Not mine, but more stuff on the wall today

I like it and think it's the best scheduler out there, but I just think maybe I should use the native apps. Though I hate using the native apps lol.

Yeah I’m thinking I’m gonna end up not keeping these apps past the trial.

Trying something new! I really hate having to be online, so I’m trying to use a social media scheduler. This app is called OneUp, and I’ll try Later again later. Random photo for obvious social media reasons. 🌇

Lol iiiiiii barely have a presence on here. One day! Actually looking at some schedulers right now, since you know I hate being online.

I trust @meganbradenperry.com and she shares my distaste for Thanksgiving po-boys, but she assures me the one at Sammy’s on Elysian Fields is legit.

Makes me miss the good ol days!

The entire @openlibrary.org team would like to express our deep sadness at the loss of our friend Greg Newby who, for years, has seeded @gutenberg.org with public good, open access values worth continuing to follow. Thank you for your beautiful contributions. You are missed.

This! I work in tech. AI could be useful if we did it in a way that prioritized sustainability and reduced the cost to humanity. But, capitalism wants its profits, and that isn’t a justification to use it, IMO.

Oh, hey, opening night is a week from today!

It's my favorite city! In 2032, I'll consider moving there.

Thank you. So are you! Shit it might be someone you know, they post a good bit about Chicago and other things you'd know about. Probably been in the wild frfr with this person.

2. If I'm not a journalist, we better alert all the newspapers, magazines and websites for whom I've written! And oh my gosh I'd better let a real journalist take over the nonprofit weekly newspaper I founded too.

3. Ya maw, heaux.

1. However, if "most people that [sic] know" me "absolutely can't stand" me, well that's news to me. Also I don't care if anyone likes me. I'm an only child and grandchild who had no family left by 17. I'm good, love.

People are so mean. Ugh! This is one of the things I despise about having a forward-facing career. Came across this today, and for like five minutes it hurt my feelings. FURTHERMORE, I AM NOT AN INFLUENCER! NDC if you are "influenced" by me! Not my, not my problem. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Last time I went on an international press trip, the stars aligned and I was able to write for @oxfordamerican.bsky.social about the parallels between Grenada, Memphis and New Orleans.

Spent about FOUR HOURS today tryna set up my printer on my new computer, so that I could scan my IRS 501(c)(3) document so I can get listed on Guidestar.

It's interesting that the IRS mail is more up to date than the website.

Anyway. Did it. But later than I wanted, so I'm waiting on Guidestar.

Ayyyeeee thank you so much!
