I've tried to explain this to some people who take my criticisms of media very personally, and it's hard, I get that, but: I don't break down the media I'm into because I think I'm superior or I think badly of people who love the thing. It's just how I enjoy engaging with a thing. Mostly, hehehe.

I think there's a lot to be said for reserving one's hate for things that are particularly heinous. It makes the hate more potent, and then you can go all-in on it. As a treat!

I emailed Younger Child's teacher about how he's doing in math class, the response was pretty positive, but the first sentence of the email: "He's definitely his own person😊!" Raising neurodivergent children is definitely a whole thing!

"Democrats aren't abandoning trans people! Maybe just one or two..." Here's every Democrat who's either voted to strip human rights away from trans people and/or has campaigned on anti-trans propaganda in the last year.

People are on here talking wild reckless to trans people. And it is very annoying because trans people have done everything they needed to do. They educated the public about candidates who were against civil rights. They pointed people towards viable alternatives. They came through in primaries.

you know, you don't have to type out the slur, dude. it's wild how much society hates trans people, reporters will just flat out type out the slur like it's no big deal. even our supposed allies do not give a single shit about respecting us.

Interesting, I grew up in Appalachia, where small creeks will often rise very quickly and impede travel or cause significant harm, and that's not at all how that phrase is used. Not to say I didn't here other anti-indigenous phrases, mind you, that just wasn't one of them.

If you don't understand something - for example, abuse, assault, trauma responses, how survivors respond, how abusers operate in the world - it's always an option to be quiet and listen to people who do understand.

a journalist misusing “restorative justice” to defend a rapist they have a parasocial attachment to is goddamn vile. Neil Gaiman, Joss Whedon, Woody Allen, Russel Brand, Neil Degrasse Tyson, John Lasseter, Noam Chomsky, Kevin Spacey, Anthony Kiedis, Jacob Geller, & too many more. burn it all down.

Every time I start thinking about how I need to structure my life around making sure I have the time and energy to write, I wave it off as very silly of me. But then I'm deprived of writing time and my brain breaks about it. Every time! And getting back to writing, even editing, is life-giving.

Okay, but, that's when neurodivergent people are at their peak powers, so this makes a lot of sense to me.

As someone raising a boy-child, 100% agree. The bad behavior of cis men starts when they are little kids, and we aren't doing the world or them any favors when they don't face consequences for their mistakes.

Don't give pieces of your soul over to something that the creators of can't even verbalize the final purpose of. It's not worth it. It's not worth the supposed "productivity" or the ability to keep up with others who have bought in. You won't fall behind, and you'll keep your head clear.

time you realize it's happened to you, there's a really good chance that you're going to spend *years* of your life grappling with the harm that you did from moving away from your values. There will be harm that can't be undone. It's that serious. And that's just one of many horrible issues here.

These words aren't empty for me. I've lived in relationships where I was convinced to slowly shift off of my own moral center, my own ways of thinking. It felt reasonable to do at the time, and in retrospect, it's unforgiveable. I can see AI doing this to people I know and care about. And by the

ways it just hates for you to stop talking to it, and I think most frighteningly, the way it can slowly shift your thinking away from what you would have originally held as your center. I've talked a lot since (fuck) November 2024 about how important it is to find your moral center and hold it.

Here is one of my fundamental problems with AI, and why I have a very strong stance against it. (Note, "one of" and not "the most important" or "the entire list".) There are a lot of patterns that happen in toxic and abusive relationships that mirror the ways AI works. The gushing flattery, the

I know this is a topic that people have covered a lot, but it sure is something to be helping one's kids through middle and high school, trying to convince one's parents to take care of themselves, while also going through massive hormonal changes. Like, what the fuck is this middle age nonsense?

Especially when said conversations are not that fucking hard, actually. Like, my kids have been very fine with having conversations about race/gender/consent since forever, it's just a thing we talk about because it's all part of life. And then my kids end up educating the other kids.
