We’re definitely going to look back on this era of fashion as the definition of mediocrity.

I do not know how to explain to tech executives that customers don’t like it when you’re constantly changing the UI.

In fact nobody should have to explain this.

Nobody likes paying a subscription to justify UI buttons being periodically moved, so that workflows are always being interrupted.

The greatness of a North American city can be measured in the ability to get a burrito, banh-mi or shawarma at 3:00am, actually.

Bill Clinton sexual assault and misconduct allegations - Wikipedia

don't ever defend this man, whether in service of attacking another rapist or not. you lose all credibility and respect.

In hindsight, yes. At the time it was like “this person is obviously more socially successful than I am, so I guess I should feel grateful”—who could have guessed that I was autistic, so glad to find out now lmfao

Like when I was a teenage girl, it was other teenage girls telling me “stop reading science fiction and telling boys when they’re wrong, and start drinking and wearing tight clothes or no one will ever love you”

IMO this is how patriarchy uses women to groom other women.

So many of my friendships have been cis straight self-proclaimed feminist women deciding that I’m not good at performing femininity or normalcy, so I need gender re-education in the form of a 90s makeover montage.

Idk weigh in if you’re neurodivergent, but have a preponderance of your peers tried to “fix” you? Like in their minds the problem is that you’re too blunt, nerdy or smart to be socially acceptable, so they take it upon themselves to “mentor” you by teaching you to be a different person?

I’m a graphic designer, not a therapist, but you wouldn’t guess that if you listened to any of my client calls.

I would love to stop living in Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You now!

I do think—for nearly every user I’ve encountered—there is an element of leaning on AI because they want free emotional labour from a woman.

There.

I said it.

It means actual women are now in a race to the bottom with a machine designed to serve man-children and it’s gross.

Hanging out with a bunch of women from work recently, and turns out we all feel a great deal of pain, self-disgust and humiliation around Customer Service Voice.

We hate how obsequious we have to be talking to clients, and meanwhile those clients are addicted to chatbots designed to be even worse 🥴

When Trump took power again, I made a little video recommending—among other books—Persepolis by Iranian writer Marjane Satrapi.

I am once again asking Americans to read Persepolis by Iranian writer Marjane Satrapi. It’s a graphic novel. It’ll take you a few hours. I fucking beg you.

Y’all remember after gamergate kicked off and Davis Aurini filmed like a Reservoir Dogs intro ripoff with a bunch of alt right clowns?

Misogyny influencers are undefeated pathetic losers in a way that’s immediately obvious to everyone that isn’t twelve. It has always been so.

What a terrible time to be alive if you’ve seen Wag the Dog.

I’m genuinely shocked to learn that Clavicular is not a Florida Man.

It’s so annoying to know ahead of time that Democrats won’t support this and the media won’t talk about it.

Lmfao I’m sorry, but the editorial columnist class is deeply out of touch, and will side with corporate newspapers aligned with fascist, anti-trans billionaires because they have a financial incentive to assure us that it’s all fine actually. It’s super impartial.

Choosing to publish a column, especially a series of columns that follow a narrow ideology is a choice. The Times promotes right wing ideas not through occasionally publishing a conservative piece but by constantly pushing con ideas/frames in opinion and news coverage

“Radical liberals” is so funny. What differentiates a radical liberal from a regular one? They vote harder?

murderer of children

84% of the time, “ChatGPT Health” killed a customer using their paid service as advertised

A big fluffy floor cushion with a tiny black cat sitting directly in the center.

This grandiose jerk

I don’t have a dedicated work space for painting, so I bought a memory foam dog bed so I could sit on the floor more comfortably, and work on the coffee table. Cringe. Fine. But to add insult to cringe, my cat—who has never used any bed I’ve ever bought for her—has decided it’s hers now 😐

could a dying empire do THIS

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously,

1. Hating their government

2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

Sorry but I love it every time that the fraud betting apps go health insurance mode and find the smallest discrepancy to justify not paying out to the inside traders who are its core customer base. Eat shit.
