It’s better than I remembered. He brought me one tape to trial digitize! This one’s from 1999 😭🥹 he has like 100 more. Honestly he didn’t even have a dj set up I’m amazed at how he got these mixes down. 10/10 music taste.

It’s incredible really, how often people speak up against adoption, and how frequently they are completely ignored. but when we, in solidarity with them, call for abolition of these inhumane systems we lose our jobs, are attacked, etc. Maybe listen to survivors.

Y’all these mosquitos tore my ass UP 😭 I got bites on my HEEEL!!!! The soles of my feet dawg. Any advice? Slather on Benadryl cream? I’m itching and they always swell up into big bumps

This touches on a few of the biggest sources of low morale for me:

- flood of AI slop lands in my inbox as peer review requests
- my critical reviews of said AI slop are then ignored by editors at Journals that won't give my work consideration
- all while I'm expected to ⬆️ research output
It's easy to see shoddy research as a bad actor problem. But if AI slop like this can make it through editors and peer reviewers, it means there are systemic problems at work. And I'd argue that at least part of the problem is the overwork culture in academia-- pressure to do more while caring less.
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

On LinkedIn someone said that asking ppl to talk about COVID in the present tense is pedantic. I disagree. It was Charles Sepulveda, who reminded me that when ppl talk about Indigenous people it is often use past tense, and he said that was so harmful for indigenous people. Language is essential

I love that this year, my parents gave up pretending that they like turkey. So now we just get to have a wonderful roast chicken 🥰🥰

2 years ago today my mentor saved my life, driving through like 9 hours of traffic to come and bring me plants, a kindle, some crystals and to braid my hair while literally speaking life into me. I fear had she not insisted on coming regardless if I wanted it or not, I may not be alive today.

President Trump issued an executive order this year that directed the attorney general to review the placement of 37 people whose death sentences were commuted by Biden. Many are now headed to a supermax prison notorious for its harsh conditions.

Trump officials are retaliating by imposing the harshest conditions in the entire federal prison system, including near total isolation.

Update! They finally scheduled me for an appeal. I wrote out a seven page document with all of the screenshots from my convos showing workers providing me incorrect info. I was sent an email today from the supervisor of SSA in Orange County trying to NEGOTIATE with me. Asking me if i wanted to
Here are my tips for getting the RIGHT information from caseworkers:

1) unfortunately youre going to have to read up on your policies. Check the social service agency website and your local independent resource centers. Call folks to help understand confusing rules. 2) keep records of everything.
So medicaid caseworkers continue to lie to me, and of course there’s no accountability for when this happens lmao but I digress. Here’s a psa for my working disabled buddies. Dont let ppl play in your faces youtu.be/Lg-BoXi9I7Q?...

Ppl trying to really focus on pre versus post “lockdown” in my comments on LinkedIn, entirely missing the point that that shit was not at all based in science and that disabled ppl and ppl actually concerned with their health are still largely in their homes lol
