Human woman. Passionate about food, poetry, art history, social justice and equity, mutual aid. Jane Elgee apologist, rabid girls' girl.
Just watched @russellcleveland.org's "progressive" campaign update their platform to remove:

1. Any mention of the LGBTQ community
2. Women
3. Abortion
4. PUBLIC education
5. Affordable housing

What a profound disappointment. If this is the best @montanademocrats.org can do, burn it all down.

If you have more than 10k followers mutuals should be able to hit a “you’re being weird” button and once it gets to 50 clicks in 24 hours it sends you a pop up like “your friends are concerned. Maybe log off”

An AI executive asked me to review a book she'd had Claude write for her.

Sometimes the body works really hard to create a perfect storm of hormonal catastrophe and depression and physical pain, and then well-meaning people ask you to make it rally for a Zoom conference on effective activism.

Let's add some leftist guilt to the mix, for flavor.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

If you own a Starbucks bear cup, I assume that your IQ is under 95 and your moral compass points directly at JD Vance's Peter Thiel-shaped asshole.

“ABC11 spoke with Lori Lober, a study participant. Initially, she was given a grim prognosis, with median survival rate of less than 2 to 3% for five years. However, the trial at Duke Health gave her new hope. She has remained disease-free for 24 years.”

I could cry.

I've spent 11 years surrounded by political operatives, and I've found that they're all more or less the same.

I don't mean the community organizers. You know who I mean. The social climbers. Narcissist AI/tech execs running anti-PAC campaigns and poor-mouthing to feel relatable to underpaid staff;

Sometimes I think that time in high school when a girl I knew to be an excellent singer overheard me singing and demanded that I sing louder, and instead of embracing my main character moment, I said something incredibly awkward and physically ran away.

I was not built for the spotlight.

AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) is a right wing fascist lobby group that supports WAR CRIMINAL Netanyahu. Any politician that is even partly supported by the group should be thrown out of office. That includes almost all republicans, and even a few democrats.

This is heartbreaking.

We are being told to isolate ourselves until we rely on for-profit tech even for the illusion of human connection.

I am terrified for Gen Alpha, and as a parent of more than one of them, I will fucking throw hands at anyone advocating for this shit.
Nightmarish idea for a startup tbh

I have no interest in working with anyone who believes generative AI is a net good. It's the fastest way for me to lose respect for any professional.

The emperor is wearing no clothes. You think people can't tell, but everyone can. The people telling you that they can't are either lying or dumb.

Reminder that Congress is being paid during the shutdown.
US soldiers stationed in Germany and civilian employees of the US armed forces are not receiving any salary or other payments.

They are being fed by food banks and charities in Germany.

@reuters.com also just reported that US military base workers in Italy are being fed by charity too.
