Biggest theft of our lives. That was our money and they handed the refund to corporations instead of back to you

No one - not a single person - created an Instagram account with the expectation that their photos would be used to generate AI advertisements.

If users had to proactively opt in to this, no one would. Instead, Meta doesn’t even notify you it’s happening.

If you are a waitress and no-call, no-show even one shift, you could get fired.

But you can be an ancient elected official at the highest levels of our government and just go AWOL for weeks or even months with no real explanation, and we're supposed to pretend that's... fine?

We really CANNOT have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.

seatbelts aren't designed for breasts.
Real blood wasn't used for period product testing until like 2023.
Female crash dummies weren't regularly used in crash tests until 2022.
Women are 30% more likely to die if her surgeon is a man.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women yet it takes 10 years to diagnose nd there's more research done on male pattern baldness than endo.
nd endo studies consist of how attractive endo patients are to males...

What the actual hell.

And you guys ask me why I don’t like AI. It’s because of the intentions behind it.

These people openly talk about turning intelligence into a utility they control and sell back to humanity like electricity.

One man or one company should never have that much influence over human thinking, creativity, learning, and decision making.

I genuinely don’t think kids should be heavily exposed to AI this early either. A generation growing up depending on machines to think for them is dangerous long term.

In 4 years I have lost:

- my right to an abortion
- my ability to obtain financial aid to pay for a degree
- my right to clean air and water
- my right to safe food free of forever chemicals
- my right to be represented in Congress as a taxpaying citizen through the VRA

I hate this country.

[Adele Bloch @adele_bloch]

how to life maxx more:

> get off your phone
> say yes to spontaneous plans even when you're tired - some of the best nights are unplanned
> talk to strangers - at coffee shops, events, literally anywhere. serendipity maxx
> make a bucket list and work your way through said bucket list!!
> stop opting for boring hangs. switch things up with your friends. try something new!!
> start a random hobby just for fun - pottery, dance, improv, cooking. not everything needs to "be productive" ok??
> be 5% more silly in your life. dance in your room, sing badly in the car, crack a bad joke. it's not that serious. grow the silly muscle
> surround yourself with people who make you feel lighter - your time and energy is precious
> don't forget the basics: move your body, get sunlight, take your vitamins, eat well, sleep
> your time to live life is happening NOW so stop saving it for later!!

we forgot that life is supposed to be FUN ya'll

lets go PLAY!!!

[Adele Bloch @adele_bloch]

stop thinking you can only get connection in a romantic relationship:

> be vulnerable with your friends
> build a full life outside of dating - hobbies, friends, goals - it will make your life more radiant
> be real with your friends - talk about what you're working through, offer real pieces of yourself, go beyond surface answers
> ask friends to hangout - put yourself out there to get recurring hangs on the calendar. relationships form over time
> give out open, thoughtful, positive energy to attract good people into your life
> put yourself out there. show up, even when it's scary. smile at strangers. ask genuine questions.
> if you give yourself permission to be like that in your friendships... your life will feel far more expansive, you'll be less desperate to find a gf, and in turn, you'll actually likely find a partner a lot faster

the results are worth it people!!!

“you don’t owe anyone anything” is for, like, trauma survivors learning to care about themselves for the first time or whatever. it’s not for you when you’re an Awful Friend

[Adele Bloch @adele_bloch]

everyone wants a village, but no one wants to be a villager

> drive your friends to the airport
> go to their party even when you're tired
> stop cancelling last minute
> host at your place
> support the wins & losses

it's worth every ounce of effort

[Boring_Business @BoringBiz_]

I will keep pounding the table on this because people don’t realize how bad it is

We are actively destroying family formation and upward mobility of people in their 20s and 30s just to make boomers happy

They are already the wealthiest generation by far. They already make up the majority of the political class

But it is still not enough
> more money printing that benefits the asset holders at the expense of savers
> more regulations that prevent new housing construction at the expense of new homebuyers
> more tax cuts that transfer wealth from the working youth to the idle old
> more deficits and national debt that the younger generation will have to bear the burden for

The youth no longer believe in a capitalistic system because their elders have taken it as hostage for themselves

The youth no longer have skin in the game of society. A generation with no stake in the system would rather watch it burn

[jay @plant_gorl]

my take is the hayley williams ticket sales should've been done by lining up at the venues day of release like u used to have to buy tickets at venues 15??? years ago

[jay @plant_gorl]

can someone pls explain to me why there's so many tix available on stubhub for the hayley williams tour when the tickets are supposed to be nontransferable???

but also im tryna go to any nyc date so if they were transferrable wouldn't it have to be listed on ticketmaster???

[jay @plant_gorl]

[jay @plant_gorl]
