My Congressman emailed his constituency this week to tell us to stop overreacting. Jesus fucking Christ. Maine’s governor may have stood up this week, but half our delegation (Collins and Golden) are embarrassments.

As a fundraiser for a domestic violence resource center, I've been expecting this. But that doesn't make me any less angry. I don't believe we'll see this funding return for DVRCs anytime soon.

I’m realizing that the weird silver lining of working in a nonprofit dedicated to supporting survivors of gender-based violence is that I don’t have the helpless feeling so many are experiencing, because I can fight against this shit all day like it’s my job. Because it is.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

This has been a ridiculous 36 hours to be working at a nonprofit. I truly think the firehose tactics out of the gate is to fatigue and overload us for the things to come.

Heard the "My name is Lt. Aldo Riane..." clip and thought might be fun to do an Inglorious Basterds rewatch. Then I remembered Brad Pitt (domestic abuse), Eli Roth (alleged predator), Quentin Tarantino (abuse), Michael Fassbender (domestic abuse)

I can’t with the blindly cloying pieces about Sen. Collins voting no on Hegseth. She votes no on these things when they have the votes. She votes yes when they need her. She votes to carry conservative bullshit first and secure reelection as a close second. No ethics about it.

Being in a writing workshop is wild because sometimes we talk about metaphor and meaning and art, and other times we talk about which generations do/don’t use a grinder as standard practice before packing a bowl.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010. It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.
