I do not want to see those faces of those perps, I do not want to read any more about them and their depravity, I don’t want jokes about it all. Like every woman everywhere, I’m looking at the shadow world we knew about exposed: that girls & women are collateral, objects, things. Be kind to us.

we need to start ostracizing doomscrolling / ipad baby behaviour like we do cigarette smoking. no scrolling indoors you gotta do it outside in a sad little circle around a power outlet, the same 30s snippet of doechii’s “anxiety” looping over the sound of traffic

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

There was this guy, let’s call him Pancho, who was the regional manager of a place I used to work. Pancho was obsessed with efficiency.

Insurers will not wait for governments to act, whether it's accurate or not. Welcome to unregulated climate risk.
Second town red-listed by AA Insurance for new home insurance policies
Locals say it's "baffling" AA will no longer issue new policies in Woodend - but for different reasons to its decision in Westport.

Road trips can be fun. Road trips with friends: great. Road trips with family: dicy. Road trips with the random crust punk dude from your office who you’ve literally never met IRL before and need to spend 3.5 hours locked in a speeding metal tube with: horrendous. Zero stars. Do not recommend.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

The tragic loss of lives in NZ flooding events this week are climate change deaths. Media and govt are avoiding the topic.
Leaders and commentators must acknowledge the emerging reality of ordinary summer rainstorms carrying volumes of water akin to tropical cyclones of previous decades.
