Imagine telling women who have experienced extreme violence that your solution for them is further violence. I cannot own a gun for my mental health. We can protect everyone by working to prevent violence.

I was reinforcing the request. I did a couple general prompts with your claim and think there's some research to support it, though it's not much; and, as with anything, there's nuance.

Shit, I only have two songs so far. Let me rephrase: requests are necessary

Well hey, good news! She wants to raise the minimum wage, too. But I see that as a side step, as well. Stronger worker/union rights overall would be ideal.

That and workers rights, please. And education. And childcare. And general healthcare.

We have some in the Midwest as well

Ah, one of my favorite numbers to sing to my limited captive audience. ITS THE FINAL CAT MEOWWWW

Full album will be available spring 2026. Requests welcome.

In this service gig economy, the $50k is absolutely huge. How many can use that to start up serious independent social media channels? Don't mind me over here day dreaming. That's a good year salary to try to generate income, and if successful can create more jobs by hiring extra help for editing, management, etc. Think of it like a drop in the bucket with what Putin was willing to pay propagandists per episode.

Also, $35k sounds like a good down payment in most states

Total tangent here, but I have a lot of cognitive dissonance around Butker. I mean I call him Butt Kicker. He's an amazing athlete but has gross political ideas and power.

What's dumber, I was upset to hear Brittany Mahomes passively endorsed Project 2025. I wasn't terribly surprised that's her stance, but seeing her confirm it and quickly backtrack with petty bullshit just. Ugh. Meanwhile, our other star players Kelce and Mahomes are keeping their mouths shut as Swift is taking heat. Idfk. Just a bunch of drama that makes me feel like I'm back in high school, but the stakes are much, much higher.

One of my favorite pass times is asking ChatGPT my hypotheses with prompts to search the web for academic sources (the free version is limited, but it works for a good few prompts over a few hours and let's you know when the cool down period is over).

Any time we make claims, it's very likely at this stage of human technology that there's research on it you can access and hone ideas around. Anecdotes can be really powerful in driving our interests and pursuit of knowledge, but I think we should always check in and be aware we're biased, fallible, sometimes hypocritical creatures.

Wait what? I can't tell if you're serious, but if so, I'd love to see research on the first part of your comment. If you were joking please feel free to ignore me.

I just want to vent a bit - I started seeing someone a few weeks ago. Old fling that I ran into through some friends that got rekindled, and I was excited that it seemed like more than just casual hookups this time. But there were some yellow flags I ignored that turned out to be red flags, and now I'm feeling frustrated and hurt.

Dude for real dropped the line that men are more "capable" and "logical" on me. That gender studies are "indoctrination." I told him we should probably stop seeing each other if that's really what he thinks. It wouldn't be logical for me to keep seeing someone that thinks lesser of me, now, would it?

I'm grateful to have some guy friends that I turned to after I left, cuz I wanted to go into "fuck all men" mode, but I know it's not true or helpful. Just like there are women out there that have internalized misogyny, there's feminist men, enbies, etc. We're all just people and we're not monoliths beholden to differences in biology. This is just sexist, manosphere bullshit in particular

Anyway. I'm still feeling angry and wanted to put it out there for some support and solidarity. Anyone have a recent win they'd like to share or something?

ETA: Thank you so much for the conversation y'all! I've been trying to keep up but I gotta get some sleep. I'll check in later but hope everyone has a good day. Keep up the empowerment! 💜

 

I know it's not the most engaging or thought provoking question, but I'm having a bad day and would really like to find a space to vent
