I'm so sick of people fearmongering and demonizing medications that are literally lifechanging if not downright lifesaving

Somewhere someone is beginning to type a column called “Newsom/Taylor Greene 2028? Why this odd pairing might be exactly what America needs”

I am super super glad that she's now loose cannoning against them, though. Every opportunistic person who turns lifts my heart. There is blood in the water.

I am legitimately not happy that MTG is getting death threats, and I also have to triage my concern and empathy these days so unfortunately there are a lot of people ahead of her in line and she helped put a lot of them there.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

not the main point but it should be illegal to interview someone more than 3 times for the same position

I could not get my old job back. Riot had forced me into unemployment in what we now know to be the worst job market in industry history.
I finally found Riot’s Head of People on LinkedIn and sent her a 2000-word message explaining in detail how badly they had fucked me and asked them to explain.

alice wong treated me as an equal from the moment she met me. i was a teenager with very little experience in the way of organizing; she was already a titan in this community. it didn't matter. she believed above all else that everyone, no matter how small, deserved to be treated as a future elder.

Not to get all Sun Tzu on it, but when the enemy is weak and divided amongst itself, you do not relieve the enemy by allowing their partisans into your camp. You drive them closer together, force them into tighter company, and intensify their conflict.

Yes, this is ANOTHER reminder to start practicing your scripts!
💠 "If you're concerned, don't bring it up at dinner"
💠 "I have a therapist for that, thanks."
Your body is not a family discussion topic. PERIOD.

The worst part of the holidays is how judgmental family members will disguise judgment as *concern*. "Are you sure you want seconds? I'm just worried about you."
If you have ADHD, this can emotionally dysregulate and trigger your RSD HARD because it feels like love withdrawal. 🧵

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever

“With so many marginalized communities, we’re basically the oracles…we’re the ones who see shit before it happens.” In June 2020, I interviewed Alice Wong for TVU before she lost her ability to speak. I asked her how she’d first learned of SARS-CoV-2. She began with the 2016 election of Trump:
