I’m so tired.

It’s been 15 days, and I just got notified that my passport renewal was approved and shipped. Wow.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

I neeeeeed more regular news like this 💗

It's so funny to me how ppl complain about kids at brewery/community pub spaces w/arguments like, "they're dirty and they scream," "they run around like idiots," etc, & meanwhile their bros are shitfaced, yelling about sports, having bar brawls, missing the urinals, all while not being also cuties??

My passport recently expired, and since I got married in the last 10 years, I can't renew online. Sent in paperwork and old passport today... but given everything going on with the government, I'm genuinely wondering if I'll ever see my passport again. Fingers crossed. Looove being American rn yayyy

Contact the Governor | Governor of California You can contact the Governor a few different ways. The best way is through his online form.

Here's the contact info to let @gavinnewsom.bsky.social know you disagree with this executive order sending state workers back to the office: www.gov.ca.gov/contact/

It's cruel to force RTO when WFH works. This isn't a coddled millennial opinion; w/the high cost of childcare, gas, parking, housing, etc this EO translates to huge pay cuts. State jobs are already underpaid and our traffic & smog is already thick. I complained & you should too! Not cool, Newsom 👎

How do you not already have a million followers??? I didn’t know I wasn’t subscribed so I just did. Thanks!

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness."

Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

The book cover of the book I’m Laughing Because I’m Crying, a Memoir by Youngmi Mayer. The cover is blue-green and shows a young girl with a poked out lower lip, looking sad, walking in a dress through a grassy park.

Just finished this and it was so good on so many levels. Probably will read it again. Youngmi Mayer ftw. #bookSky

Happy bday!!

I can’t stop thinking about this sign 😂

It’s my first February living in Sacramento. I went on my usual walk today and had to…

…unfortunately…

(I can barely deal with this…)

…remove my outer layer of clothing.

😭😭😭😭😭

The horrid summer approacheth!$&@!!

I just went to a restaurant that serves this amazing dish called “carrots 3 ways” and thought of you… Carrot hummus, berbere spiced grilled carrot, and fried carrot ribbons. 😍

Wow!! I do remember that, that’s amazing, go you!! I’ve been eating a carrot every day but I need to up my carrot game if I’m gonna win the orangeness contest, looks like!!

While I usually appreciate the calm trickle of a waiting room fountain, I feel like if that waiting room is used to wait for medical tests that require you to pee in a cup, maybe skip the fountain idea in your decorating brainstorm?

the anger and sadness of sending your kindergartener off to school knowing he's going to have his first active shooter drill today 😭

It’s so hard to type about this with nuance but yeah I think what you’re saying makes total sense. In my work, the clients are healthcare patients - so, people who can’t afford to receive inaccuracy. So my patience with the hype is especially thin 🥺

A handmade sign that says “Monty and Adam’s Ramen Experience,” with a red bowl of ramen appearing at the bottom.

Ramen! Good ramen broth takes time and care. Can also make toppings throughout the day, such as ramen eggs, garlic oil… so many options. My 5yo helps his dad with this some weekends. Makes the house smell so good

Oh just reread, maybe you weren’t saying AI is replacing the workers but the govt is. I’m so over the AI hype and as someone whose literal job is AI research I still have yet to find any evidence of it remotely living up to it

I dunno if I agree. I see STEM as alive and well and benefiting from AI at the same rate as any other tech advances in the grand scheme. It’s another tool that’s useful in some contexts but the claims that it will replace tech workers seems designed to put these high earners in their place at best

I watch football once per year and I love it once per year

Serious barf

This is why the entire Elon Musk thing is so frustrating, watching it play out at this scale just makes me relive the stupidest times, constantly dancing around tech bro egos to fix shit when they could just tryyyy to understand for a second to get things right

Tech bros thinking they are soo smart is personally excruciatingly annoying for me to listen to. Had to work closely with many a Dunning-Krugery tech CEO/CTO - guys like this who are rarely open to the possibility that their thinking might be riddled with biases

Is it just me, or is giving a shit about other people considered far left now?
