I can believe that Elon would attempt to rig an election. You don't get to be a tech billionaire without having a god complex. But, I struggle to understand how someone could use a fleet of satellites to rig an election. ...how would that work? 🤔

I think a lot of men don't know how to have a sense of value without functioning as the ATM in a relationship. And that's not to deride them, no doubt they were taught by the world around them that this one of their only sources of value in the world.

I find it bizarre that in 2026 men are still expected to pay for a date. I’m not dating, I’m happily married, but if I were to date I would appreciate a man that insisted on splitting the bill. I wouldn’t want a man that expects me to cook and clean for him and so I wouldn't expect him to be my ATM. And I would lose respect for a man that is susceptible to being used as an ATM. And the nuance: A lot of this stuff comes from the imbalance of pregnancy. Bearing children is very difficult and dangerous work. And if a woman is looking to find a partner to have children with then it makes a lot of sense that she would want a man who shows that he is also willing to do difficult/dangerous things for the sake of the future family. And I think that is often where these traditions come from. The man needs to demonstrate his commitment to the relationship before she sacrifices her body to the relationship. But not all women are looking to start a family. Certainly if I were dating again that is not what I would be interested in. And there are many ways to show commitment beside just paying for things. And so it's much better to have a conversation than to just default to an outdated tradition.

The AI bots seem to be trained to photoshop people. It's really hard to get them to draw an image of me that keeps the texture to my skin without over correcting and making me look like I'm suffering from a new plague! But I think this image nails it.

I’m done with the trying to prove myself in life. I am very much the weird bitch that I set out to be. Now I’m just amusing myself with random sidequests.

If your sense of identity is based on anything circumstantial, you’re leading a very fragile life. If your sense of identity comes from having a pretty face, that will fade. If your sense of identity comes from having strong arms, that will fade. Your name, your sex, your nationality, your genetics, the color of your hair, all of these things were handed to you, they are circumstantial, they are not you. Even the things your chose, your career, the family you built, the house you bought, the car you drive, all of these things you can lose at any moment. And almost certainly, at some point in your life you will lose one of these things. The only thing you can’t lose, the only thing that isn’t circumstantial, is your character. Your character is what you actually are, and it’s the only thing that it makes sense to use as the foundation of your sense of identity. The tricky part is to have a sense of identity, to develop a character, that could be placed in any circumstance and still hold true. For example, if you are a middle aged Hispanic man from New York, you need to develop a sense of identity that could exists in the form of a teenage girl in rural China. To be solid, your sense of identity has to be totally separate from circumstance. The only things that can survive that are values, and qualities. Loving, kind, bold, determined, sensitive, patient, sharp, etc. You are a character profile, a set of values and qualities. Everything else is ephemeral.

Clinging to hierarchy is a means of escaping the heavy work of self actualization.

I’ve never had an abortion, I don’t ever want to, it’s a tragic thing to have happen. But the decision to do so or not needs to be mine. Always. If that decision should ever belong to someone else then I do not own my body. Should that decision belong to the state, then I am a slave of the state.

Frustration comes from a misalignment of expectation with reality. I thought humanity would be better by now. The reality is that we are not as good as I thought we would be.

There is a positive correlation between religion and the repression of women. Why?

Those who bear the consequences of a decision are the only ones fit to make it. Someone in a fancy suit hundreds of miles away who will not have to live with the outcome of the situation is wildly unfit to make difficult reproductive choices for others. No one has more of a right to make to make reproductive choices than a pregnant woman.
