I don't like these AI email summaries, even though I admit they can be helpful with large threads involving multiple senders and recipients over an extended period of time, coz it means the machines are reading my emails. I want my recipients to read my emails, not a third party robot.

Showtime on the train is only impressive, if you've never been to a drag show. We do mediocre dancing on rickety stages that could seriously hurt ourselves and the audience at any moment, too, but in show outfits, to better music, and in a different kind of bad lighting.

My father and I are talking, coz I want to buy a desktop PC and am insisting on his input. He keeps saying he doesn't keep up with computers anymore, but he's already stopped me from buying something with lower processing power and smaller RAM memory than I need, just bc it's cheap.

It’s not necessary to keep highlighting the qualities of exceptional immigrants as a reason for them to be treated well by their governments. We don’t have to be on our best behaviour to receive a basic level of human decency: that‘s why they’re called “human rights”, and not “human privileges”.

I don't believe any industry will self-regulate, coz (1) I've seen Kitchen Nightmares, and (2) I currently work in a senior home where I am instructed to turn a blind eye to so many things and advised to be "firmer with" (i.e. meaner to) the residents.

Make that 3!
I feel these producers/directors are coming to someone who never auditions, coz more trained actors may be dropping out of no-pay/low-pay gigs (which is the bulk of new theatre). The state is live preformance is bleak!

Just had to turn down a second theatre audition from people who know me well, and approached me with, "We have this character you'd play very well, and we want you to audition for it," coz I can't commit in terms of time and money.

I'm crafting a new act about how the Nativity of Jesus is the story of every child born during a time and place of conflict; I haven't gotten far, coz I keep listening to the music, and crying.

I've gotten SO MANY beautiful targeted ads from fast fashion lines. Took a chance on something—too large, subpar material, and needed alterations.
Now, I'm looking for winter clothes on Uniqlo, coz I know theirs work, but I don't like how things look.

I spent a summer in (around) Austin TX, and had a great time—largely coz it became a spiritual retreat hanging out with some local pagans. The fact that ATX has become synonymous with "conservative comedy" is really disappointing. It's actually home to the International Drag Fest.
