Why is the US so weird about stuff like this? Why should people stand all day? I never thought about it until I moved to Switzerland and like, people working cash registers have chairs because why make someone miserable when they can have a modicum of comfort & still get the job done. It's so weird.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Well @kenyaairways.bsky.social has punted responsibility for my son's bag missing since 28 August to @airfrance.bsky.social and Air France hasn't been helpful and I'm pretty sure we're never going to see that bag again. Ridiculous

Since @airfrance.bsky.social & @kenyaairways.bsky.social aren't active here, I've created an X account called @lostinNBO to shame them into acting on the fact that my son's luggage has been sitting in Jomo Kenyatta airport since Aug 28. We've messaged 100s of times but it's useless.

My last pending submission was declined and my submission queue is empty and I think it's going to stay that way for a good long time. Something has gone really flat in my writing life this year, and maybe I'll just sit with that for a bit.

Hi, this is your seasonal reminder to back up your computer, your cell phone, your voice recorder, your memory cards, anything you think is important. Make multiple copies, because hard drives fail and are very expensive right now. Sometimes you drop you phone into a lake. Do it sooner than later.

A lot of profound artists share their worldview through their work and actions — just because she didnt give a journalist a sound bite of her explicitly saying “I am a liberal” doesn’t mean she was apolitical. Her entire life’s work was her acting out a politics of compassion

Dollyland employees, both part time and full time, receive 100% of tuition covered. Healthcare, medical, vision, retirement benefits, childcare. A saint that walked among us. Every other wealthy person should be ashamed of themselves if they don't live up to Dolly standards.

🧵 Back when the kid was little we got home from a family vacation to discover his beloved stuffed horse Lady was not in the car with us. We called the place where we'd stayed, they hadn't found anything, and we were all sure Lady had been in the car with us.

Yeah anyone recording you without your knowledge or consent is not your friend and framing them as such is an attempt at manufacturing consent for a suite of behaviors and a technosocial paradigm these people Know is wrong and are trying to justify to themselves. This is predator behavior.
