Done with therapy.
Spent our last session talking about “am I being a cultist” with my new found Buddhism obsession. (Therapist says no). I had to go there because of my life long habit of “wanting structure but also wanna stick it to the man”. My mind is good at gymnastics #therapy #MentalHealth #personal
How did I get here?

#Trump isn’t solely responsible for this. Through hundreds of interviews that Leonnig & longtime WaPo colleague Aaron Davis & conducted, we learned first hand how a mixture of fear & stubborn bravery, gutter politics & noble intentions ultimately paved the way for the unraveling of the #DOJ we are now witnessing. This decline started Trump’s first term but gained momentum in the #Biden presidency.

It’s true #Trump started it all when, in his first presidency, he tried to bend this venerable #law enforcement agency for his own #personal & #political #gain. Trump frequently failed in that effort, but, as learned after 2 years of reporting, all the while he was quietly succeeding in destabilizing the institution’s foundations — & weakening its resolve with his brand of bare-knuckle attacks. That imperiled the rule of law that has long assured all Americans impartial & fair #justice.

Made something of an expensive mistake last night dropping a big pot on the induction hob. The cost of repair is about the same as a new unit so I’ve ordered one on AO with measurements from the old and new data sheets and I just hope that it can be swapped like-for-like by the AO installer without involving a kitchen fitter.

Hello again, from the Write.as office in New York. I haven't posted in a while, partly because I've been trying to fit my thoughts into a box of what I think people expect out of my writing here. To release myself from that, I figured I'd share a jumble of what's been on my mind lately. [...]

Apparently that wasn’t enough.
In April, the #FCC sent a a blistering letter to #Disney CEO #BobIger saying it suspected the company was so thoroughly “infected” with “invidious” practices *favoring* *minorities* that it had no choice but to open an *investigation*.
Among other questions, the probe sought to determine whether Disney had really ended policies designed to ensure characters in its shows & its hiring practices favored “underrepresented groups.”
Meanwhile, a #Disney deal struck in January to buy a stake in the streaming service #FuboTV fell under scrutiny, too, with several reports that the #DOJ was investigating possible #antitrust violations.
The #FTC also launched a probe into whether Disney broke rules by gathering #personal #data from #children watching its videos without permission from parents. Disney settled the case earlier this month by paying $10M & agreeing to change its practices.

Me falta escribir un cuento acerca de políticos mexicanos, que en otro tiempo se consideraban el tema básico de la #literatura nacional.
(Y así me voy a quedar.)

Incluso si crees que una "IA" puede #escribir mejor que tú, ninguna de ellas –ni nadie más, para el caso: humano o no– puede quitarte la posibilidad de escribir como quien eres.
Y tampoco, por cierto, la de tratar de escribir tan bien como te sea posible. Si buscas objetivos, prueba con esos: escribir mejor de lo que ya has escrito; hacer lo que solamente tú puedes hacer.

Pushing Back on Chrononormativity — personal reflections
My first conscious run-in with chronormativity was when I embraced polyamory. We called it 'the relationship escalator'. The idea that relationships are expected to follow a specific pattern -- a specific chronology....
