I was with my coach this morning, and we talked about what aspects of my feminine energy I should tap into. It had me asking what does “being a man” mean? The I saw this later this morning.
Talking about an aspirational vision of masculinity on The View last week.👇🏻

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

i don’t even like the term “hallucination” to describe what LLMs do, because it grants the key premise that must be denied: that these string-prediction automatons cognize anything at all, rightly or wrongly

I was really disgusted about the Repubs saying that looking at 401k declines now is wrong and how folks need think of that as a long-term investment. Sure, that’s an option to my mother who was told 2 months ago she had 6 years until she’s out of money. I can’t imagine it now.

I went on FB and insta to post a photo; it was the first time in weeks. Roughly two-thirds of my feed was ads and sponsored posts. Gross.

“All comfort has done is maintain the status quo.” Today, I feel comfort is letting the powerful others take things away from those who need it. Those who really deserve it.
I play this video from @luvvie.bsky.social often to inspire me.
All you had to do was vote for the black woman. Still mad

I just watched @luvvie.bsky.social’s TED Talk, Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable, and I love her energy.
She calls herself a troublemaker. I don’t think I am but maybe I’m a spacemaker... making room for others by showing up as myself.
Still thinking about that...

There is a lovely senior couple down the street who are always so sweet when we walk by with the dogs. Yesterday, I realized they swapped their Tesla for a Ford Mustang EV. I love them.
