see a need that is unmet? get some friends together and do the thing.

I am going to take that direction. I am going to find kindling for my last ember of hope. I refuse to go cold. I refuse to give up my softness when I know it is all that will save me.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people
really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Whether the app stores drop X based on this will be telling
X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

I masked at the gym yesterday and all the headlines today about flu season are confirming that was a very good idea.
If you're new to masking while working out, I will tell you it's something you acclimate to. Back in 2021 I masked for roller derby for a while, still acclimated just fine yesterday
