it’s pretty cool that Anthropic’s Claude (AI) has analysis around patriarchy. it’s like, i don’t have to explain to defend my experience; Claude just honors patriarchy as fact. WILD.

this might be my favorite thing i’ve made: orange passion fruit marmalade. the rind is seville oranges and the flesh is cara cara oranges. the range of bitter to sweet in one bite is the most intense i’ve ever experienced!

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

The barrage is dizzying. They want us disoriented and in despair. To defend ourselves and others, focus is key. Play by play reactions to every harmful act and utterance won’t help you or others. Focus on what you can do (& where you can be most impactful), and remember that you can’t do everything.

i don’t know how my life has changed to make this happen, but now in the final moments before getting out of bed for work, i thank my blessings and luxuriate in the warmth of my bed instead of clinging to each last moment and cursing profusely.

"The company’s board of directors unanimously urged shareholders to reject the proposal ... and made the case that Costco’s success depends on establishing a racially diverse, inclusive workplace."

A shareholder proposal is arguing that Costco's diversity, equity and inclusion policies are making the Issaquah-based company susceptible to legal risks.

i had a lover tell me recently that they noticed that i “stay trim.” that phrase struck me so intensely, and reminded me of a clip of Toni Morrison that Jessica Dore shared recently: youtu.be/UAqB1SgVaC4?...

RIP legend Nikki Giovanni. She appeared on NPR's Wild Card podcast last summer, and as they tend to be, the conversation was deep and funny and surprising and enriching. Well worth a listen.
npr.org
Nikki Giovanni doesn't think about her legacy. But here's a moment she felt proud : Wild Card with Rachel Martin
At 81, Nikki Giovanni isn't afraid of getting older. And the legendary poet also isn't spending any time thinking about her legacy. She's mostly focused on having fun and being able to look back on her life and feel like she did her duty. She talks to Rachel about the myth of a happy family, what she's learned on safaris and why she's fascinated with Mars.To listen sponsor-free, access bonus episodes and support the show, sign up for Wild Card+ at plus.npr.org/wildcard

I don’t even know where to begin with what it means to be without Nikki Giovanni. Dear Nikki, Grappling with your work brought out the best writing I have ever done. You were a Martian, born in Knoxville, TN. May you rest in peace, #NikkiGiovanni. thebaffler.com/salvos/becom...
