Sending love to my Arab and Muslim friends right now. I see the Islamophobia and racism you're experiencing right now. It's not okay. And this Jewish woman says you're awesome and I'm proud to stand with you. (The only thing I'm mad about is not being able to vote for Mamdani OR El-Sayed.)

Folks, I didn't make rent and a huge bill just hit on top of it. I am still looking for work. I badly need to raise $600 this month
When people ask me why I hate AI, in terms of my job, this is the part I say over and over - the destruction, for no good reason, of a social contract.
media when maga wins an election: we must travel the country and speak to these voters and extend empathy to them and give credence to their bigotry and false beliefs media when the left wins an election: is this the end of the american experiment
genuinely embarrassed to be struggling as much as I’ve been this year. but I only have $50 in my account right now and I’m really freaking out about everything. I’ve been supporting my family for a while, and without even realizing it, drained my bank account doing more than I could afford.
I love you all but you are incredibly (understandably) reactive. It’s making you SO easily manipulated by rage baiters. When you see something without context, a headline or a snippet of a quote, take a deep breath and look into it to see if you really should be upset. Please protect your hearts.
A reminder: If you absolutely cannot boycott Amazon, don’t. But can you make them NOT your default? If every Amazon customer cut their spending by just 10%, Bezos would burst his facelift sutures. This doesn’t have to be an all or nothing.
If you see this, quote with a song lyric you love (you feel like it) Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable And lightness has a call that's hard to hear And I wrap my fear around me like a blanket I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it I'm crawling on your shores
If you see this, quote it with a song lyric you love (if you feel like it) I was a lonely teenage broncing buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck I knew I was out of luck the day the music died.

One thing @shivaniswriting.bsky.social and I have in common is a love of sharks, so when I found these enormous shark rubies as earrings, I knew I had to grab them and make pendants for me and Shiv. 😆 Shiv has legit gone on shark tagging excursions.

If you're having a tough day, I highly recommend giving your brain a break with the @explore.org livestream of Sea Lion Beach in British Columbia, where you will currently see piled-up sea lions in a snoozy cuddle puddle www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uoo...
I've read most of the books on @tressiemcphd.bsky.social's proposed reading list and plan to read the rest. These are excellent recommendations. In fact, @gilduran.com (author of The Nerd Reich) will be a guest on Movement Memos soon.

petty, maybe, but it always gets me, a person with adhd and aphantasia that would never use ai, when people claim adhd and aphantasia is the reason they *need* these in their life no, you're just a mark
In a videogame roleplay server I'm in they just banned AI and this person flipped out, saying that because of her ADHD she needed it to manage her whole life and it turned out she had even been making her *tiny* game posts with it too! Then she called it her friend. Terrifying shit. She ragequit
