Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 5hThere are so many both things can be true situations currently waving their flags it is very dizzying. Most can be navigated by caring about human and civil rights for all and insisting we not relinquish those as goals at a minimum. 010
Reposted by Lisa RokusekPrisonculture @prisonculture.bsky.social · 5hOne of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW. 171550463
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 5hI did not expect my undergrad phenomenology classes to be so damn relevant on sales calls. Also didn't expect to be so annoyed by vacuous techbros today. Thats on me I should be constantly prepared! I'm ready for this week TO BE OVER. Who is with me? 290

Aaron knows this better than almost anyone, but it's worth emphasizing that Elon's actual area of expertise, the thing he is genuinely good at that has made him successful, is not engineering or business, but bad faith abuse of the legal system. bsky.app/profile/aaro... 419924

Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 12hI missed OPT news yesterday. Damn this is a regime of horror and destruction. 120
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 13hIf Dems were simply bad at politics they might have learned to be better by now. Feels more willful. Too many seem determined to defend the harms we suffer under. 120

Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 08/10/2026Thanks. That means a whole lot! What an abundance of smart caring people - I’m still processing. 100
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 08/10/2026I cannot wait to share this video far and wide when it is out. For serious it was amazeballs. 030
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 08/10/2026Doubling down on the human in a time where automating the human out is all the rage seems to be my thing. 110
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 08/10/2026thanks for helping me feel less alone. lol 120
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 08/10/2026Some days my marketing followup messages are just "Hey friend, hey, are you doing okay?" That might also be because I need a few of those. Whew living through this moment is hard enough without having to do the business part. I'm insisting on my business part being made of caring. Thats my hill. 020
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 08/10/2026I'm truly running out of words for the unethical harmful acts we are scaling up in this period. 162
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 08/10/2026I’m so sorry. You need better docs. You deserve to be heard. You are not alone. Every stage of my women’s health journey was horrible but I eventually found docs to help me. 110
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 08/10/2026I love the fact I can dig into people’s hearts and minds to figure out what they value and what makes them tick and what makes them thrive so I can make good matches. Sometimes I forget what a gift that is. That’s my whole career! The keywords are just the start. The human element is the real test. 040
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 08/10/2026I had the best meeting yesterday with a dude leading automation efforts in material handling system integration. His career was so interesting, we talked for over an hour over coffee and vibed over how important the people part of technology is and how ego and control is often a company killer. 130
Reposted by Lisa RokusekJoshua Foust 🪖🎮 @joshuafoust.com · 07/10/2026Another way of looking at this post, besides the laughter Benny is hoping for, is to notice his belief that intentionally starving millions of people to death is a worthy cost to “end” things like Black music. He wants you to sneer so you don’t realize how deeply fucking evil this mindset is. 3187
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026That not giving it the keys is a great reminder. 110
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026Yes. Whew. I get downright stabby at my fear/anxiety. Learning to give it a hug was so hard. It did not come naturally. lol! 110
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026Before we can learn to work w/our fear and anxiety we have to let ourselves become aware of how it bubbles away just below the surface of our consciousness. 140
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026We are governed by a ghoulish majority party but those who allow themselves to be fodder for the ghoul grist mill are also ghoulish. Don't give the ghouls any credit, not one inch of resource, don't allow yourself to be a pawn in their ghoul games I do not care how much of an "honor" it might be. 030
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026it has been worse than even my depressed dark lens predictions. JUST THE MEASLES SUFFERING. but there has been so much more. 010
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026Long before the cursed 2024 election I was enraged at the traction RFK Jr had within the "wellness" and bigpharma critical people. There are reasons to be concerned about bigcorp of all flavors including big pharma but inviting malevolent wrecking ball of RFK Jr into US health was obviously bad. 140
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026I didn’t have to worry at all. But you know I am neurotic! :) And kind of cool, tho. Hopefully. 010
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026Its coming up, less than a week away! <taps sign> Friendly, but dangerous when provoked! 110
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026On one hand no but on the other hand I believe I may have an unhealthy fascination with the fact we have no bottom and the variants of toxic horror stupid are so abundant. Phil I miss you! Lets catch up. 010
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026All things equal there will always be some dude doing things some dudes do that make my fingers itch for gasoline and matches. My restraint works okay is what I'm saying. No one lit afire! 070
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026Do you have a friend you can call to take the shovel out of your hand? Your digging is becoming unseemly. 030
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026I'm making do with my leftover bean cheese and jalapeno nachos from last nite. My nachos are amazing but not scratching that itch. 010
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026I'm really hungry right now and I want a potato/egg taco. 260
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026I worried my talk where I own being a full-assed buddhist (instead of half-assed) would be a stretch at a tech conference especially w/me spending significant amount of time talking about Thich Nhat Hanh & Joan Halifax. But I've gotten several emails referencing my reading list - guess I was okay. 170
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026So special! Honestly the happy vibe is still with me days after I re-joined the rest of the world. It was good for me. 000
Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.myatproto.social · 06/10/2026Yep. Been with me. Always has been but lately? Whewf. 010
