iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

like "do you have a good reason to be looking up something that might pull up or be connected to this information" is my threshold and imo being invited is a good reason. the way i phrased it didnt make that super clear at first

000

they've convinced themselves that being a politician is gainful employment and "old people need to get back into the workforce" is their excuse for not retiring when they're on death's door

000

the same way you might find an address as a first page result when looking for a cv, if you're given the address you might find like the sale record. so i think it's more a matter of whether you were looking through non-public-record sources like facebook photos or something stalkery

100

Intentionally looking for the address unprompted, yes a bit strange. Stumbling across extra info bc you were actually given the address, not really imo unless you dig into it to an invasive degree. It's more a matter of "how closely connected is this info in the public record"

100

added the city name to narrow it to The Right Person With That Name and boom public record they bought a house

000

if you're the kind of person that randomly looks up ppl you know a lot or if you know them through academia i don't think it's that strange. Ppl know academics are nerds and I have accidentally found housing purchase info about professors bc i was looking up their CVs to read their publications lol

working in the entertainment industry has def changed my perspective on this sort of thing bc I'm in a position where I DO get to work for artists I'm a fan of. it'd be completely inappropriate to hire me bc im a fan of the artist rather than bc ive proven my skills and reliability as a worker

000

and in turn a fan's interactions with an artist can turn creepy and stalker-y quite easily. it's best for everyone to maintain a bit of professional distance when there's that parasociality element involved

100

immense respect for this take. I think a lot of people don't really think about the implications of celebrity, even if it is niche internet microcelebrity, and the potential kind of influence it gives people over fans. it can turn creepy and toxic very quickly

i've met quite a few people who've worked TSA or similar types of security guard jobs and not only is their job insanely fucking boring, they have to enforce stupid menial rules that we all know are unnecessary and unhelpful. The least you can do is let them rest so it goes more smoothly

I suspect this could be challenged as being able to stand all day is not a bona fide occupational qualification and would violate laws including the ADA.

physical fitness is not required to perform a TSA security checkpoint agent's job, this is ableist as fuck, and I hope they get sued into oblivion over this by current TSA employees

Peter can take his Crusade, dip it in that greasy pomade he puts in his hair, and shove it up his ass.

i literally wrote an essay about this for my final in a history class and got an A so while I'm no subject matter expert, i think i am qualified to say that hegseth doesn't know fuckshit about the crusades and he should maybe take a history class

000

fascists are absolutely fucking obsessed with the crusades and this idea of holy war but the thing about the crusades is they weren't even holy wars. The crusades were characterized by collaboration between Muslim and Christian powermongers who fucked over everyone they could to get rich.

rotting potatoes smell remarkably similar to dead mice. i know this because mice sometimes die in the vents at my dad's house and every time we thought we smelled a dead mouse at my mom's, it turned out to be a rotting potato buried in the back of the pantry

tears at this. so grateful for people who do right knowing they'll be done wrong. it doesn't always turn out like this. harm reductionists are the best fucking people and there is absolutely nothing stopping you from being one of them.

Justice Murray ended her ruling by addressing DULF’s founders directly, saying they did the public interest a service “at considerable personal cost.”

“You selflessly put yourselves to the side for this cost, and it’s something that most people wouldn’t do,” said Justice Murray. “I applaud you for what you’ve done. I think you should be very proud of yourselves, and it’s people like you who make a difference.”

I hate that real, useful, good things like integral calculators have been completely replaced or drowned out in search engines by genAI chatbot slop that fucks up basic addition

the whole 'i dont like AI but THIS i can get behind' when its a story about someone pounding a trex or a minotaur is such a bad take. camp is art. real legitimate art. honestly kind of astonished to see anti-AI folks just ignoring their stated values because someones AI erotica cover made them laugh

i love how strongly anti-AI young buckaroos are, and the creative community is, and basically anyone who knows anything about it. but dang i wish folks brought that kind of fight to the world of erotica. such a sneaky reveal of how those who CLAIM to care actually dont see erotica as 'real art'

And when someone DOES make a game where people who aren't white men are the target audience, white men complain that it isn't catered to them

010

This has always been insane to me because women are 50% of the population and non-white people are the global majority. Like why wouldn't you view them as a primary market at least sometimes

Also it smells like REALLY good coffee

000

it's smack dab in the middle of the building too so all the office staff and nurses and doctors can easily pop over for coffee on a short break, and the office lobby smells like coffee. mmmmmm

Omg theyve got a cafe in the middle of this medical office building. It's like right next to the main hospital but not actually the same building (part of a medical plaza area) so it makes perfect sense but I wasnt expecting it and it's cool as hell

What I’m saying is that there are a diversity of tactics to address different kinds of harm *appropriate to their context.* Accountability is a practice we can develop in trusted relationships. It cannot be the tool for challenging our enemies. It should not be a tool used to control our friends.

they can shut out press, bury social media posts with the algorithm, bribe politicians, but they cannot hide the Earth itself and what they've done to it. Israel is committing genocide. This is what intent to eradicate an entire nation looks like.

Had an option to play nature sounds while gradually increasing in volume, and it was a gift I'd gotten during a particularly shitty time of my life that noticeably helped me wake up more easily. Plus it had a little projector to display the time on the ceiling so I didnt have to shift to check

This would've been when I was 16 or 17? Anyway I was literally so sick that I had to drop out of high school around that time and that incident particularly pissed me off because not only did she violate boundaries just to be an ass, it was a really fucking nice alarm clock.

I had a modern one similar to this for a few years until my mom barged into my room to wake me up an hour before my first alarm when she knew I was extremely sick, refused to leave, spilled water on it, and broke it. And never replaced it or even apologized. I'm still kinda mad about it
