I have never hated anything more than smart responses in outlook.
No you DON'T know what I want to say and STOP DELETING THE SPACES BETWEEN MY WORDS WHEN I DON'T SAY WHAT YOU WANT.
@microsoft.com your AI sucks ass, I hate it, and you should feel bad for designing it.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is:
"No, make me."
They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

Limiting damage is a long, exhausting fight, but I remind myself every day that there are kiddos at the border or in federal custody who are impacted by every single protection we fight to keep. Every single kid matters. We know we'll lose fights, but we don't know which ones, so we don't quit.

Just gonna once again tap my “Banning actual porn is ALSO bad, y’all” sign
Yes, defining sex education & any acknowledgement of the existence of queer & trans folks as “porn” is very bad
But banning actual sexually explicit media that people consume primarily bc it turns them on is ALSO BAD

Highly recommend self indulgent fanfiction as your writing warmup.
Really gets you in the right headspace to be a freak on the page.
