Erin Mikail Staples is screaming into the void @erinmikail.bsky.social · Jan 21

In case you were wondering where I stand

- trans rights + affordable healthcare are human rights
- pride was a riot
- gender is a spectrum
- climate change is real
- vaccines save lives
- tr*mp is a facist
- free Palestine
- no human is illegal
- when the 4th estate bends democracy breaks

it is weirdly shocking that he can just ... tear down a big chunk of the White House. Like, motherfucker, you don't *own* the place.

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

I feel this. I honestly have come to appreciate people who post as their whole selves as much as possible online.

Several news organizations, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, Newsmax and NPR, have announced that their journalists will not sign a new set of Pentagon restrictions affecting news gathering in the massive military complex.

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

worried you're not getting your heart rate up enough?

get mad at watching what exactly (isn't) happening in the senate right now.

don't tell me that republicans want to "come together" when they're missing from the senate.

Democracy cannot function if the media refuses to highlight material government lies IN THE HEADLINES.

9th, 10th, 12th? Might as well not bother. That’s just burying it while trying to establish “but we noted it!” deniability.

Need lot of post-MAGA politics fixes, yes. But a ton of media ones too.

Not going to lie the recent improvements of audio transcription is wild.

Being able to dictate something and have our robot overlords transcribe it and clean it up has helped me significantly with tasks I’m not a fan of.

Things I trust more than RFK and his brain worm:

- the iPhones track record of correcting fucking to ducking

- crypto founder explaining why this time its different

- gas station sushi under a heat lamp

- titanic submersibles

- exxon-mobil’s sustainability department

- actual science

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos.

Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.”

Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel.

That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.
