“wordcels” is frying me 🤣

i just know some free-speech absolutist is gonna be like “you can pry this steering wheel out of my cold dead hands” and try to drive in the blizzard after the 9pm curfew tonight because we live in the stupidest times that have ever existed

heard cameron winter in the wild (outside of my shitty laptop speakers) and okay i get it now lol

the computer should have never left this room. we have to go back

i can see their glittery-green beetle bodies in my mind's eye!

NELP, an org that has for 60 years advocated for workers' rights, is laying off up to 60 percent of its staff after mismanagement that includes inflated executive salaries — one ex: a 160k year-over-year increase for ED — as well as low-key union busting and other tactics.

Every day I spend time reducing the number of emails in my inbox and the next morning there are a bunch of new emails. Anyone have this problem

Bluesky peeps: if you are a social media strategist or content creator that makes things that Dems might, you know, message with, check out this sign-on letter encouraging the party to put aside some of that giant ad budget & invest in organic content creators (like us).

how i long for the times before i read this 😭

No Kings includes Draft Kings

i'm a millennial, i love going through the great recession every decade

ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to source internet culture for a gen-z-led progressive content hub

"consultantese" is frying me 🤣

all these years later it's still so incredible how good pete buttigieg is at using so many words to say absolutely nothing

so much clothing is marketed as "conversation starters" but as an introvert, i want "conversation enders." no more talking. let me go home.

(not getting likes because my Posts are bad) they must be preparing to cut over the firehose to a new relay
