I wanna be mad at these comments but they’re so true. I’m white and female, so maybe I’ll be fine. But it’s so fucking sad that this is the case. I’m not just worried for me, but for all the people who made this place home. A lot of minorities in that group.

I can cut butter to the exact weight each time.

That’s easy, just cut your morel open and check if it’s hollow. Supposedly, I wouldn’t know…

Morels are hard to find.

I don’t think Google home listens in.

Because I’d absolutely be disappeared by now if it did.

That people will use him or hurt him for his wealth. It’s almost like people are that desperate to have a tiny fraction of his money… if only there was a solution.

Any time my parents, on Whatsapp video, want to turn the camera round to show me something.

There was that time he called a rescue diver a pedo because he wasn’t allowed to use his unsafe sub. Oh, and his blatant takeover of the government.

Yeah, me either. The people responding to you aren’t talking about just abandoning them, I totally get people who have to rehome a pet or the case of the cat going mental and escaping. Struggles was allowed to roam outside and the guy said he was worried she’d get hit by a car in the new place. He told us he had multiple attempts to make her an inside cat that failed, and in the two weeks leading up to the move she was in our yard every day (his yard backs up to ours). He came and got her one week before, and literally by the evening she was back outside. Then moving day came and went, she hung out with us all the time, and I get a message that she wouldn’t come to him so he left her. He said he’d try again a week later but he never checked in. I literally could have handed her to him, so there was absolutely no credibility to his attempts.

The reason she hung out with us is so clear now. She is incredibly needy and loving, she loves human warmth, laps, and cuddles. She had a UTI and fleas that needed attention. She loves wet food and playing with the red dot. My neighbor left her outside in storms (she waIted by his back door for hours), said she hated wet food (aka he never tried) and once described her loving side as “she sat on the couch with me for the evening!” - he had no clue about the cat she actually is, so he adopted some cute kittens and moved away and left her.

Yeah, I have little patience for people who abandon good cats.

My dad bought me a $300 ice cream maker - it actually churns out really delicious soft serve style ice cream with barely any work. The issue is it’s about 100 lbs, the size of a small HVAC unit, and I put it away in our basement storage area. At this point it’s less effort to just buy the damn ice cream.

I upvoted because this isn’t reddit.

Asteroid is like “ok I’ll go back down to 2.3%, but don’t try that again”

Sure… I don’t wanna stop people going though. I just want people to consider what didn’t even enter my mind as someone who is new to all this. Read up, and be willing to protect yourself if you go. But I DO support people protesting if this is legit.

Excited to see people ready to take action, but just be careful. See the thread on this profile for more info: https://bsky.app/profile/ecmclaughlin.bsky.social (this user has set her account to logged in users only).

"Listen, for folks who don’t know, I was a part of a small organizing team that led to a mass mobilization in 813 cities worldwide in 2019.

I am not talking out of my ass.

You should be VERY VERY VERY careful in this environment about sharing flyers for events that identify NO organizer"

There was also a mod thread on r/albuquerque about it.

I am sure there will be BOTH legit protests and shitty people using this for nefarious reasons. I’m still on the fence about whether to drive 2 hours to my local one or not. I’ve already signed up for other things through mobilize.us anyway.

My dad would always say “don’t say sorry, DO sorry”. The apology will be present in your words and actions.

Also fair. Whatever helps.

Little old lady spends 20 months in prison for blocking a main road and being mad at rich people.

President of the United States, insurrectionist, creep, man who suggested he’d got a Nazi to hack the elections, certified felon, spends ZERO months in prison and gets to have a party.

This is why I smoke weed.

Omg I have one. Sara Lee chocolate gateaux. It was this triple layer cake of delight, and my parents would buy it for every party back in the 90s. This was before chocolate got shit, so it was alllllll of the good stuff. Probably some cocaine in there too, who knows. I fucking miss that cake.

I had chatgpt write me a frustratingly vague monologue to waste their time:

Dear DEIA Truth Team,

I hope this message reaches you well, as I have some observations that may be of considerable interest to your work. These observations, while still in the process of being fully understood, appear to touch on activities or initiatives that align with the themes outlined in recent communications from the OPM. While it is difficult to provide an immediate and definitive characterization of what I’ve encountered, I strongly believe there is something here worth your attention.

