I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

I’d like to counter ‘cruelty is the point.’

ATTENTION is the point. If cruelty didn’t get attention they’d pivot strategies.

It’s depressing that so many Americans think ‘a return to a golden age’ is about eugenics, not like, public education.

It’s wild that our elected representatives who are meant to be public servants have about as much foresight as Gail.
I was thoughtless about Tik Tok.

I didn't use it, never had an account, already have too much social nonsense. And I didn't like the data collection accusations (I know they all do it).

But someone said there are millions whose income comes from TT and that really made me reconsider.

My Mamie who is 92 said something interesting to me when I was in France.

That right now, it’s very precedented times (she lived through Nazi occupied France) with one exception.

Climate change.

Tip to men: when you say you need more masculine energy we all read that as you need to role play a super narrow stereotype that is not only boring but is also pretty fucking dangerous.
My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

Angry doesn’t cut it anymore.

I’m going to be rabid this year. Feral. A loud lunatic. Jennifer Lawrence at her ropes end in Don’t Look Up.

It’s the only logical emotional response to me RN so TIA.

Outfit repeating is just a humblebrag. Taste is so good everyone needs to see it multiple times to appreciate it.
