- It's time to make some ball warmers, y'all. Pull out the remnants of your pink pussy hat yarn and get knitting.
- Reposted by EstelleWhite people thought they could stop this by just standing in the way while being white. Nah. You with us now. You’re expendable. They will have someone kneel on your neck until you perish. Then say it was your fault. Welcome.
- Reposted by EstelleAlright people - We're wearing black all week. If you have mandated work attire, such a color coded scrubs, put a black band on your badge or on your arm. We owe it to Alex. 🖤
- Reposted by Estelle"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
- Lyon. I spoke the fewest languages (just 3). The guy from Mauritius I think spoke the most (7).
- Yesterday evening, I hung out in a pub and spoke Spanish with two French women of Moroccan descent, then we switched to English when a man of Syrian descent and a man from Mauritius joined us. Then we switched to French when a woman from Jordan and a Spanish/Italian man joined us. I love it here!

- Epstein and Trump's friendship ended after a bidding war on a Florida property. Trump won the bidding war, but Trump was infuriated. The friendship ended. Two weeks later, came the anonymous "tip" implicating Epstein. Who do you think made that call? Why has this never been investigated?

- Reposted by EstelleI used to think they were all nuts when they’d carry on non-stop about deep state cabals, powerful pedophile rings and highly connected sex traffickers. It turns out they knew exactly what they were talking about. They were talking about themselves.
- Filed my first reimbursement request for medical care (chiropractic) in France. It took about 10 minutes to create an account, add my bank info, and submit all my receipts. Four hours later, the money was already in my account. I would have still been on hold with a non-responsive rep in the USA.
- I am going to Paris for a month to dog sit. I'll be there starting tomorrow through Christmas, New Year's, and my Birthday. I'll be leaving Paris on January 4. I don't know anyone in Paris. Any connections for me? Meetups (that meet in December?) to join? Does anyone want guests for Christmas?
- I was planning on dressing up as a sick number seven for Halloween this year, as a pathetic pun, "sick seven", a play on "6/7". But I am in a new city, in a different country, and know no one. If anyone dresses up as my bad dad joke, please send me a photo.,

- Reposted by EstelleThat’s exactly what it is. It’s also why we see that stupid FAFO shit about red states as if Black people don’t live there. Everybody wants to shit on the south when literally all of American culture is a derivative or a reaction to Southern Black Culture.

- Comme vous le savez peut-être déjà, je déménage à Annecy dans 2 semaines. J'arrive le 12 juin. N'hésites pas à me contacter dès mon arrivée. Demandez-moi mon numéro. Si tu tombe sur ma messagerie, parle lentement, car mon français est plutôt moyen et pas du tout celui de ce millénaire.

- Anyone currently in or near the French alps? I'm looking to do social stuff with people who i can also talk shop with. Y a-t-il quelqu'un près d'Annecy ou du Grand Bornand? Je cherche à dîner ou à faire des ballads en montagne avec des gens avec qui je peux aussi discuter de choses techniques.

- Reposted by EstelleOk, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

- I only opened a FB account this summer, but I had to permanently delete it due to fascism. If we want to take the USA back to the 1950's, maybe we should start by looking at CEO salaries. Support for fascism has more to do with income inequality than a trans child playing little league.

- Last week, we said goodbye to dad. I spent the first week of the year holding his hand; showing him videos of his grandchildren to bring him joy. I said goodbye on Monday. He lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on Thursday. We are glad he is no longer in pain. obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/guy-weyl
- Hegseth says he should be confirmed because his lack of experience will bring a new and different perspective while stating that only those who have all the necessary experience and qualifications should be employed by the military. He would not hire himself for this role, but we should?

- Google'd "restaurants near me" today in a mobile browser. The results were what Google wanted me to see, not what I sought. I tried searching the map Google provided; it didn't show a single restaurant (though I was standing in front of one). Maps updates in the desktop browser but not on mobile.

- A sign of American complacency is that they keep referring to Brian Thompson as a healthcare executive. He was an insurance executive; a corporate exec in a capitalist society. Sick insurance is not health care. Denying health promoting and disease prevention care is the antithesis of healthcare.
- Reposted by EstelleCorrect. Truman tried to create a national healthcare system around the same time that European nations were making theirs. It was killed by Dixiecrats because it would have required integrated hospital facilities.
