in these troubling times of great stress and great uncertainty, I urge all my friends on here to remember that the most important thing we can do in our day to day is to be nice to me in particular

Honestly I get why cats lie in the sun. It feels good AF

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I told my friend I wasn’t sure if I hated myself enough to finish my doctorate and he said “think of it as committing to the bit”

I finally just unsubscribed from a nonprofit that I did a fundraiser with to go to Six Flags in the fifth grade

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Literally what the hell am I ever doing

One of the great paradoxes of life is that everyone who thinks they’re bad at their job has imposter syndrome, and everyone who thinks they have imposter syndrome is actually really bad at their job

I can’t stand when we omm in a yoga class and some pick me has to harmonize a major third above and make a little chordy chord out of it. Many of us have done choir in high school! We just don’t feel the need to make everything about ourselves!

This fb copypasta is ironic bc not only is it saying your worth is inherently tied to your product value, but it’s also admitting the easiest way to increase that value is by inflating it with artificial bottlenecks and price gouging instead of improving anything material about yourself 😍

I do believe in Inbox Zero but only for instagram and TikTok

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Watching TikTok’s of strangers: 👍🏻⭐️💯
Watching TikTok’s from people you know in real life: 🙊😳🙅🏼‍♀️

How did all the boston city council candidates get my number. why would texting me make me vote for you

Why would this help me make this recipe??

You know what would actually reduce crime and homelessness?

Universal healthcare, free education, affordable housing and a basic living wage.

When people have their most basic needs met, they have happier and healthier lives.

Those hoarding the wealth don’t want to give us those things.

Thinking about rebranding (putting my name in all caps on instagram)

The only way I can functionally network is by cosplaying a caricature of someone who is good at networking over email

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Thinking for no reason about the guy who made a software program like ~10 years ago now that fairly redistricted every election county, effectively ending gerrymandering, and the entire government said Nah

me crawling over everyone to board my window seat when I already kinda have to pee

TSA soft launching no longer giving a shit about liquids by not making us take them out of our luggage

Trying to imagine the establishment blowback if Bernie had stayed in the primary (after winning the first few caucuses!!) when the DNC wagons circled around Biden

In the academic job hunt seminar asking questions like “are you serious” and “why would anyone willingly put themselves through this”

Canceled my NYT subscription, even games, today. Ridiculous stuff, I hope they burn

I don't think NYT should know peace until they divulge the full chain of decision making that led to the laundering of Nazi propaganda against a leading anti-fascist politician the same day fascism was codified in Congress.

[me promising to visit Chicago for the sixth year in a row]: haha yeah man we gotta make it out there soon!

At this point what my right and left eyebrows do honestly feels like none of my business

I know I’m having an amazing summer because my screen time is up three hours a day

As a spectator on my boyfriend’s WFH Zoom meetings, the hardest part of white collar jobs appears to be taking yourself seriously while spouting a stream of unimportant horseshit
