I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Got an email letting me know my Livejournal is a quarter century old which is pretty wild It feels like not so long ago that it turned ten years old and that seemed like a lot Time has definitely compressed for me in a weird way

Happy to share some little tidbits of hope 🖤 Another one I’d like to share is that in this field, there are so many incredibly determined people who will never give up, and that also, the kids are alright: a generation of very bright and devoted environmental legal experts is coming up

TEXANS: October 24-25 is the ONLY WEEKEND we have to vote early in this year's midterm elections. Don't wait until the last minute. Vote early — now through Friday, October 30 — or on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3. Learn more at aclutx.org/vote.

Seeing folks defend gen AI audiobooks is so gross. So fuck the narrators, huh? Virtual voice is bullshit and yes, you’re part of the problem. I don’t care that you feel entitled to an audiobook. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO EVERYTHING. I hate this mindset. Get over yourselves.
