Away on a girl’s weekend in a red part of CA this weekend. Closest #NoKings rally was in a nearby town of 10K. We all went, and it was great…great turnout, great vibes, great signs!
(I asked permission to take these pics & post them, except the one I took from across the street, so I blurred faces.)

I went to Perplexity to get some cites. Look at its fill-in suggestion in image below.

This is racist AF. Do racists use Perplexity enough that this is the 1st suggestion they have?

And yes, I did check MY chats to make sure I had never asked something similar to debunk a racist. I had not.

Today in local: This wkend billboards went up in my hood celebrating a handgun. I wrote to my mayor/city councilperson. As did many ppl I know. My councilperson let everyone who emailed know that he was also against it and exploring legal or commercial options to take it down.

Today it came down. 👊🏼

Jesse Green reviews the Sondheim revue "Old Friends" in today's NYT, and it's a beautiful piece of writing, evoking a lifetime of memory and emotion. Just as Sondheim will never be topped by AI, I don't believe this Green's weaving together of the personal and the universal will be either.

I'm not grateful for today's tarrif pause, I'm pissed at the erratic behavior around tarrifs in the first place. Feels like an abusive relationship. If you've been activating about the tarrifs, now's the time to double down, not let up. You can smell the WEAKNESS.

I'm trying a new way to share some thoughts, given the very tight character count here. How does this work?

Call your Senators today!

NO Senator should be giving carte blanche to this administration’s lawless destruction of our national infrastructure, people’s lives, and democracy.

ESPECIALLY Democratic Senators.

It’s a NO on cloture and a NO on the spending bill.

Cecile Richards was a light in the world. And a warrior. This is a huge loss. All my love and condolences to her family, and to everyone she inspired. 💔

Back story: The day Kamala became the presumptive nominee I decided to fly an American flag for the first time, flying it over my Kamala signs. Today I’ve switched it out for the California Republic state flag.

Meanwhile over on Threads…

Useless as it is, I replied to Sheryl and expressed my, um, disappointment in her deciding not to actually lean into leadership by defending the values he’s *blaming* not crediting her for by his actions 🤷🏻‍♀️

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? (I am feeling good about my chances 😊)

The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride has the perfect ending. So much modern fiction seems hell bent on reminding us life is bleak. Like, I KNOW. I felt this sense of impending doom in the last quarter of the book, but McBride defied my expectations. I am satisfied. 5⭐️s

I did an off-schedule newsletter to recommend a must-listen Strong Songs episode. It’s the perfect 80s pop song…do yourself a favor and check out this recommendation to learn why!

This Week-ish is about Barbie. I bow down to Barbie's marketing machine. *That’s* how you maximize a ubiquitous brand. Max & X take note.

Everything always reminds me of how Silicon Valley operates and why patriarchy has such staying power. Check it: https://open.substack.com/pub/elisacp/p/barbie

Had the fun and fortune to dissect #TedLasso S3 w/fellow Lasso-fan Maria Ross on her podcast. We talked easter eggs/fan service, toxic masculinity, female friendship, & more.

The main segment is about the SAG/AFTRA/WGA strike (as a member of another creative union) and how the issues raised also exist here in Silicon Valley and in American capitalism writ large.

This week I was peeved by a job description. I put an excerpt in Notes wit the comment: “Just say you don't want to hire 'the Olds' and be done with it.” Am I over-sensitive? Or do you get the same vibe? Link: https://open.substack.com/pub/elisacp/p/subtext?r=1egsl&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
