some people don’t want to climb the corporate ladder, even if they used to.

some people don’t want to go “above and beyond.”

some people want less responsibility, not more.

some people want to do the job they were hired to do and be done.

there is *nothing* wrong with this.

we need to normalize language like this. you don’t have to work 90 hours a week to be “dedicated.” you don’t have to love your job. you CAN be in it just for the paycheck. that’s literally what a job is: payment for services.

this rhetoric of “what success looks like” is a falsity we have been tricked into believing to maximize corporate profits. success looks different depending on who and when you ask… sometimes success is getting up in the morning, and sometimes it’s getting promoted. it’s all relative, and we need to remember that.

#Podcast Exclusivity Is Quickly Becoming an Outdated Strategy

We now actually have confirmation rent isn't being paid at Twitter HQ (previous headlines mistook a different SF office where rent wasn't being paid for HQ). HQ is where Elon himself works.

I cannot for the life of me understand how the landlord is resisting the temptation to physically have Elon Musk, second richest man in the world, thrown out of their building in front of news cameras.

Today I learned from @0xabad1dea that a lot of large solar farm owners use sheep herds to maintain their grass and they're called solarpunk sheep and life seems a little better. 🤘

Y conste que estoy medio contenta con las "redadas" a las consultoras.

Para estar contenta entera los inspectores deberían haber metido fuego a los cuatro edificios.

Con los curritos fuera, claro.

The UK Government is over-ruling the Scottish Parliament on a matter of human rights. This is an outrage and a dark day for democracy in the UK.

People in the top 1% of the consumption distribution bear a disproporionate responsibility for CO2 emissions and thus for climate change. And aviation is a major part of this. (Source:@zoe_institute) 5/

Doesn't it bother anyone that the winning #podcasts of the recently announced #Signal Awards feature some illustrious names such as JJ Abrams, HBO Max, Trevor Noah, Netflix, Viola Davis, Al Jazeera, and ABC News?

What exactly are these awards celebrating? Big budgets?

Can we at least have a #category for truly independent #podcasters working on shoe-string budgets? Or is #podcasting also doomed to be overrun by the mainstream?

Every person I've ever met with an anti-immigration stance...

It never ceases to amaze me that you can be stuck on a problem for 2 days, say “screw it I’m going for a walk around town” and then solve it fifteen minutes into the walk.
