Keep in mind that it’s not just the cost of filling *your* tank which is skyrocketing…the cost to every *truck driver* is also spiking, which means the cost of whatever they’re transporting will go up as well…

I used to hate International Women's Day until I spent the day in Tijuana where it was a riot against the patriarchy. Where race and imperialism was at its core.
Happy International Women's Day to the women who fight.
I had to eliminate mine entirely and it only held for a month or so after having it for so few years after the last layoff 🫠

Eliminated mine for the second time (first being COVID) just trying to stay afloat as I near 9 months unemployed (did you know that CA's unemployment is actually awful?)
But hey, millenials were never going to get to retire anyway.
I don't ever want to hear that it's wrong to call them Nazis again.

Happy International Women's Day. Get ready for a little thread of incredible ladies that I think you should support instead of RTing the same dumb daylight savings joke from a dude.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game
My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...
This was true about the depression a bad therapist tried to diagnose me with as a child — I wasn't depressed, I was trapped with my abusers.
This was NOT true about my anxiety disorder, which has followed me through financial stability and back again (though it's certainly worse during strife).
Bad news round two for the same kind of dingbat: it's now essential to build a community instead of just an audience, and conflating the two no longer works in the way that they'd hoped.
Of course, we're all currently trapped on the ride with them. But the world ain't over. Just changing.
What's most frustrating for all of the techbros who have bought up websites and turned them into content farms is that original opinion pieces and the work of strong, expert personalities is the best way to shield your site from getting hit as badly by these overviews.

When politicians don't honor their promises, our work is to make them. To do that, we have to build enough power to make them. I understand why people get disappointed but this is unfortunately how things work in politics.
