Posing for Pink

I’ve had women, including my own patients, tell me the only time they’ve ever truly rested was when they were too sick to function, injured, or hospitalized. Because that’s the only time the world stops demanding things from them or the only time they feel empowered to say no. If the only way a woman is “allowed” to rest is by being unwell…what kind of world are we living in?

how can you not be romantic about space

Take a look at my tweet from 6 days ago.

Women who choose not to have children face more outrage than men who abandon the children they already have.

Fund our National Parks

Buried at the bottom of the trash heap that is the news... Donald Trump's EPA greenlit more toxic coal ash dumping, removing Obama and Biden-era protections. You know... The stuff that's full of arsenic, lead, and mercury that poisons water and causes cancers and other illnesses in low-income communities. We should be talking about that more.

Researchers sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human. The other was rewritten by ChatGPT. The AI picked the ChatGPT version 97.6% of the time. A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B. Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself. GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won. Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective. It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect. Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance. 99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time. If you wrote your own cover letter this week, you did not lose to a better candidate. You lost to a worse candidate who paid OpenAI 20 dollars. Your qualifications do not matter if the AI prefers its own handwriting over yours.

Seen in Minnesota farm country...

Interestingly enough, in the golden tradwife years of the 50s and 60s, millions of women were prescribed amphetamines and tranquilizers just to get through the day. Valium was so widely prescribed it was actually known as “mother’s little helper.” It’s almost like stay at home motherhood and performative femininity aren’t guaranteed vehicles to happiness. 💁🏻‍♀️

I was born in 1980 and we DID. And TV too! Because that's what was ON... And that's why I can still sing the intro AND outro to Mr. Ed.

Beyond parody

The Secret Service doesn’t give you a choice. For decades we’ve seen in EVERY case where there has been a Presidential security breach, they tackle you, shove you, hell they will carry the President kicking and screaming if they have to. But twice now with Trump, they’ve shrugged and let him get his photo op or return to the stage?

Just a reminder that there is actually a way to stop gun violence in this country. The Republicans have simply decided to prevent that from happening.

BREAKING: Stunning new polling from Fox (of all places) shows 55% of Americans believing Donald Trump is not mentally well enough to be President. Woah.
