I'm invoking a power from the universe within me, the stardust, to speak as truthfully and bluntly as possible because we simply do not have time for anything else; to seize opportunities to do thankless work that matters to someone in need; to sacrifice convenience sometimes but not humanity.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.
Great work everyone.

lol I dreamed I got a telemarketer call from ChatGPT and I raked them over the coals and at the end I'd hoped I'd impressed the guy with my well presented arguments and he'd be ready to quit his job, but instead there was just silence. He'd hung up.

I just want to cry

There's a couple on Instagram where I think the husband is NT and the wife is AuDHD, and they recently did a video where she said, "I can either work or take care of myself, but I can't do both," and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

One incredibly confusing and often infuriating part of the system is that having a work permit does not make you “legally here.” Reading between the lines of the story, my first guess is that this person had a final order of removal and yet had been living here on an order of supervision for years.
Legally here on a work permit. Arrested when he went to renew it. Not fighting his deportation. Yet he's been in detention 29 days. No access to a lawyer. Has been given no information about his case. Family inquiries also ignored. ICE only responded when local news requested comment.
‘Nobody gives me information’: Jacksonville-area man held in ‘Deportation Depot’ for weeks talks conditions, challenges

anyway, is it ok if i postulate that if #adoption is big enough to make it into a Super Bowl ad then maybe it isn’t merely some niche obsession for a tiny minority of weirdos?
the National Council for Adoption, which has spent $16 million on a Super Bowl ad positioning relinquishment for #adoption as the quietly heroic choice above the partisan fray, announced the departure of its president, who took a job in Trump’s HHS department.

Description: This is an outdoor billboard for StandWithMinnesota.com and it goes harder than anything you've seen in your life. The text says "Minnesotans Protecting Neighbors from ICE + CBP Need Your Help," but the kicker is the image of the ICE goon violently shoving a white woman into a kneel.

Our capitalists don’t envision automation as a bridge to human prosperity, otherwise they’d advocate for the types of fundamental societal changes that would make that possible such as UBI or investment in infrastructure through taxing their income. Their vision for automation is a robot with a whip
