Losing Gene Hackman is bad enough but the circumstances are even sadder (his wife and dog also died). He was 95!? I guess cos he 20+ years ago, my head can’t really comprehend.

Finally watched Anora today on the plane. Reiterated for me that Sean Baker is definitely one of my favourite contemporary directors. I’ve loved everything he’s done, Anora included.

I always think of that guy whose Aunt was deep in QAnon and estranged from everyone in her family but then randomly found BTS. Turns out what she was looking for was community and connection. She ended up volunteering for BLM and totally 180’d to do good things.

I suspect this is a HUGELY underestimated factor in radicalization. If you look at, say, QAnon boards, it’s not really folks looking for scapegoats for their dire material circumstances. It’s middle-class people with boring lives who want to imagine they’re in The Parallax View.
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

Okay Study Group is now official on my to-watch list (along with everything else on there, I will get to it when I am in the mood which since I hit perimenopause last year is hardly ever for anything).

Have decided to get into Discord. I signed up years ago and never used it, then signed up again while hanging out with @djalicat.bsky.social last month… and then didn’t do anything with it. But I am keen now, so gimme your server recs / invites etc. Username the same there as here (and everywhere)

Hard to build hype on some socials these days when you see the reveal three days before the tease that you had no idea about (and which was posted eight days ago). No tease. Only reveal.

I’ve always felt most companies participating in Pride events are doing it as a performative stunt… and here ya go

Just dropped my cat at the cattery for a two night “trial” and you best believe I am going back to get her when they open in the morning. She’s been there two hours. She peed and pooed everywhere and it’s was just traumatic all around and now I’m home and lonely without her. 😭

Depop is an interesting social experiment. I am trying to support sustainable clothing consumption but jeez. There’s people who ask for almost full price on clothes I can still buy cheaper brand new when the brand has a sale. Also people who don’t add a size assuming everyone is as skinny as them.

I work in a federal public health role (thankfully, not in the US). In 2020, I was on a COVID taskforce and saw firsthand how amazing epidemiologists and other “disease detectives” are and what they saved our bacon from. This is devastating.
CDC source:
“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.
They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

Not been around much of late. Work is busy and takes up a lot of my brain. I’ve felt disconnected since permanently leaving Twitter. And when I do come on social media, all I see is horrid things happening to good people and not enough horrid things happening to bad people. Going back to my books 🫡

Do any of my followers read Cantonese (Traditional Chinese), Mandarin (Simplified Chinese) or Arabic text? I’m making some cervical screening postcards and they’re due to the printer tomorrow AM so I don’t have time (or $$) to go through a translation service. I just need to know it’s not gibberish.

I think the “knew each other as kids” / “childhood connection” trope annoys me because I think about the men I grew up with, many of whom I still know (Canberra is pretty small y’all). I either think of them like brothers or it’s a big oh no thank you. I know it’s a trope but no way I am ever ever

I just went to the fridge to grab a sugar cane juice, sat back on the couch and… ah I think I may have ADHD’d myself here… that’s hojicha latte, Pepsi max, sugar cane juice, fruit smoothie, and water. The ones in the tumblers and all chokers with ice (cos it’s gotta be freezing or scalding for me).

This morning I checked my bank account and could not for the life of me work out what the $80 that came out at 2:58am was from/for… suddenly I remembered “oh I purchased and made a legal will at 3am”. As one does. Being an insomniac is sometimes pretty trippy y’all.
