Jerome Powell’s response to the current administration is a defining moment in today’s political climate.
I’d encourage everyone to watch the video and judge his stance for themselves.
You shouldn't have asked if...
An argument I came across recently that really chapped my ass was: “Well, you shouldn’t have asked if you were going to get upset.” This kind of response deflects from the actual issue and dismisses the very real emotions that come with difficult conversations.
If someone gets into a car accident, you wouldn’t say, “Well, you shouldn’t have been driving. Only people who drive get into accidents.”
People are allowed to have hard conversations knowing there’s a risk of discomfort. Being upset is part of human nature.
Venturing Further Into the IndieWeb
As I venture further into the IndieWeb, I become more interested in some of its principles and practices. Today, I purchased corey.social (how the hell was this even available?), set up my own Bluesky PDS (Personal Data Server), and hooked up cross-posting for true POSSE.
This first POSSE post is a big ole “fuck you” to billion dollar social media giants.
Feliz Natal!
Merry Christmas!
Can’t believe I get excited about wooden trolls and air compressors. Tis the sign of aging.
I Hate Putting Furniture Together
Took me 3 hours to put this together. I hate the process but it feels good to accomplish something with my hands.
With this, we’ve gained a ton more counter space and cabinet space in our tiny kitchen!!
