Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed by the awfulness of A*I slop & the companies pouring billions into this garbage technology I go leave a nice comment for an artist whose work I enjoy. Does it help our current situation? No. Does it make me feel better? Honestly, not really. But I do it anyway. 🤷♀️

I know the joke of the movie was supposed to be that he wasn't a man, but Porco is honest, doesn't posture, owns his prejudices and is willing to grow and overcome them--he's a *real* man, not a caricature.

Also, go report this joker, okay?

Never underestimate the power of small kindness.
To you, it may be a moment. To someone else, it could be the difference between despair and hope.
You don’t always see the ripples your actions make, but they move through the world all the same, one small gesture at a time.

The worst part of all of this? It just feels like they're wasting our time more than anything. We have actual problems to solve, healthcare, housing, climate change, etc. And instead of doing that, we're stuck with an idiotic middle school stage production of the Third Reich. Goddamned ridiculous.

To everyone carrying the weight of this week:
You may not have told anyone how heavy it felt. You might’ve smiled through it, said "I’m fine" when you weren’t and kept showing up when you just wanted to stop.
That takes a kind of strength most people don’t recognize.
That matters. You matter.
