My pronouns are she/her but also no pronouns because why the fuck are you talking about me in third person? Keep my name out of your mouth.

I think the saddest part of it all is that just as the generation that experienced the horrors of WW II are dying we are seeing fascism rise again. Our species remembered that trauma for less than a century. The scars will never heal because the wounds keep ripping open.

for you to be like "Maybe having a theocratic ethno-state is bad." They want to be like "Netanyahu is the issue" but it literally cannot be just him. It is so obvious that Zionism itself is to blame. They're saying "remember amalek." When does this go too far?

I'm almost halfway through Kamala's book and on the one hand I am literally in tears over how much we could've had if she had won, but on the other hand I'm very frustrated that she refuses to take an anti-israel stance. She offers compassion for gaza but not support. Like what the fuck will it take

I do not understand why Sabrina Carpenter marketed her album the way she did. It is so like soft and dreamy I feel like the vibe should have been more y2k pixelated pink and purple twilight vibes. The album title itself doesn't match the songs at all. It just makes no sense.

I feel like you can just tell when stuff is AI. I'm amazing at that game where you select the image that is or isn't ai. It's just so easy to tell. Like why are we acting like it's hard to tell?

Nothing you do can make you less human. That goes for everyone else too. Pick the worst person on earth—they are still a person and you cannot choose to ignore that without turning yourself into a monster too.

a reflection of life in china in the same way a soap opera is not a reflection of life in America but last I heard China was communist!!! Or at least pretending to be communist. Why are all these dramas literally capitalist propaganda? Like to a ridiculous degree!

The creditors are always knocking down the door. Business and being good at business is incredibly celebrated. The bad guy is always a mid-level manager trying to rise up in the company the goog guys are always nepo babies or "orphans" that turn out to be nepo babies. I understand that these are not

So I watch a lot of those short chinese dramas they advertise on tiktok (usually they're free on daily motion). I really want to know, what is going on in china. Literally everyone works in some kind of financial firm. Everyone is poor and being kicked out of their ancestral home.

Maybe the issue isn't that nobody cares. Maybe the issue is that it doesn't matter how many people care.

I know this Comes off super backhanded but I really hope Chappel Roan. never gets plastic surgery of any kind. She has such a perfect face. I'dhave to see her lose that and just look like a Sharp Object just like every other Celebrity.

camp. Those people are ten times nicer and smarter than almost any person I've ever met who calls themselves a leftist. If you're sitting around thinking "why does the world seem so shitty?" It’s literally because of people like you.

Myself a communist. I've been radical longer than I've been eligible to vote. I would rather spend an hour with a Trump supporter than an hour with someone who shares my politics. And I literally have gone canvasing and phone banking and met people that would easily vote to put me in a concentration

each other to say why it's bad. This is not how things are IN REAL LIFE with people who are doing actual real shit but because everything requires online advertising the online vultures tear it to shreds before anything can actually happen. And I'm saying this as a the kid in MIDDLE SCHOOL calling

I'm at a place where I hate the left about a thousand times more than the right. 90% of conversation on the left is a bunch of people jerking each other off for being so cool for hating everything. Any time anyone says "here's my plan to make the world better" the "discourse" is people falling over

The FDA approves first U.S. at-home tool as a Pap-smear alternative Women can use a wand to collect a vaginal sample, then mail it to a lab that will screen for cervical cancer. The device will be available by prescription through a telehealth service.

I get so annoyed when my students use AI. You stumbled over the word "intelligent" yesterday I don't think you know what "aspects" means. I don't take points off for grammar or mistakes this is literally them just faking it.

STOP SAYING "without due process" START SAYING:
"Without a trial."
"Without a hearing."
"Without a phone call."
"Without being able to show your papers."

We've systematically defunded education for decades people are dumb talk to them like they're dumb.

I love ancient history. A phrase we should all incorporate into our vocabulary is "They killed Caesar for less."

Egypt is literally the perfect setting for White Lotus I can't imagine them not using it in a season. I hope if they do, though, they use Egyptian actors and actresses and they do a lot of research.

I am too afraid of my data being used against me to do a DNA test (even though I REALLY want one). But I do think if we gave everyone a DNA test once and a brain scan every 10 years we'd solve like 80% of medical problems. Add in a full body MRI every few years and we're ay 100%

I'm so fucking tired of hearing about how bad people are ″signaling″. They're doing awful shit. I don't care about the secret handshake or code worss. They're doing horrible things to real people. Can we focus on that? Can we cut the discourse and start the action?

I'll believe it when he licks a subway pole and washes it down with toilet water.

One of my favorite movies to watch with students is called ″An American Eid″ about two sisters from pakistan felebrating their first Eid in America. I genuinely tear up at parts of it. If you can you should watch it.

The fact that we can say ″it's more afraid of you than you are of it″ about almost every species of animal on earth is kind of devastating. We are so destructive that one of the essential characteristics of a surviving animal species is to fear us.

I genuinely struggle to understand how people can literally understand any religion that centers a loving+all powerful+omniscient creator. Like do you live in a human body? What about this shit show makes you think it was the best possible design?

Concerns around AI. I just don't think the anti-AI sentiment around art is accurate

product with ai alone will not be comparable to other forms of art. It's simply not that good. Yes, artists should have had more of a say in how their work was used in the creation of these tools but now that the tools exist we habe to live with them. And we will.

This is not tk say I have no
