tired but trying I'm in STL. We make it harder here. agitator dissident - in the havel sense disintegrating - i hope positively magical queer mostly benevolent pushing the rock of persuasion
Correct.
One criticism of this endorsement that I don't see in any of the reactions is that SURJ doesn't reference Mainers of color or Maine organizations in this endorsement and so it is yet another example of outsiders not talking to or even noticing Mainers of color and their perspectives
ANTI RACIST who has a Nazi tattoo and says black people don't tip
WORKING CLASS who went to Hotchkiss and poured drinks for DC elites
it’s exhausting, as it’s created to be; it also means that i, attempting to be discerning, am much more apt to share things i feel confident about based on my own education, but folks shouldn’t have to be years-worth of confident in a subject matter to feel as though they can trust something 😮💨
I think they are assholes and this was an asshole envisioned/built product.
I have a few acts on a list for them they can commit.
As once would expect from her. She's great.
I should be surprised that a company thought it was a good idea to steal the identities and work of experts to create fake versions of them to exploit and didn't think there would be profound blowback, but it's the golden age for assholes
Good, but you have to ask what they were thinking doing this in the first place
it's fascinating because tech billionaires already enjoy a U.S. tech and business press that's basically a glorified extension of product marketing, and that's still not good enough for them
the fact that a handful of outlets dig into real world social implications of bad choices is intolerable
I really hate the whole "fuck that red state" shit I keep seeing regarding all issues but especially queer ones.
Sorry for my language, Mom. But it is insufferable.
Lots of us live here you know.
The way this applies to an unlimited number of weirdo weird things about this regime.
The mixture of fascism, grift, and incompetence that goes into making SECRET POLICE trucks for your secret police is such a good distillation of this administration
They need to learn some things.
I'm reposting myself because THIS RESPONSE IS MY CURRENT ETHOS.
My lack of capacity in dealing with things going in a way I'd very much not prefer has always been a core personal issue and it sucks to have that particular dynamic writ large everywhere I look society wide.
I HATE IT SO MUCH. But, denying it serves no purpose. I miss your face, friend. <3
All these fuckers throwing money into money furnaces all around us while other people starve and sweat about rent and just struggle to survive.
I know it has always happened but it is so overt right now.
Painful.
Only that one? Naw.
I mean we are trapped in a shitty bro timeline.
Of course after a little tantrum as a treat I try to get off my ass and grapple with reality.
“Everything is workable if we work with what is.” That truth is harder to hold on to lately I have to admit.
Thanks. I’m sorry her last days were tarnished by that cursed election. But dying eventually takes your mind off of politics and we had the best experience a family could.
She was right about the rest of us being stuck with this shit though. It does suck.
I always thought grammarly was a trash company and now I am proven correct by a magnitude of forever.
Right now this seems like the best option available to us tbh.
Sloppelganger is perfection.
For the sake of fucks!
My Mom died days after Trump was elected the second time. She told me she was sorry we had to live in this world.
She found it hard to believe he was elected.
I’m glad she’s not living through this.
I really wish removing Trump
from the picture would eviscerate all of the disease but we have so very far to go.
Imagine the people who have any capacity for surprise at his behavior or worse those who are using him?
Imagine the people who still cheer him on?
We are really in the soup.
I just can’t is becoming my go to.
I used to be better at controlling my anger in the face of this kind of incompetence. 30 years in tech, woof.
Start for the catchy title, stay for the brilliant analysis and the Solnit quote.
Five years later magic 8 ball says ITS EVEN WORSE NOW.
