Welp, it's my birthday.

Tech companies are pouring billions into AI chips and data centers. Increasingly, they are relying on debt and risky tactics. Financial analysts are worried there's a bubble that will soon pop.

Did you know that big studios monitor piracy? Don't you fucking dare pirate this shit. Do not hate watch through piracy. JK Rowling is a disgusting human being that funds and encourages the hurt, pain and death of my fellow trans peers. Support media that actually deserves our time and money.

I was choking, and the guy called me sir because I had a buzzcut, even though my clothes didn't scream man. My mom forgot I was almost losing conscience and yelled at him: she's a girl 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

no offense but white people’s understanding of “gender” is too often “short hair = man” which is really really really really really really really really really really bizarre

Time-line did something

If you think you were robbed of a decent adaptation of your favorite book remember that instead of getting Joel Fry as Wentworth and Sarah Snook as Anne, I got that dreadful Netflix adaptation that is so bad that I would rather watch Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow. Seriously.

Books in first person POV are a huge no for me. I wish they put this on the cover so I knew which book to run away. I can forgive my lead characters for many flaws but being a jerk and an idiot aren't included. There's a reason why I hate Emma from Jane Austen, I kept feeling she was the villain

I'm doing a granny squares project with multiple color changes and I'm weaving the ends after every roll because I want future Ness to know that I love her despite the fact that I don't like her all the time.

we should feed everybody actually all the time there is no reason for anyone to be hungry and/or homeless

There are SO many (FREE) resources these days that can help you learn how to be an artist. There are free art programs. A pencil and some paper is inexpensive. There is literally no excuse to not learn to draw and instead rely on AI generation. Being an AI "artist" just makes you a pathetic loser.

Someone draw Izzy in a little Starfleet dress please.

I'm vending at my first makers market today! Come and say hi ✨

Cat lost its balance and now I have two big scratches in my bony butt.

Alice Wong, a writer and activist who was born with muscular dystrophy and who fought relentlessly for equal rights and access for people with disabilities, died on Friday. She was 51. nyti.ms/4r9WqEr

I made the exams today and apparently I have an overgrown lymph node (don't ask me for specifics because I have none). I have a doctor's appointment to check if I'm taking medication or letting if go back to it's usual side.

I sat with an older lady today and I started ranting about the importance of letting trans people be themselves and happy with their own identities and just as I thought I said too much she didn't miss a blink and said to me:

To anyone who saw me freaking out here. The doctor think it's something related to ganglia, but they need to be sure so I have exams scheduled for Friday. So, any good vibes you can send are more than welcome. I'm gonna try to calm myself. Thank you all for sending kind messages

I have a doctor's appointment today and I am freaking out, can someone tell me everything is gonna be alright?

One day you're young and cool and the other you're doing a gage swatch.

It's always a humbling experience when you open the calculator app instead of the alarm one.

It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

I have never been a part of a book club, and I am a part of one now and I went to the first meeting and it was absolutely lovely. Best experience 100/10, I have no idea how I managed to live so long without joining one. Recommend this to everybody. Book clubs rule.

"There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue." Damn, what a coincidence. All these news orgs keep laying off the same types of people while a bilious, rapey, leather-faced buffoon provides them cover and shakes them down for money to build a library named for a man who does not read.

Libraries matter. Access matters. After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember. @arstechnica.com tells the story: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

food is a human right

Very important factor to this

I was having a good day, then my bookclub meeting was canceled and I had to frog 8 rows 🥲

Dear blue sky please let me send images by DM.

In this glorious day look what I found on the street: Isn't it neat? Isn't it pretty?

We moved on too fast from Izzy Hands hairstylist and barber prodigy, because he styled Ed's hair and beard in such a beautiful way. That takes skill.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

POST-WEDDING?

Saw a tumblr post saying AI is turned on again in a hidden Google Drive menu, but its not a menu you can find on mobile; its only desktop. anyhoo. here it is with a picture and clearer directions Google Drive > MyDrive > (Gear Icon top right) Settings > Manage Apps [switch off Gemini here]

happy 2 year anniversary to the worst finale i've ever seen in my LIFE!!!!!!!!!

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

I have no idea if some of you know, but the crafty part of the canyon changed my life fundamentally. I had completely given up on knitting and I didn't even knew how to crochet. I already gave a crochet class and my mom who was been crocheting since she was a teenager asked me for directions.

Depression: keeping you awake when you wanna sleep and making you sleepy when you need to be awake. (Yes, my vitamin D levels are good, I'm in Brazil, I'm at risk of some things but vitamin D deficiency ain't one of those things)

What's it like inside your head? So much angst and anxiety

I wish I was rich and could be a platonic sugar daddy for all my friends. Like "here you go, buy yourself something pretty" but by "something pretty" I mean nice food, heating, childcare, a warm coat, time off work. Just a break.

I MEANT VEST 😭
