A character on tv just talked about going to being in a psych facility and I felt jealous. That's a good sign, right?

Unless the link is to the Artist Formerly Known as Twitter. Then please DO NOT send me unwittingly to that gutter.

There is a fat bear week animation on Google if you search fat bear week. It is the only thing getting me through the day.

Wild vs Stars preseason. Super rare situation: Benn just went down in dramatic fashion from a high stick.

My government wants me dead because all my contributions to my communities - family, friends, local, online, etc. - are unpaid. My government wants me dead because I am being the best Melissa Geschwind I can manage to be, and that Melissa Geschwind doesn't do enough to drive the economy.

A work requirement for an income-tested assistance program is just so transparently violent. If you work 80 hours/month you likely will no longer qualify for Medicaid and you certainly won't get any benefits from your employer. Any medical care at all will bankrupt you. And then you die.

I know Godwin's Law is defunct, but please find a way to bash people who choose not to stand with goddamned Macklemore without calling them "Nazis"? Thanks.

Anyway, "free Palestine" hits different when it comes from someone with a history of appearing in Jewface.

My apparently very controversial opinion is that it is not just ok but actually a good thing to not comment on things you don't understand. And I promise you, nobody understands all the angles snd details of Israel/Palestine. Some of us keep our mouths shut because we have nothing of value to add.

I wrote this piece on September 11, 2001, at the urging of a friend who knew that writing – and only writing – might be therapeutic for me in the moment. It was published 12 days later …

Fair warning: I'm still not ready to be cute or edgy or whatever about 9/11. I know that as time goes on there are more and more people for whom it's an abstract concept, but it's still a very real trauma to me and many others in my age bracket. Feel free to AMA, but expect earnest replies.

Whole lotta people forgot about coulombs. Sad.

The weird thing about this WMU/Michigan situation is I haven't heard the word "coulombs" once.

Ok, I feel the same way about AI as everyone else here does. I hate it, I fear it, I want it gone. That said... ...the Google result when you search "geschwind ice girls" has knocked the breath out of me. Holy shit, evil Google AI - you really know how to make a gal's night.👀

Putting all else aside - and "all else" is A LOT - this is the rosetta stone for understanding everything about Elon: He is the type of person who, when trying to insult someone in a vulgar and witty way, outsources the vulgarity and wit.

It really seems like, no matter the era or the point one occupies on the political spectrum, antisemitism is the cost of doing business. You can't think anything about anything without allying with a bunch of people who hate me because of my ancestry. What you don't have to do is defend them.
