Me, a person who is regularly asleep before 10pm: Oh it’s the time change tonight, I should try to go to sleep a little earlier
Also me, right now, at 9:30pm: 👁️👁️👁️
Every time I finish a season of Bridgerton, I want to rend my garments with frustration that 1000 better historical romance adaptations haven’t been green lit by now. GIVE THEM TO MEEEEEE
Meanwhile, the article is paywalled because we can’t even get information for free anymore 🫠
You can't reform death squads And you shouldn't want to
Making new posters
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go.
Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go.
Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go.
As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

I still constantly gaslight myself about whether I really have ADHD, but then some mornings before the Vyvanse has kicked in, I find myself simultaneously knitting and reading a book while chewing on my lip and rubbing my feet together, and I’ll think, “I should put on a podcast”.
So interesting that you never see Leftists posting “it’s not Left and Right, it’s X and Y” takes, huh? Almost like the people that applies to are two sides of the same coin and the rest of us are really fucking tired of just flipping it back and forth instead of throwing it back in the mfing forge.
What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things
Too bad, slopguy
lol this is such a perfect review
"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.
I understand that YouTube is the dominant cultural delivery method of our age but i genuinely don’t understand it. I don’t want video of my audio entertainment. I listen while I’m doing other things. I don’t even know what the use case would be for me.
The constant whiplash of being fed content where half the people are saying “we’re years away from AI surpassing humans” and the other half are saying “actual thinking machines do not exist” is fucking exhausting.
If you’re lacking some joy this holiday season, may I offer up that we watched some of the 2018 Grinch movie with our not-quite-2-year-old tonight and he kept pointing at the screen and asking why the “green puppy” was so mad.
your regularly scheduled reminder that my page is one without any tolerance for generative AI, and that tech dependent on theft and environmental harm is not a source of empowerment for anyone
This is why I hated every debate in uni philosophy classes about whether or not humans are inherently self-interested. Like, yes and no and it actually just doesn’t matter because most of what’s in our individual best interest is also in the best interest of our collective.
There’s a real trend of taking “self-care” to extremes & isolating under the guise of “putting myself first” and so much of it is just a lie (insert anti-capitalist rant here). Truly one of the best things to do *for yourself* when you’re under-resourced is to go take care of someone else.
Been feeling godawful all week - so stressed and like nothing I do makes a difference or has any real value. Drag myself out of the house this morning to help a friend - cleaned their kitchen & helped them with some admin tasks - and suddenly I feel filled with love and hope and capacity.
I know I’m such a broken record about it, but community care is everythiiinnnngggg!!
Love you so much, friend ❤️ and I hear you. I feel like it can be so so frustrating trying to figure out why our brains have problems with one thing (or even half a thing!) and not another.
At this point, this is akin to polling feudal peasants about whether the evil king should have to give up some of his land.
the good that you do persists in this world
Anyway, just wanted to put that out there because I know just how intensely a lot of us internalize the “no, but *I’m* actually just lazy and broken and wrong” message.
You’re really not, I promise ❤️
I don’t really even *see* the laundry in that state until I suddenly realize I have no clean clothes, and *then* the internal screaming starts.
Like yes, sometimes I’m internally screaming at myself to do laundry, but (especially pre-meds) much more of my experience with executive dysfunction has looked like living in a thick fog where the tasks I can’t seem to accomplish exist only as a vague, nagging sense of guilt and shame.
I frequently see executive dysfunction vs laziness framed as internally screaming at yourself to do a thing rather than choosing to do something else. While that is very often true, I rarely see anyone talk about how dissociation can play into the experience and how much harder that can be to parse.
Omg!?
Ugh yeah, I unfollowed ages ago
Booooooo
