BlueSky insanity. A Harris presidency looking just like the Trump presidency? Murderous troops in the streets, war in Iran, just idiot leftists looking to excuse their inaction in 2024 rather than accept that yes, you did this.

Someone got ahold to my debit card & I leave the country tomorrow… I usually like to have a certain amount of cash when I leave πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ just in case, since everyone doesn’t take Amex.

The devil is busy.

But I spent 2.5 years saving the points for this flight and hotel. I will ENJOY BY ANY MEANS.

This feels like one of many things that would be getting more prominent headlines if we hadn't started a new war in Iran

One of the main reasons I’m leaving education after this year wraps up. There’s far too many adults playing admin while actually acting like high schoolers. And the worst of it is it’s in grade school now too.

I HAVE PAID MORE THAN MANY OF YOU KNOW for being a real nigga.

I have PAID.

I have paid in loss of access, opportunities, resources, job mobility, etc.

All of these things are connected.

It’s partly also why the STEM folx who hate DEI didn’t care until they saw how connected DEI and science illiteracy and support were.

Many people in academia are experiencing power & popularity for the first time and are using this to get their revenge of nerds fantasies off.

Others simply hate the idea of anything other than white supremacy.

The entire point of buying Twitter was to change who has storytelling power + coolness

The sooner we all accept that academia is filled with people previously bullied multiple times over in life, who thus struggle to stand up for anything BC likability and agreeability matters more than what’s fair, just, or right, the easier everything becomes.

Hear me out…

A screen shot of an Instagram post of a before and after of one of my favorite fitness influencers fitgurlmel. The caption reads: fitgurlmel Taking care of your body changes everything.Fitness, good habits, and showing up for yourself daily doesn't just improve how you look, it changes how... more. (It is cropped). 

On the left she’s 19 and wearing a tube top and jeans. On the right right she’s in a bra and panties at age 40 looking strong and curvy.

When I think about my body goals, it’s something closer to this than looking like a prepubescent 12 year old.

I appreciate this conversation.

I’m also in a weird space because boy there’s a lot of people mad at me because I didn’t stay β€œthick.”

I was denied extra life insurance recently because of my health history. We thought I was dying last year. I lost weight to save my fucking life.

France dumps Zoom and Teams as Europe seeks digital autonomy from the US European governments are moving away from U.S. tech giants, opting for domestic or open-source alternatives.

Just caught up with this:

France is dumping Zoom and Teams. So are soldiers in Austria. And bureaucrats in Germany.

They are seeking digital sovereignty, autonomy from the American tech oligarchs.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Not to mention sometimes we actually know each other. It’s not conversation that exists solely for education/entertainment of others. This was a big problem on bird app of yore. To the point ppl would get vex and then lie on specific Black ppl, not realizing their lies relied on us being strangers.
