Emi, resting 😷

I will respond to your email/DM (a) in two minutes, (b) in two months, or (c) never. Nothing personal I am just Exhausted.

As you might've noticed, I'm not on this account anymore. Instead, you can find me...professionally running games of DnD! If YOU want to go on whimsical adventures or give somebody the gift of a one-shot for the holidays, find me at startplaying.games/gm/emi :) RTs appreciated!

(I'm also at EmiDoesMath.bsky.social, in theory.)

My ex-roommate is threatening to sue me on grounds so absurd I cannot describe them with a character limit. Still, she has lawyer money, apparently, and I don't. We live in hell!

Hey California friends! Do any of y'all know where I can get free (civil) legal advice? Rather urgently. Any advice/resources v appreciated!

Excellent piece from @aparna_gopalan about how the UAW betrayed its ceasefire call and undercut its fight for a more powerful, political labor movement jewishcurrents.org/what-the-uaw-c…

Nothing screams late-stage capitalism like deploying prison slave laborers to destroy homeless encampments.

We say no to NSA recruitment at #JMM2024 and beyond. #MathMinusMilitarism

@snackowska We really do live in hell

still can't believe i live in a society where the definition of a fulfilling life is going to a restaurant and infecting the staff with covid

@siwelwerd "You'll only get the grade you've EARNED" etc is... mostly a way to avoid thinking about the subjective nature of all grading and the power dynamics of academia, IMO. (Also, there are better ways to avoid grade negotiating than this dictatorial stuff.)

Urgent call to support radical migrant struggle in Tijuana: Doña Esther is a migrant from Oaxaca, a Zapotec woman, a mother, a deportee, a chef, & an organizer in Tijuana & she is being evicted. This is a call to keep this struggle nourished. Please share.gofund.me/64b86cac

Big thanks to my friends for messaging me to tell me the good news. I don't believe in hell but I'll make an exception for Kissinger.

Extremely kind of Henry Kissinger to die on the international day of solidarity with Palestine. Ally.

@AJMooreHealth JFC ?!

@zacarias_cabron Some people considered filing a complaint abt our local's staff in the last round of contract ratification fuckery, but I don't think it went anywhere due to, like, obvious reasons (lack of resources, despair, etc). Godspeed if you try it though 👀

@zacarias_cabron Not the same but some 2865 members appealed the 2018 contract ratification for reasons including staff fuckery (I think - it's been a while since I read the appeal) and the result was, of course, "we investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong" lol.

26-year-old forest defender Tortuguita was shot at least 14 times with their hands raised. none of the officers will face criminal charges for the first killing of a US climate protester. the AJC appears to be accusing them of pre-death thought crimes in their diary. speechless

Thread of COVID PPE deals for the Month of November 🦃:

@koaakapueo Love this for you!!!

Important update she's definitely my cousin and really nice 😭 so happy im pushing past my insecurities and connecting

Imagine if I'd gotten hit by a bus, instead of just trying to get vaccinated. (Mind you, if I get COVID waiting around for this to get resolved, that won't be much better.)

If I have health insurance but can't actually use it, do I really have health insurance?

Extremely unsurprising twist which literally everyone predicted: this is now preventing me from getting vaccinated. Great stuff. Love the system we have going on here.
