Okay, so, Sidurgu. First like, there is obviously a lot of speculation and such that comes with the territory, we have pretty limited information on Sidurgu, and even less on him prior to the Dark Knight quests.

I feel like people have forgotten that the President is just a person who won a literal US popularity contest. Nothing about his position grants him the right to be seen otherwise.
Forget if any other President had done this. What if a CEO did this? a Judge? your neighbor Kyle who works from home?

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.
We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

I had to tell a co-worker today, "I'm just a nerd for writing down instructions," after I turned our 45 min saved Teams call video into a 2-3 page document with screenshots.
Because at some point, someone who wasn't on the call is going to need to know how to do it and we'll all be out of office.

People think documentation is hard. "Documenting a lot" has legit been career advancing for me
One trick:
If you're writing down an answer to someone in an email or an IM, paste that this into a page
Just do it. Copy-paste. A little cleanup if you're feeling ambitious. Bam, documentation.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Low key, this is why I think you should send fan mail to the niche people you love and not huge people. Bts is gonna get thousands of letters, but that soundcloud rapper may go there entire career getting nothing.
