As a dude who has worked in the elementary education and health care advocacy/outreach fields… yep. And since my name ends in an A, I get to see how people talk to my colleagues because they assume I’m not a dude.

women are about 78% of the healthcare workforce in america. i know people know this but it’s always worthwhile to state it outright. not only is it gendered to underpay healthcare workers but men who get “caught up” in it are undervalued for doing female-coded work. same with teachers.

It will never not bother me how often when you’re talking to someone — in life, for work, w/e — who is struggling that that person works in healthcare. Nurses, orderlies, home health aids, people who draw blood, etc

These people keep your loved ones alive often in their worst moments, and we as a country and a people make them suffer, as a policy choice

Given our current political situation, I think “hours” is the only hope of the counter going up above zero.

A minor indignity of all of this is the sheer tonnage of boring dweebs cosplaying as jock/tough guys. Walz had the right idea with “weird” and it had traction in August ‘24, then the Carville set chimed in. These fucking nerds should have been swirlied into oblivion and instead…

an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation

People criticize baseball players for keeping a little note card in their pockets to remember their defensive alignments, and I think we should hold cops to an even higher standard than a corner outfielder.

A tweet by Mark Kretschmann showing two photos of the xAI office on Grokipedia release day. The office is filled with small camping tents set up between desks and along hallways, suggesting that engineers have been sleeping there while working late. The caption notes it’s early morning and the engineers are still in their tents, joking that a good night’s sleep does wonders.

This is that West Wing brain of “there are only [x] people in the world who can craft messages so perfect and talk to people so good you can’t just chuck one out the window when you find them!” No actually. It’s a skill many can learn with practice.

Listening to @zachlowenba.bsky.social league pass rankings and he said Stacey

A Black man wouldn't be elected if they have gold teeth. A woman wouldn't get elected if any boudoir photos of her exist, anywhere. No current Nazi tattoos is a really, really low bar to get over. (And the evergreen reminder that if Platner were Black we wouldn't even be having this conversation.)

Absolutely agree except the only Lexus owner I’ve known personally is an incredibly sweet woman who “just wanted to do something nice for myself,” after years of care work. A true “bless your heart” moment.

The Lexus December to remember campaign is especially baffling. “Merry Christmas honey! I got you some GREAT no money down financing without consulting you! And also this giant bow cost like $300!”

I dislike "big tent." I like "solidarity." Solidarity holds on even when it's unpopular, which is dangerous, but it doesn't let people go. I distrust those willing to give up this group to get that group while saying "we need all groups." We DO need all groups; so hold tightest to marginal groups.

The democracy that's being dismantled is our American democracy. The research and medical and educational institutions that are being destroyed are American institutions. Not uniquely American, but they're American. I'm an American, and this is my country they're breaking.

It's okay to say that.
