I dipped a toe in the counter-opinion post waters of facebook, and did not get sent to facebook jail (yet). Why did I feel so compelled to speak out? Censorship. I’ve heard the complaints that big tech (social media) is controlling the narrative, but I didn’t want to believe it—until my nurse practitioner aka medical…
Or, equalist. But either way, what the actual eff is going on with these stories? There are so many women with so many un-funded entrepreneurial ideas (2.8% of VC funding goes to women). AND YET: A pink tampon removal glove got 30,000 euros. These women-in-tech stories are still happening. “Fixing Bias, Not Women”. OMG. Goodbye…
Happy Covidversary? A whole calendar year ago, I started posting some virtual things to do … and a whole year later, we still need this (and a state of the covid address tonight…) If you need a good laugh about a purported side effect of the pandemic, read Break a Toe Recently? You’re Not Alone…
I spent too long writing Convo 51, reacting to everyone’s reactions to Texas lifting the mask mandate and occupancy restrictions.

Uh oh, I’m back over here on my own blog writing about Covid again, peep the Convo if you’re into that sort of thing. If not, back to your regularly-scheduled, what-do-I-do-with-myself programming … Entertainment Definitely listen to Sacks and the City podcast episode 22. Cognitive biases. 520 new words made it into the dictionary! Cool list.…
Happy Inauguration Day. Appreciating Dr. Mercola’s Perspective on the Covid-19 Vaccine. Entertainment Sacks and the City podcast episode 21 One of the funniest poop stories I have ever heard in my entire life is told on a podcast I love but don’t listen to regularly, U Up? Podcast (~min 35). They also interview James Lafferty, my…
O rly? Lockdowns are scientifically ineffective. And have disastrous economic ramifications. There are all sorts of things to care about right now. One that feels “smaller” in significance compared to, well, anything else in our dumpster fire country is Austin’s banned camping ban (double negative: homeless or really any people can currently camp wherever they…
