as a people pleaser, maybe part of why i love enemies to lovers stories because it reminds me that i don’t have to change myself to be universally palatable to be likable. maybe someone will find me very annoying and still like me a lot.

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!
![Graphic with multiple picket signs that reads "[up arrow] Minimum Salary", "4 day Work Week", and a big cancel sign over "AI Replacing Jobs" and so much more.

having cats has done a lot to help me reset my achievement-centric mindset. do i expect anything of my cats besides them just being their cute selves? no. do i find them absolutely perfect as they are and deserving of care, food, and shelter, without having to earn it? yes.

advocating for my needs makes me a difficult patient that medical staff don’t want to deal with and not advocating for my needs means none of my needs get met 🙃

Tune into @TexasStandard now to hear about how Texas schools are using AI to screen library books for content banned under a new state law, SB 13.

Supporters see ChatGPT as a way to help weed out inappropriate content, but critics say AI can include incorrect details and miss valuable context.

Zohran Mamdani wins!
He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.
Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

i was reading someone write about how some perfectionism might come from a lack of a signal that something is done rather than the need for everything to be perfect—i really related to that, as i don’t think my brain ever thinks anything is done

You want to democratize "going to therapy"? Make it "free" as in paid by socialized healthcare. You want to democratize "making art"? Give people money and free time to express themselves.

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?
