Lots of things I like about freelancing, but having to explain that I don’t get a paycheque every month and therefore can’t do things for free is not one of them. Freelancers have no sick leave, no paid holidays and no benefits, and if we do something for free it means less time to earn in.

Simple argument here: if this was happening you'd be able to point to a company that was actually doing it. You'd be able to point to the jobs and the ways in which they'd replaced them with AI and the ceo would talk about it openly. Is that really too much to ask? Yes. The answer is yes

Men have no right to dictate anything regarding women's bodies. Nothing! Reproductive health and rights of women are uniquely personal and crucial. This is a hill I WILL die on.

I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover. No, he did not fail. He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US. That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.

Apropos of nothing, I once owned a Renault Clio, and the only way I could remember the end of the number plate, 'EFP' was by naming the car 'Elaine Fucking Paige'. True fact. #totp

Seriously, a good rule of thumb for life is, if you find yourself on the opposite side of a contentious argument to the Quakers, you need to take a deep breath and consider the very high likelihood that you’re the one who’s wrong.

Americans are rightfully worried that they are going to die if Medicaid and Medicare are slashed by Rs. Joanie Ernst response to that at a TH was “we’re all going to die”. The callousness of her response is the same as other Rs. They don’t care if we die so long as they get their tax cuts. #MomSky
