Man, you would kind of expect climate change to be a conservative issue more than a liberal one. Like basically any other concept that "the world is getting worse over time; we need to return to the past" is super conservative. But climate change denial is still a very conservative position.

worldbuilding will have you looking up things such as “racism in the Soviet Union” which then leads to you almost entirely revising how you’re going to go about the Soviet power struggle in the 70s & looking into the rehabilitation of Khrushchev and Lenin-era policies

Companies are always like "we value you! You need to take care of your mental health!" And then when you call out because you can't stop crying and don't know why and snapped at a customer (because it's the anniversary of your father's death where you held him as he slowly died and your body had a trauma response without you even realizing it) its "oh you let down the team. You've only worked here a month, you're not allowed to call out!" And then they write you up for it. Despite the store manager saying "yeah, you don't sound like yourself. You should stay home."

i think more business owners should look inward when they complain about issues. is it annoying to have to hire multiple times a year? yes, absolutely. WHY do you think the turnover is so high if everyone says they enjoy the work?? surely. no. it couldn't be the person in charge.

how can you champion free speech and then celebrate when millions of voices on tiktok are censored. hypocrite.

I didn’t want to talk about politics on this blog but, oh well, here we go. Response under the cut.

Let me preface this: I’ve never been a fan of TikTok and when talk of a ban first started to come onto the scene 6 years ago, I thought it was a good thing, for a multitude of reasons but I won't go into all of it. I'll focus on what the proposed ban and SCOTUS corresponded to. This is a topic of US national security and the type of precedents it sets for foreign companies operating in the US. I thought it would be good to act now [2019] rather than later [2025] because looking at the growth curve, it was a service that would easily become so popular that lawmakers would find themselves in an impossible position and a ban would never happen. 

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what’s happened. Again, in my opinion, now a horrible precedent exists. To any foreign government out there, the message is that you are allowed to enter US markets under any pretense, with zero reciprocity for US companies, and as long as you are popular and influential enough the US government and population will go out of its way to facilitate your access

If we are going to go to such extraordinary lengths for a foreign company and government the US must make a demand of absolute reciprocity, in my opinion. Meta, X, Google, Snapchat, and other US-based technology companies must be allowed total market access in China immediately with zero control by the Chinese Government (because that is what they have done through ByteDance owning Tiktok). When the Chinese government inevitably laughs at this demand, ask yourself why. They correctly see Meta, X, Facebook, and Google as instruments of US soft power and as cultural contamination of their civic ideal which undermines their hold on power.

However, we seem to naively believe we're immune from the same influence and have waited so long to act now that we face terrible choices. The one we've made inevitably means we will have a natural experiment now of what it means to allow a government that actively seeks to undermine our civic institutions with the most powerful known technological tool to do so. And the fact that the CCP and ByteDance decided to “shut it down” rather than divest it tells us everything we need to know. No free enterprise would willingly shut off access to 170 million users. 

Also, we should be concerned that millions of Americans acted like drug addicts going through withdrawal when they couldn't access a social media app for roughly 12 hours. That is also cause for great concern. But that's a conversation for another day.

I gots a wisdom to share :>

I'm bored at work so I'm seeing if I should report my old company for violating labor standards.

[eileennatural]

talking to my dad about the job hunting process is nice bc i get a lot of nice advice like "don't sell yourself short" and "don't accept less than x position" and "you should be making at least x" which is all well and good to hear except. well really I'm more concerned right now with getting A job rather than the perfect job. You know ?

[bauliya]

it’s kind of insane the only two kinds of jobs that exist for social science graduates in India are sanghi shill or barely paid research role for rich kids seeking to pad resumes for gradschool/scholarships

'AB should have stayed on cromwell's good side and supported his policy, which she believed unduly favoured those of the realm who were already wealthy and would disadvantage the poor'...........you are not serious people.

[doodlemancy]

do you have a twitter account and a few minutes to help me out?

i am being impersonated by a spam bot and twitter won’t deal with it but i have A Theory as to how to Make Them Pay Attention:

this creepy impersonator using my avatar popped up the same month i started posting links to my gofundme (🥺) on twitter, so it’s probably intended to scam would-be donors, whether via DMs or showing up in my replies to redirect people to donate to the wrong place or something.

support has been (predictably) useless so far-- i think the reports are ending up in the wrong basket and i’m getting automated nonsense as a result. here’s what i want people to do:

1. go to the scammer's profile 2. click the (...) icon 3. click report 4. choose "Everyone On Twitter" 5. “They're being impersonated or shown a deceptive identity” 6. "Pretending to be them" > 7. enter @doodlemancy and select that account from the list (NOT doodlemancyart; they’re impersonating my main account, that’s what we want support to see) 8. choose No (you are not technically a Legal Representative) 9. choose Yes, Continue 10. if you have the time, write a little ditty in the Additional Context about how this popped up the same month as my gofundme and is probably trying to take advantage of people wrt that by impersonating me 11. submit! (THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!)

also lmao @ the nonsense they put in the bio... like i don’t think anyone is actually at the wheel here, but it’s creepy to have this floating around and i want it gone.

[slechterick]

also one of my cats just committed infanticide

[narugen]

have not been here in like months or something but i urge everybody to also educate themselves on what’s been happening to palestine because it is so much worse than anything they’ve ever had to go through
