The parasocial relationships some people have with celebrities is baffling to me. The reactions people are having to Taylor Swift being engaged is insane. She's not your BFF getting married, you don't know her. You know the carefully curated image that her excellent marketing team wants you to know.

HEIC files can absolutely fuck off. They aren't compatible with anything but Apple bullshit. I shouldn't be surprised though because that's just what Apple does. Fuck Apple.

They didn't even use Photoshop. It looks like they legit just typed directly on the knuckles. If you're going to do fake bullshit & not really try, at least use AI 🙄
Thou shalt not photoshop gang tattoos onto people’s knuckles in a vain attempt to justify thy evil.

Just weeks after creating a $50 million tax credit to help families pay for private school tuition and homeschooling, Idaho has shut down a program that helped public school students pay for laptops, school supplies, tutoring and other educational costs. @audreydutton.bsky.social
Idaho Gave Families $50M to Spend on Private Education. Then It Ended a $30M Program Used by Public School Families.
A Republican lawmaker said ending an Idaho program that helped public school students buy laptops and other materials wasn’t linked to the creation of a private school tax credit. The state’s most pro...

I'm going to be honest. If TikTok sells to a US buyer, I'm not using it anymore.
President Donald Trump announced Friday that he will sign an executive order to keep TikTok running in the U.S. for an additional 75 days as his administration continues to pursue a deal to sell the China-based company to a U.S. buyer.

Dear Snapchat Advertisers,
Any ad that I see pop up under my "chat" section infuriates me and makes me want to literally never buy a product from your company. That section is for my personal friends to send me pictures & messages. It's a bad feature. Put your ads somewhere else.

I've been watching too much Schitts Creek, and now I swear my voice sounds like Alexis... My wife claims my voice hasn't changed, so now I'm worried that I've always sounded like this.

One of the most frustrating parts of my job are staff who refuse to use the resources that are given to them. Maybe I'm being a bitch right now, but if I have sent numerous emails about something AND it's in the staff handbook, then you should not be emailing me for the information.

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

People at my work are always surprised by the random stuff that I know. Like my dudes, I listen to the news every day & I read a lot. Most of it is useless information, but sometimes it randomly impresses people 🤷♀️

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

TikTok & META apps are no longer in my social media folder where I can mindlessly open them to doom scroll. I can't guarantee I won't be drawn in by social media sometimes but I'm taking baby steps towards my goal.

I work at a public school. The idea that ICE may show up demanding to take our kids is terrifying. Every teacher/staff member I've talked to has essentially said that they're not letting ICE anywhere near our kids. Although, I'm 99% sure our SRO would let ICE in & lead the way so that's super fun.
