(i think maybe by virtue of even being able to make this reference i am possibly too old to be wearing what i am wearing but also i look hella cute for fetching groceries so fuck it we ball and the other middle aged folks can quietly say “ugh she has *no* business wearing that)

emily: “i’m worried i might be dressed more boyishly than i ever used to dress?” corinne: “you look like every teen girl i saw on campus today” emily: ‼️ “as if i might be part of a SQUAD‽” corinne: “yes, sweetie, teen girl squad—i get it” emily: “WOO I’M WHAT’S HER FACE! MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE!”

yeah, we’ll get right on watchlists for future crimes based on cruel and unusual llm usage as soon as the fbi’s “we had him on our radar” leads to even one stopped atrocity. as soon as “record of domestic abuse” leads to “cannot buy gun.”

The thing many people don't understand about discrimination is that it means you can never count on anything. When straight white cis people order a cake, they get a cake. When I order a cake, I might get a cake or I might waste hours and get nothing.

i used to get really bad strep every year & when my city closed its free clinics i just had to ride it out. one year, it got into my heart & became rheumatic fever & i got yelled at in urgent care for not coming sooner & had to explain i was at work til just then. toughing it out Builds Character.

i won’t usually repost this monster or shit from twitter but i actually laughed out loud at this and i honestly think shitting on his eventual grave should become a secular pilgrimage, like a hajj for socialists.

I think this is the right move. Cruelty to something that believes it is experiencing pain is not ok.

i think the first one was so electric because fincher and sorkin is a kind of cold/hot friction but by all accounts sorkin cannot be trusted with directing himself.

i absolutely refuse because i know who i am but corinne and i both have an array of little treats we buy and withhold from each other and strategically deploy as surprises and i was looking for tape and found these and now i feel like i ate 65% More orange tic tacs while doing a powerpoint.

*to be fair* i had already eaten all the carrots and yogurt and raisins and i had a liter of water in between fizzy shit and maybe two vegan sausage patties and also a stale onion roll. i tried my absolute best to choose wisely but it’s possible i am pregnant or about to go into hibernation.

felt bad with mine (who i really like!) getting down to business a few sessions in & being like, “i’m not one of those silly women who thinks there’s one simple trick but…….like…..things are not great in a lot of ways & i could really use one simple trick. if you have one. do you have one? gimme.”

snorted again. and it was loud. probably partially due to lengthening of my midface, caused by the release of testosterone during pubertal hormonal cascade.

last night eyewitnesses saw Oscar Belgal — the man shot by ICE with his 5 year old in the car — discharged from the hospital into ICE custody, with feds speeding off as NYPD cleared the roads for them of protesters. his attorneys don't know where he is; he's seemingly been taken out of NY state.

they laid off the guy who actually gets incisive, detailed trans and disability news coverage from inside the joint and that’s a pretty big fucking loss for us all. someone should hire eric now and let him do what he does (which is more than that, i am aware, but still).

multiple legislatures wanted to name anti trans laws “the millstone act” in reference to a bible verse about us being marched into the sea with a stone on our necks and i cannot help appreciate this as a counterpoint.

every single component of this, like anything, involves many people making small choices. and there always *are* choices; even if there’s a literal gun to your head, the choice you have is “do i or do i not take the bullet.”

there’s a lot of actually sensible curiosity about the minutiae of a US state-sponsored execution—who does lighting? are there ads? is there chat? who’s on crafts? is it multi cam? this is the actual banality of evil & if you are asked to facilitate this it is your task to instead stand in its way.
courtney love lies bleeding says:

who's gonna be the first company to sponsor that televised execution?
i am fascinated by the idea of ad breaks and what the cost will be.emily blight says:

this is the actual banality of evil shit. the person who provides the facilitator guide in an interactive pdf. is there a crafts table? someone will set that up.
you should not be one of these people.zoë “baddie proctor” quinn

there's gonna be a guy who does the sound check for the first livestreamed state execution. they'll probably have someone stand where the guy is gonna be shot to death by the state so that they can make sure the lighting, color, and framing is "correct" when people watch a man die.

some producer, probably within the next month, will decide if this man's death is a single camera setup or if they're going to do multi camera and if there will be
commentators. They probably have to design what will cover the faces of the shooters or look at headshots if there's no coverings at all
