you're not dumb, everything you described is extremely relatable. I think I'm just a little further ahead on the, "oh hey I have issues with ignoring body signals and pain" journey but it's ALL VERY SIMILAR

I'm just glad nothing more serious happened to you because apparently stones dislodging can block your pancreas and cause all sorts of shit to go haywire or make organs go septic

I cannot imagine having a persistent gallbladder attack, I got chastised myself for not going to the ER after my really bad one

Holy shit, 2-3 YEARS? I had gotten intermittent attacks that lasted an hour or two for awhile but a handful of all-nighter attacks got me to go straight to a GI specialist and with an abrupt diet change, kept myself stable and painfree until surgery

Okay, question because I'm so curious - did you actually get your gallbladder taken out? I had a few horrifying nights of being awake at probably a 9 or a 10 and then immediately saw an RN and got some tests done and had it yanked out several months later after changing my diet

Sign that says “Immigrants welcome, ICE NOT/ Free Palestine” on the front of the Astoria Food Pantry in Queens.

Please consider giving to the Astoria Food Pantry, which serves immigrants in Queens, many of whom have been prevented from going to work because of fear of ICE raids. The line of those waiting for food was down the block when I passed by today. www.astoriafoodpantry.com/donate-money...

A lot of tastemakers in pop culture are marginalized in some way (gender, sexuality, race, etc.) and so I find people who scoff at it tend to ignore how often tastemakers influences are derided, ripped-off, undervalued, etc.

People acting like pop culture is beneath serious discussion is frustrating to me personally (I love it) and also wrong (it’s one of the most common things to care about, which is why it is shorthand for “popular” culture) and also politically disastrous (politics IS downstream of pop culture)

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

Hello. For @reactorsff.bsky.social I wrote about the domestic side of the Fantastic Four and their comic and television roots.

One thing that doing creative work teaches you is that ideas are worth nothing. Anybody can have an idea. In a writers room you have to come up with a hundred ideas a day, and most of those don’t make the page. It’s the work of making something that gives it value. The patina of humanity.

Yasmein and her kids are still trying to cling to normalcy as best they can.
I've spoken to her many times, she's legit and your help DOES reach her.

Can you put in what you paid for lunch today? Maybe even just half??

I'm so sorry you got laid off, omg

you're rubbing off on me 𓆝

I think this is a sharp proposal: huge hospital systems in WI charge private insurers over 4x what Medicare pays. Capping those prices at 3x or even 2x of Medicare creates big savings — which can be invested in Medicaid to draw down federal funds & increase provider reimbursement

Neon, more and more but I think the idea that studios or production companies outside of very specific smaller ones don't do as much curation that would dictate watching every single film without any other info

Today, IGN Entertainment announced that it would be laying off eight members of the IGN Creators Guild. This is 12% of our bargaining unit, and comes just days after our sister union, the Ziff Davis Creators Guild, underwent similar layoffs impacting 15% of their members. It also comes just months after our multibillion-dollar parent company, Ziff Davis, instituted a company-wide buyout that shrunk our unit numbers, with the express intent of avoiding future layoffs. And it comes just a little over one year after three of our members were laid off almost immediately after our union went public. The company has told us that the reason for this layoff stems from a Ziff Davis-mandate to cut costs despite several quarters in a row of year-over-year revenue increases, to which IGN Entertainment responded by coming for our members' jobs. This is perplexing to us, as we are told again and again that IGN Entertainment has had a tremendously successful year thus far thanks to their hard work. In just the last few months, our members have been absolutely essential to major events and livestreams, including San Diego ComicCon, Summer of Gaming, and IGN Live. Every single person impacted today was involved in and critical to the success of those events. Meanwhile, IGN Entertainment continues to spend money on costly acquisitions, only to turn around and gut those companies in the same way it is cutting away at IGN itself. For instance, last year, it acquired Gamer Network, and almost immediately laid off a number of staff critical to making those sites successful. The company has not responded to the union's questions about whether its budget for future acquisitions is being reconsidered as a cost-saving measure alongside these other apparently necessary personnel cuts. At a time when it is more necessary than ever to support its creators, IGN Entertainment is choosing to eliminate the individuals who ensure IGN remains competitive as generative AI

threatens our reach. We have been told that expert opinion pieces, original interviews, and work that leverages our staff's deep knowledge of gaming, tech, and entertainment are all essential to combating AI summarization and regurgitation of our work. Management has responded by cutting several individuals who do that exact work, as well as others whose job it is to ensure that these written and video pieces are published in a speedy manner — another component of combating AI we're told is critical. This continued cycle of repeated, aggressive cuts to our staff and being asked to do more with less, only for management to continue to spend on new business it isn't interested in sustaining cannot continue. We will enforce our interim agreement that guarantees better severance and other protections to laid off members, as well as demand additional support for those impacted. We will continue to bargain over our first contract with the aim of enshrining even better protections against further layoffs, working conditions continuously degraded by understaffing, and the encroachment of generative AI. And we won't stop fighting to ensure IGN remains the best destination for trustworthy, original, exciting, and creative work covering video games, entertainment, and tech. While IGN Entertainment management may not value us, we value one another and the incredible work we can do together. Behind the articles, videos, social posts, playlists, and maps of IGN are human beings, not just numbers on a spreadsheet to be pushed around when some number at the top isn't big enough. Without us, there is no IGN.

Today, IGN laid off eight extremely valuable members of our union and workforce via directive from our parent company, Ziff Davis. This, after two incredibly successful live events IGN Live and SDCC, and yet another corporate acquisition.
