these companies profit off of holding our stuff for ransom with intentionally alarming and urgent UX.

Sorting, deleting, and downloading this stuff is not convenient, but I think this experience will help me make better decisions about digital storage now and in the future.

Just kinda sick of the subscription life and canceling everything I can. Cancelled Google 1 and now dealing with downloading and saving this stuff elsewhere. It has made me think a lot about what I save and how. Digital media is so easy to hoard and

Yet another variety of cop has arrived—NIPAS/assorted suburban Illinois cops from various departments recruited for riot control.

Dogs barking.

ISP just gave another warning, ordering protesters to disperse or potentially face chemical weapons or "pain compliance techniques."

One of the many ways I know my dad is totally brainwashed is the way he would try to counter with, "But what if BIDEN did it?"

I would still oppose any injustice committed because this is about integrity and values, not an individual.

These skills are about to become incredibly important. I hope we will remember to honor those who helped us survive. I hope that this time we will not erase history.

In this new world -- the new world that is now struggling to be born -- we will have to make chosen community. We will have to take care of each other. We will have to lay down our egos.

I had dealt with men whose fragile egos turned them into tortured shadows of their true selves; men whose inability to control their anger turned them into lonely ghosts of their potential. I had learned to not only regulate my emotions but their emotions as well.

Of course I initially felt the surge of ego, but I was somehow able to let it go. I don't know what gave me that intellectual sophistication in my early twenties. Maybe it was graduating from my abusive father to an abusive high school boyfriend ...