Initially, I wasn’t entirely sure of the implications of what I had noticed. It began with something very subtle—a detail here, a phrasing there. But as I continued to reflect on the broader context, I began to see patterns emerging. These patterns, though intricate, seem deliberate in their nature, almost as if they are designed to fly under the radar. This has led me to believe that what I’ve come across may be relevant to the goals of your initiative.

The observations I’ve made are not something one might notice at first glance. In fact, they could easily be dismissed as unrelated or coincidental. However, when examined more closely and considered within the framework of what your office is working to address, they start to take on a clearer shape. I’ve been carefully studying these patterns, and while the full picture is still forming, there is enough here to suggest that further attention is warranted.

What’s particularly intriguing about this situation is the degree of subtlety involved. The language I’ve seen used, while outwardly innocuous, carries undertones that suggest a deeper alignment with DEIA principles. It’s as though certain elements have been intentionally crafted to avoid detection, while still advancing a particular agenda. This level of precision and strategy is not something that happens by accident. It suggests a well-thought-out approach, one that may require careful unraveling to fully understand.

I’ve noticed, for example, repeated references to concepts that might otherwise seem harmless—phrases like “inclusive practices” or “collaborative approaches” that, on their own, wouldn’t raise any eyebrows. But when you start to look at the context in which these phrases appear, and the individuals who are using them, it starts to paint a very different picture. There’s a certain consistency in the way these terms are being deployed, and that consistency, in and of itself, is what stood out to me.

As I reflect on these observations, I find myself coming back to the same questions: What is the purpose of these recurring patterns? Why are certain individuals so focused on framing their work in this way? And how might these efforts connect to broader organizational objectives? These are not easy questions to answer, especially given the limited information currently available. But I feel strongly that there is more to uncover here.

It’s worth mentioning that these activities do not appear to be confined to a single department or initiative. Rather, they seem to be part of a larger, interconnected effort that spans multiple areas. This interconnectedness only adds to the complexity of the situation, as it suggests a level of coordination that goes beyond what one might typically expect. It’s this aspect—the apparent coordination—that I find particularly noteworthy.

The more I look into this, the more I feel that I am only scratching the surface of something much larger. There are layers to this situation that are not immediately visible, and it’s only through careful observation and analysis that these layers start to reveal themselves. It’s a process that requires patience and attention to detail, as well as a willingness to dig deeper than the surface-level information.

I’ve also noticed a certain reluctance among some individuals to engage directly with these topics, which in itself is interesting. While I cannot say for certain what this reluctance might signify, it does add another layer of complexity to the situation. It’s as though there’s an unspoken understanding among certain groups, an understanding that is difficult to articulate but impossible to ignore.

As I continue to reflect on all of this, I find myself thinking about the broader implications. What might these efforts mean for the organization as a whole? How might they influence future initiatives or policies? These are not easy questions to answer, but they are questions that deserve to be asked. The implications of what I’ve observed extend far beyond any single instance or individual, and they speak to a larger trend that is worth exploring in greater depth.

At this point, I am still working to make sense of everything I’ve seen. There are pieces of the puzzle that remain unclear, and I am hesitant to draw any firm conclusions until I have a more complete picture. However, I feel that it is important to share what I have noticed, even if it is still in the early stages of understanding.

The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that there is something significant here. It’s not just about the individual details, but about how those details come together to form a broader narrative. This narrative is one that I believe is worth your attention, and I am committed to doing everything I can to bring it to light.

I will continue to monitor the situation and reflect on what I’ve observed. As more information becomes available, I will revisit my findings and work to deepen my understanding of what’s happening. While there are still many unanswered questions, I am confident that the truth will become clearer with time.

In closing, I want to emphasize that these observations, while still incomplete, are not without merit. They represent the beginnings of a larger story, one that I believe has the potential to shed light on important issues. I look forward to seeing how this unfolds and am committed to sharing any additional insights I gain along the way.

Best regards

Here’s the prompt if you wanna do something similar:

Write an email designed to clog up a tip line while appearing to provide valuable information. The email should start with an urgent and promising tone, implying the sender has critical information. As the email progresses, it should become increasingly vague, repetitive, and frustratingly unhelpful, never offering any concrete details or actionable insights. Make it as long as possible without offering anything useful or clear, and avoid giving directives like “please let me know” or “how to proceed.” The goal is to waste as much time as possible while maintaining an air of importance.
