Gratitude: how sometimes, you meet someone and you just CLICK perfectly
Friendly reminder that Palintir is a "trusted partner" with the Oura ring. Worth giving some quality thought to how much surveillance state you want to be a voluntary part of
Went to a thing today - I was hoping for "Scholastic Book Fair" vibes, but got "open call for Hallmark movie optioning auction" vibes.
There's a lot I kinda love about getting older, but man, when the drawbacks hit, they are humbling
It brings me a probably unhealthy amount of joy that every hobby I have is actually THREE hobbies: A) the activity B) collecting supplies for said activity C) cataloging/ organising said supplies

JFC. People really don't understand they're waiving their 4th amendment rights with this, do they?
nilay patel@reckless.bsky.social · 2w agoAmazon is rolling out a thing where they are pulling small business data into their store to "streamline" shopping for folks. There's a million reasons not to do this, not least of which is the small business has no opt in/out. 1/
If you ask every person you've ever dated for the empirical evidence they have on hand to determine you're hot to them? To define their rubric of "hot"? Turns out that might be a sign of autism.
The number of people who fundamentally misunderstood what I was saying here is astonishing to me. I understand why the corporate shills made the decision. That's not the question. The question is "how do I live knowing exactly, in yet another way, how little health and lives mean to these people?"
Lizifer. Yeh, just like my big bro Luci.@lizifer.bsky.social · 2w agoI don't know how to get over the fact that companies immediately were like "eh, fuck our customers" as soon as US food safety standards were legally loosened.

I'm so tired of watching people throw away strong, healthy relationships for NRE
As hard as it is to believe, that is the actual position of the so-called law and order party.
Things Gavin Newsom has vetoed this week: -A ban on secretly recording people with smart glasses -A ban on ICE agents working for the state government -A ban on websites selling your data -A bill giving native tribes more say over water rights -A bill protecting transgender healthcare providers
It keeps blowing my mind that there are people who think they don't know trans people. Like, bish, I've known trans folx for over 20 years - before I had the language for it, I knew boys with a rack and girls with peen. What's hard about it?
