The 5 lies of identity:

I am what I have.

I am what I do.

I am what other people say or think about me.

I am nothing more than my worst moment.

I am nothing less than my best moment.

In a Zoom meeting for work, and everything I said was dismissed as if it didn't matter. Turns out I was on moot.

Red state birth control plans 

Red state birth control alternatives are beyond invasive.

Well, it wouldn't necessarily be 3rd party for them. Samsung provides their own messenger app, by default. They could download the regular Android messenger app from the play store, and use that.

But, yeah, it would require action on their part.

Can any Galaxy/Android users help me understand why, when I text short videos to my parents from my iPhone, the videos are tiny and super pixelated? Seems like this didn’t happen with friends who had Android. They’re on an unlimited data plan so this isn’t a concern. I understand the current war between iMessage and RCS, green and blue bubbles, etc., but is this the reason or is this a possible setting on their phones? #android #sms #messenger #rcs

Short answer: Apple doesn't play well with others

Longer answer: When iphones can't text in their preferred (proprietary to Apple) format, they convert to what they consider a universal format. And your textees get grainy, tiny videos.

Whoever the drop-in "how very dare you!" drama queen was got blocked. I'm not here for that energy.

It's a nothing-burger, but the only people who buy that the two situations are like are rabid TFG acolytes.

Ugh this β€œBiden’s classified documents thing” is making me depressed. β€œBoth sides” is a drug that the major media just can’t quit. #politics

There is a video I won’t retweet where two #Ukrainian soldiers are killed after being clearly confused about who was holding a gun on them. #Russians are wearing Ukrainian uniforms for the attack. This is a war crime.

This week, a bailiff stopped me and acted as though I was in the wrong place as I walked through a portion of the courthouse that is restricted to attorneys and judges.

I'm an attorney. I was wearing a suit and conducting myself just like every other attorney in that area.

This is not the first time that has happened. I can think of several other instances in various counties where courthouse security has assumed that my black skin means I must not be an attorney.

I'm tired of it.
