  • Fun story:

    Be me in 2019 on a flight somewhere between Texas & DC. My phone is most assuredly on airplane mode. I have an idea pop into my head and I want to text someone in Maryland about it, so out of curiosity I start texting them while I’m in airplane mode. We were chatting on Google Hangouts I think it’s an obsolete app now but the icon was like this " one set of quotation marks in green, if you remember that app. From my location in an airplane at maximum cruising altitude I was able to have a full chat conversation with someone hundreds of miles away on the ground while my phone was in airplane mode. 🤷🏼‍♀️ How that was possible will forever be a mystery to me.


















  • In 2023-2024 I had a job where I quickly became aware that I was working much harder than they were paying me and I started to track every dollar against my efforts, becoming increasingly aware & bitter that 37% of my time there I was breaking my body as an unpaid volunteer because that’s how much the govt was deducting from my paychecks. And the net pay I was left with was not enough to survive. So glad I escaped & found a slightly better situation.
