Happy Friday from Holly! #cats

With TikTok’s end near, I’m genuinely sad. It was a space to explore my many interests, connect with knowledgeable creators, get breaking news first, and enjoy rare, engaging comment sections without the vitrol found elsewhere. I’ll miss that dearly. #tiktok

The people yelling ‘cancel culture is ruining free speech’ are the same ones who claim to love free speech absolutism.

Babe, ‘cancel culture’ is free speech absolutism.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

Twas one of those mornings where I entered the shower with my glasses on. I thought 10 hours of sleep was supposed to solve everything.

Bluesky is getting its own photo-sharing app, Flashes

All the websites are bad now. They used to be good, but they are very BAD now!!!!!!!

Love that my Apple TV remote goes on sabbaticals for months at a time only to reappear in the least obvious place ever.

Seeing a lot of people today post some variation of "TikTok needs to be banned because it's rotted everyone's brains." It's not TikTok. You're uncomfortable with how normal people use the internet — which will always be strange and ugly — and you'll say the same thing about whatever replaces TikTok.

We really do have the weirdest, creepiest robber barons imaginable

Set my VPN to Vancouver to test TikTok before the ban.

There’s no TikTok shop, no shop ads. Reminds of the 2021-2022 app experience and it is AMAZING. #tiktok

Typical afternoon on the catio

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!
#literacy #libraries #librarians

The fact that writers can use various combinations of 26 letters to make me care about people who never existed and then destroy me emotionally by making them suffer is the weirdest, most unfair, and wonderful of magics

Sometimes things my therapist said suddenly make sense.

Sometimes you grow and the people around you don’t like that.

Sometimes they leave without an explanation because they dont have the skills, the emotional range…they haven’t done the work.

People that have will fill in the space.

I don't trust people who don't meow back at their cats

I put some of my cover letters into an AI writing detector and it thought I was AI. That must be my ✨autism ✨ at work again 😬

“Why doesn’t your cat have a tail?” when Donut and I go on walks is a staple. I think I’m going to start handing out nonsense explanations.

“He misplaced it. We’re still looking, but honestly, I think it’s gone.”

Well hello everybody!
Here’s Donut and Holly.
I’ve escaped Zuck and Musk.
Life’s good here.
