@cheryllynneaton.bsky.social Not sure where you live, but I know that some elected officials in NY have sponsored mobile busses that do free mammograms. I know that NYS assembly members Bobby Carroll and Jo Ann Simon have done this. May be worth getting in touch w your electeds?

Any tech-savvy peeps out there have feelings about Firefox's built in VPN? Or is it better to just get my own?

I know many may scoff at this language, but baby steps. Listen, a well-timed screwface and a hissed, "You're scaring the hoes" works wonders. (Depending on who you are, I will also recommend a swift, "IS YOU COOL?!")

WRT fucked up jokes specifically, I'm a really big fan of a blank "Why is that funny?" or "I don't get it."

Good stuff 👇 Also, very specifically I might add, teach your sons to pay attention and watch out for others on an ice/roller rink.

If you have the means, do set up a monthly recurring donation to your local food pantry. Giving $ regularly means that the pantry can plan and buy food much cheaper than retail in bulk.

Right, okay everybody, I’ve had a lot of meetings and talks this week and I have to share some top line thoughts. Things are quite a bit worse than i am usually willing to share with people because panic does no good. It’s kinda bad. The baddies have the wind at their back. No denying that.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

I've been fundraising for 40 years from the grassroots level to the larger institutional funder level. I don't remember things being as difficult as they've been over the past 18 months in particular. I had to fundraise through the 2008-09 crash and it wasn't this bad.

Every person running on the Dem side can say: 1. The GOP controls all branches of government. 2. Are you happy with how things are going? 3. Vote blue. 4. What do you have to lose? [use Trump's own words against him]. The end. lol.

If Hannah-Jones sent her kid to an expensive mostly white private school, she would have gotten shit for that choice as well. I think her point is that there are no truly good choices.

What I think about this is: For black parents, there’s no one clear correct answer. My parents chose the other route and while it worked out academically, I was mostly unhappy with my educational experience and missed going to school with my friends in our neighborhood.

I think this really nails down something important about how many people seem to think about data consent: it just *feels* different to most to have an automated system read your conversations with ChatGPT, versus an identifiable guy named Larry who lives in Phoenix.
