Just breathing my way through an anxiety attack over here. On Fridays you’ll find me softly crying in my local library. Let’s trade book recommendations.

Every time I think about my precarious employment situation as a contractor looking for a full time gig in this job market, my blood runs cold. Then I think about ICE agents and national guard deployments and my blood runs colder.

So basically I am now a snake. Don’t come near me.

Hiss.

I don’t know how we didn’t expect the “greatest armed forces in the world” to not turn against us eventually.

I love so many podcasts but I don’t have money for all the Patreons and Substacks* and Discords and Slack communities 😭

This is no one’s fault except for capitalism and this endless subscription-based way of life.

*please no more substacks though

All the tech bros: “AI is inevitable!”

Subtext: “because we are throwing so much money into it that we are going to make you feel as if it was always already inevitable.”

The AI: “i don’t know what to tell you but why don’t you just copy my hallucinations into your report and call it a day?”

The infantilizing of the elderly is so gross.

They never had any to begin with and they think adding caviar will make it nicer because caviar is somehow supposed to be delicious on everything??

Well, this is … not great. A self-generating story? Who wants this?

People are being convinced that it’s the only way to grow their careers which is a complete lie

I am an adultoddler, meaning i get cranky without a nap, scream in rage after i log off work for the day, and need a constant supply of snacks and tv to soothe me when I am distressed (all the time)

Some people do this from their living rooms. $100,000?? While they continue to pay adjuncts teaching in the program absolutely nothing.

Admittedly I like Guerdy a lot though.

I think it should be common practice to put housewives on pause and bring them back in a couple of seasons. I think Guerdy should be paused but someone like Julia should go permanently

Ugh she made this kid’s struggles her storyline and I guess pretty much invented those fights with Shane? I have empathy for moms who are watching their children having a tough time, but this was just ughhhh.
