Emotions themselves are neither good nor bad, but they *are* powerful. Especially anger. It has some uses we need right now.
Many of us were literally told there were things we were *not allowed* to be angry about. That is authoritarian control. People "above you" do NOT get to tell you what you may or may not be angry about.
most of my work doesn't really look like work, it looks like some kind of fruitless struggle to bring order to the universe or at least to other people's work, or something.

Do people who want to use AI to summarize everything really not understand the value of summarizing and comparing things yourself? Like not even a pro/con AI thing, just if the AI did the work, your brain didn't and so you lost the opportunity to understand something for yourself.
I have done eight distracting things while trying to read one email.

STOP reading the books
STOP watching the movies
STOP buying the merch
STOP playing the games
STOP fucking talking about it
STOP engaging with this franchise altogether
PERMANENTLY
every dollar and every moment you spend towards the harry potter fandom gives it and by extension transphobia space in our cultural consciousness and harms trans people directly
KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF

Mรพ Kestrel แแแขHey #Trans #Librarians and allies, help spread the word. A friend & some others did a paid panel for UNC SILS 1 year ago today, on trans & gender diverse experiences in #libraries, but the school still hasnโt paid them & continues to stonewall. It is unconscionable for them to renege on paying trans people to tell their stories & treat them like problems for pursuing what they are owed. Be warned fellow #trans folks about working with University of North Carolina. https://stephengkrueger.com/2025/04/08/happy-birthday-to-the-panel-that-unc-sils-still-has-not-paid-us-for/
