The news is always terrible so navigating multiple apps to ascertain the breadth and scope of The Horrors is exhausting.
I hope you’re making the best of it.
I hope part of your resistance is embracing Joy (when you aren’t kicking ass.)

Today marks the first day I’ve ever cried on Zoom.
I’m on a committee for a national organization related to my day-job, and our Executive Chair and her husband were killed last Saturday morning by a drunk driver.
Today was our first meeting without her.
She was an extraordinary & beautiful person.

I love Lance so much.

My first crush (high school best friend) Suddenly appeared in my comments section in response to recent events.
I am so grateful to have moved away from such a detrimental world (and my improved taste in men.)

And I resent the way companies are trying to force it. The other day Slack emailed saying they were adding AI to their product that already functions fine. I immediately cancelled that account. I don’t want it. It is not a benefit or feature. It is a yoke. I am happy on this hill even if I am alone

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

I am chafed by the attention the (unnecessary and harmful) upcoming adaptation of Harry Potter is getting.
Let me tell you something…
I *loved* that world.
I *adored* those books.
…and I would still be a champion of that world if its creator was a decent person.

I doubt Patti Lupone is a racist; she’s unapologetically brazen, disrespectful, and it’s easy to make her a villain. (And something tells me she mostly doesn’t mind.)

I keep thinking I’m going to say something like: “Expect a little less “Here’s Something Terrible” News sharing from me, and more “Here’s helpful information to resist” sharing.”
But as sure as I do, I’m going to go on a “Behold This Hideous Fuckery” sharing binge.

Literally impeach him every day. He breaks the law every single day.
Which federal crime did the President commit with this statement?
Was it 26 usc 7217, which prohibits the President or his aides from directing any tax enforcement action?
Or was it 26 usc 6103, which prohibits any government official from disclosing an ongoing tax proceeding?
Maybe both!

it really fucking sucks that I have a materially higher risk of dying of cancer because a bunch of dimwit voters in the Midwest were mad that their burrito taxi was too expensive
We were probably less than 20 years away from turning 95% of cancers into curable or chronic-but-not-life-shortening conditions. Now we've pushed that back by half a decade already in the last 3 months.
