Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

There was an old tweet that said something like, "Rage Against the Machine never specified just what kind of machine it was that they were raging against, but I reckon it was probably a printer", and that old tweet accurately characterises my last 48 hours or so.

TBH writing Eryn is what helped me make it through my own traumatic time - she holds such a special place in my heart!

I felt my age yesterday when two of the staff at my job said they brain dumped emails, and then used AI to edit for clarity, tone, and length.

I offered to review their emails and give pointers. They politely declined.

And then I reflected on how worried I am about AI in this form.

I love seeing these videos and all the joy and community in the #BikeBus !!! Doing such an amazing thing here

Curiosity:

What are the topics that you feel unites the most people when it comes to public’s policy? (Like a top three from your experiences!)

Thanks in advance!

Anyways, support clean energy. CNN Article: Climate pollution from inhalers has the impact of half a million cars per year, study finds.

Kind and straightforward reminder: It is not helpful to Southern states, including TX, to call everyone who lives there less intelligent or any variation on the term.

When I see these comments, I also gather that they view less intelligent people as less valuable - which is ableism.

ICE Agents Rappel from Helicopter in Overnight Chicago Raid, Dragging Kids from Beds to U-Hauls Overnight on Tuesday, Sept. 30, federal agents from different agencies raided an apartment building on the South Side of Chicago, pulling men, women and children — some of them allegedly naked — from ...

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

None, none at all😂

My new catchphrase: I’m out of spoons, forks, and f**ks.

There’s something great about taking a break from large novels and instead going back to your roots.

And by roots I mean writing Zutara fanfic on A03.

Robert Reich is stating the truth.

Apparently doomscrolling because your nose is stuffed at 5 am and you can’t sleep is an account-suspending offense, according to Meta.

So I guess I’m doomscrolling Bluesky now.

(I’ve appealed because I’ve worked hard on that account!)

Even in the darkest space, we can still search for a light.

The Century Soldier Check out The Century Soldier - <strong>The beginning of a world built by the many, instead of the few... </strong></p><p>In the first book of this sci-fi series, Eryn lost her memory after being froz...

The way she was treated traumatized her so much that she willingly froze herself using cryostasis. And it wasn’t until she got released 100 years in the future that she found out about the brain chip.

And when she did, it made her question her entire life.

I don’t think brain chips are a viable innovation - so I wrote about Eryn, a mid-20s woman who had a brain chip put in her mind without consent as a baby. She was made into a cyborg, and treated like a robot.

Yes!! I’d love to be able to just relax and travel.

My philodendron: Water, mother, please, for I am made of thirst. [Proceeds to drink too much and attempts to get root rot, causing me to rescue mission it into another pot].

We have a potential shutdown.

DOI is about to share RIF plans with us.

We don’t have enough staff/budget already. It’s horrible.

Now Mr. “Trauma is the point” is suggesting anyone not funded during a shutdown will be subject to a Reduction in force (terminated)? I am nauseous.

Please, please, please:

1) reach out to your Congressionals
2) talk to everyone you know and help them understand the government services they will lose
3) support any federal employee you know right now. This is really hard.

Me vs. cars in my books: I’ll always win.

/You know when the TX DMV sends you a text in a group chat five times in a row telling you you have a traffic ticket that you have to pay BY TOMORROW to not have your drivers license suspended and other things?/

TLDR: Scam texters are good for a laugh.
