Sticky note with the quote: 
"A demonically good time—a vicious satire of startup culture and urban fantasy alike, leavened with romance."

People who suddenly feel like their transphobic “jokes” and “fairness in sports” takes are a bad look while the government forcibly detransitions people don’t get to say “oh that’s not what I meant!” You did mean it! People told you what it meant and you did it anyways!

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.

Holy shit. These people shouldn’t be near sharp cutlery, let alone seats of power.

February was a rough month so I'm happy to see it go. I feel like i'm drowning. Started with a burst pipe in my condo building, my childhood bff's mom passed away, my parents lost one of their dogs, and yesterday my eldest niece went to the ER with a blood sugar of 500+

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.
