Let's do something different than we did 2016-2020. We already know it's an outrage. The decisions coming from the top should come as neither shock nor surprise. Waste no breath on debates. They will not change. Let's turn to our communities. Unite. Grow strong. Fight the fights that matter.

Unfortunately, he knows exactly what he's doing - it's a stupidly effective tactic. He intentionally invokes the salute and claims plausible deniability. Bullies are talented at provoking outrage from targets and snickers from the in-group - a smirk that says "you can't prove I did anything wrong".

Anyone else feel like they spend more time in a third-person POV than they do seeing through their own eyes? Like an out-of-body experience where you’re floating some distance away while watching yourself move and exist in the world.

Being on social media - especially during crises - is like playing an extended game of Two Truths and a Lie. Be sure to fact check before sharing! I’m coming across a lot of misinformation and speculation.

I’m genuinely confused about the medical revelation that alcohol is highly linked to cancer. I was always under the impression that this was conventional knowledge. I guess I was walking around with some majorly unverified assumptions up til this point?

2025 resolution: Perform each audition as if it’s the best scene in the story. Even if it’s “just” Guard #2. ESPECIALLY if it’s just Guard #2.

“Don’t get rid of that - it might be worth something someday” I feel like this line of thinking is inevitable for just about anything you can imagine in whatever stage of capitalism we’re in. It’s becoming an increasingly radical act to consume in a consumerist world.

For folks who manage their #spoons: When you’re troubleshooting flare-up triggers, how much is acceptance of the chaos vs. playing detective? Sometimes I think I’ve cracked the case, only to get a series of exceptions that contradict my findings. How much is random vs. replicable?

For 2025, I’m thinking maybe of releasing my pressures of external validation. Does that sound dumb? idk i’ll probably pick a different intention

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

The next time you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, remind yourself that the things you’re dealing with would drive most millionaire self-help gurus into a total meltdown. It may or may not be true, but the thought can boost you with a smug sense of satisfaction to carry you through.

ADHD folks who meditate: do the overlapping noises, soundbites, and multiple chattering group dialogues fade away? Or do they blend into something like the roar of waves on a beach? If the internal crowd-sound does go quiet, how much alertness do you keep in case of an emergency?

If I could dispel one food-based myth, it’s that there’s such a thing as “healthy food” and “unhealthy food”. Some foods that are super healthy for one person are super unhealthy for others. Broccoli / kale = healthy for some folks, unhealthy for me. A burger = unhealthy for some, healthy for me

Why is it that a therapy provider can cancel on me multiple times in a row right as the appointment is starting, but if I cancel one time the night before, I’m the one who gets a $99 charge?

I feel like if we go by the logic that some topics are " too much for a young audience and parents will teach in their own time "... Then these shouldnt have been made then.... :/ 🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿

#Disney and #Pixar reps, hello! Trans nonbinary person and entertainment professional here! I am more than happy to discuss first-hand just how valuable trans-centered stories would be for parents to “discuss certain subjects with their kids”. Bring me on to consult on projects with your teams 🤝🏳️‍⚧️

I am thankful for Justine Bateman’s advocacy against AI displacing entertainment professionals, but I no longer see her as a voice of reason since her unmasking as a voice of MAGA. It’s a shame to see her throw in for cruelty and bigotry.

I know I have an allium intolerance, yet I still indulge in garlic and onion dishes every now and then - just in case it magically disappeared (or it was all in my head!). Nope! I am still VERY garlic intolerant! Not "kinda bloated" intolerant - more like "cheap wine hangover". Never worth it!
