“Karp’s message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working-class men—more political power to transfer to you.”

These fucking women-hating weirdo assholes.

I used to think my nemesis was the finance bro. My mistake. It's the Tech Bro. Specifically, this kind.

#BlackJoy reporting from the Bay area:

it is a balmy sunny 75 and I have walked Benson through his favorite spots,
chatted extensively with 3 neighbors (oh the tea I have gathered!),
gave doggo a robust breakfast and post meal mommy scritches (he likes a good rub down after eating),
made a probiotic smoothie for middle aged gut health,
and all I want is to live my best Lady Bachelor life and enjoy this incredibly gorgeous day.

These assholes of Global Jankery won't stand in my way today!

I don't know how extroverts (or folks who like socializing) do it.

Two days of people-ing.
A whole weekend.
TWO whole weekends.
A whole MONTH of weekend people-ing.

I'm exhausted.

This may be one of the most effed up racist things ever that an AI has ever done. https://apnews.com/article/washington-dol-spanish-accent-ai-3a1b8438a5674c07242a8d48c057d5a3

So I weighed myself tonight when I got home.

I looked down.

Huh. That can't be right.
I step off and on.

Y'all, how the EFF did I lose 6.9 lbs since Feb 15? I only took 3 doses of Wegovy so it's not that. (And I'm not likely to continue.)

Maybe it's gas weight...

Anyway, I'll occasionally be posting about my Journey to Not Being a Filipina Teapot.

(If you saw pictures of alllllll the cousins and Tías on my mom's side of the family, you'd see what I meant. Apples on sticks, all of us.)

Gotdammit!

The Fruit of the Loom Japan Athletic Formal Suit is already sold out!!

That would have been perfect for my Gala in June.

Stretchy pants! And a slouchy blazer!
So comfy!!

It has been a cracking media week at my org @EqualRightsAdvocates@sfba.social.

From Title IX defense to amici briefing, we've had our gender justice fingers all up in some patriarchal pies.

Let's go!

Men+the ultra wealthy.

The venn diagram of these two groups basically defines the biggest fucking problem we have. As a society.

I'm so tired of all of them.

Swear to god. Dealing with some people is like being in a glass case of emotion.

And like that, my Wegovy journey is over.

As per instructions I reported some side fx to my provider: clamminess, high resting heart rate (90-94 bpm), low blood sugar, anxiety. I didn't think they were so bad (ok the heart thing was making me go...🤔).

They were like, immediately: STOP YOUR MEDS.

So I'm not going to take more doses until I get checked out.

SIGH.
They're really gonna make me do this the old school way.

Fuck.

As I was changing into stretchy pants listening to the SOTU, I prayed fervently that he would choke on his tongue.

Why does the universe ignore me.

I want that man's bowels to unmoor themselves so hard he turns himself inside out.

This SOTU is really bonkers.

If I wasn't a well informed person who works with public policy advocates, I'd come away from this speech thinking the streets were running drugs, cartels and rapists and he actually did what he said he did.

His seething nastiness leaks out whenever he berates the Dems for not standing.

#sotu2026

Oh god. Tonight is the SOTU.

I have to listen to that for media purposes.

That shoe is really slow to drop for some folks.

But at least they're aware?

Minnesota Twin City neighbors are still going through it. That so-called 'draw down' was a ploy to get media to leave and it worked. ICE and Border Patrol are still everywhere and they haven't stopped.

There's a lot going on everywhere but if you can still be a witness and amplification point for Minneapolis/St Paul, that would be great.

I love that the #superbowl tag is either wizardy owls or toots making fun of American football.

Dearly Beloved, He's not changing direction. We need to be able to tell the difference between PR strategy and reality. As long as Miller, Vance, Noem, Vought are in this administration (and all of their little friends, too), and weirdo unfucked fash billionaires are still pouring money into their pockets to turn this world into a dystopic hellscape, they aren't changing direction. They do not fucking care how many nice white people they shoot in the back or face. (I actually would not be surprised if the next nice white person they murder is a faith leader. Because it makes them look *hard* to their Nazi and Christo Fash base.) They aren't going to change direction unless they are *forced*. And that force will need to be mighty and merciless. I know we are all looking for signs that things are going to ease up. This ain't that.

In 2026 the Heritage Foundation’s 2026 blueprint, Saving America by Saving the Family kicks into gear. People who are NotMen, this is for y'all. This is the State moving into a phase where control is achieved through your bank account rather than violence. ⛓️The Financial "Tether" (FAM Tax Credit) The Policy: Heritage proposes a $17,670 tax credit (matching the current adoption credit) but limits it to married, biological parents, paid over 4 years (Heritage Report, p. 12-15). The Trap: By conditioning thousands of dollars in survival capital on "first marriage" and biological parenthood, the state creates a "Marriage Bonus" that acts as a penalty for anyone choosing an alternative path. 1/
