There 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.

One 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.

I 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?

Yes. 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...

If 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.

The reason I know they’re playing is because not one of these guys has ever meaningfully given a flying shit about abusive or cruel behavior toward actual people

Some 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.

I’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.

I 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.

I 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.

Another 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.

Yes. Whew. I get downright stabby at my fear/anxiety. Learning to give it a hug was so hard. It did not come naturally. lol!

Before 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.

We 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.

Long 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.

I 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.
