An addendum to this reminder:

A large number of websites use content distribution services provided by #Amazon, and they've acquired a large number of other companies over time.

If you think you're gonna bring 'em down just by not using their stores or main website, I got some bad news for you.
Your reminder that Amazon...

-Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine
-Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund
-Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump
-Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

In Trump’s America, the right to bear arms now puts a target on your back
American conservatives have strayed far from the ideals they once held as sacrosanct.

His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

My abject apologies to the writers of Captain Planet, I didn’t realize that literal cartoon villains were just a few decades down the pike. Your gift of prophecy was unappreciated in your own time.

These are voices of Russian soldiers confessing to their families about crimes they’ve committed in Ukraine. It’s similar to confessions from Wagner paramilitaries who’ve committed numerous human rights abuses in Africa

It's Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, here in the US, & you know what that means! A bunch of people who would have called him n----r with the hard R or tone policed his rhetoric & tactics painting erroneous mythologies about who he was & what he stood for! 😃 So here's Letter From Birmingham Jail

Dear #youtubers,

Leave "America's most #racist man" alone.

Not because I respect him, I'm just sick of seeing his face pop up in my recommended videos.

Thank.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

They keep making watch lists and databases explicitly for the sake of destroying people—on top of literally just physically attempting to destroy the people they would put on those lists—then demand they aren't fascists.

#fuckICE #fuckWhiteSupremacy
Publishing the names of protesters and contacting their employers to have them fired for exercising their rights is a tactic straight out of the White Citizens Councils.
They're going to start using the Kirk witch hunt strategy.

Just… You know that OpenAI is going to basically correlate everything you do online in anything connected to their product, right? Like… Just like facebook used to do, but worse? Because they have connections across… way more sectors of supposedly private life than they should? You get that right?
