Oh huzzah! I have been completely outside of any news cycle today, so will save to read tomorrow.

I haven’t shared this widely yet (or anywhere outside of a few texts) but I’m currently onboarding into a part time director gig & have spent most of my waking mental load on that

I appreciate the praise but also don’t want to be on any pedestal because I would immediately fall off of it lmao

I’ve said dumb shit, I’ve done dumb shit, the only thing I CAN say is that I’ve always genuinely cared about others even if I don’t know them/have never met them/don’t β€˜do’ it β€˜right’ πŸ’€

My random guess is like… it feels as if 80% of the shit that VCs and Execs put forward or evangelize on LinkedIn is full of that shit.

This feels exhaustingly accurate

This topic actually makes me raging mad and then miss having access to a heavy bag/boxing trainer as a means of processing that rage.

I don’t understand anyone that thinks others should suffer because they’re not like them or they can’t relate to them.

It’s the absolute dumbest shit imaginable.

Before I go to sleep tonight, if you’re someone that thinks our Trans friends, family members, & fellow society members should be quiet about their experiences, their right to exist, and their existence in general,

…I think you’re a shitty human that values fake β€˜peace’ over the needs of others
The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

But Dan we also know you write GOOD code, so .. you’re okay

… is he progressive enough for the movement that is now gaining momentum? I don’t know. I think he’d have to speak transparently to some of his voting history, even if only to explain/educate on his β€˜why’s’.

OneCity’s guy* & his coms team need to develop some humility and cooperative strategy ASAP.
February 19, 2026 at 4:28 AM
Yep, the moment I saw that I legit said β€˜for fucks sake’ out loud.

Now, admittedly, I DO recognize it would be a Herculean effort to get folks to decide on β€˜the’ candidate.

Out of all of the β€˜potentials’ so far, I think Fry has done the best engaging w folks/questions on social. But…

Esp dumb when that is the response to unaffiliated potential voters.

I don’t belong to any city level parties, I am a potential voter that represents a passionately engaged persona group doesn’t mean my thoughts are β€˜correct’ per se, but sneering at β€˜potential voter’ feedback is a BOLD move…

…This should not be a difficult ask for a mayoral candidacy team, I see better PR/communications feedback handling from folks leading comms teams in the game industry. City politics is arguably more important/of greater stakes.

It feels like a lot of ego is at play across the board.
February 19, 2026 at 4:18 AM
…& if these groups think just being β€˜Better that Sims’ puts them above feedback, above dialogue from voters, one could argue they’re not necessarily any better than him & ABC bullshit, just a different side of the same coin.

I want someone that can TAKE feedback like an adult, has a careful plan.
February 19, 2026 at 4:16 AM
It’s aggravating how all of these political groups also seem to involve folks that balk or sneer at even constructive, slightly negative feedback.

I’ve seen weirdness COPE side to simply voicing some uncertainty. I’ve heard one confirmed mayoral candidate’s team gets pissy af at comms feedback…

Me, fucking around: sprinkling tons of ground ginger into my ground chicken

Me, finding out: realizing that was actually the cayenne pepper and not the ginger

I needed both anyways but.. really would have preferred the reverse order πŸ’€
