NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

A few years ago my mom gave me a TENS unit for at home use and i have finally gotten around to attaching some pads to my achey shoulders, hitting intensity+++++++ and seeing what happens

We’ll livestream the reading too but we have the part covered. I kind of just want to get a bunch of disposable cameras and leave ‘em around but have been told “that is not enough” so now i am back here to cast a wide net

There is a world where planning a wedding while deeply unemployed, depressed, starting grad school and learning to be a student again, and forgetting how catatonic i am for the month between my father’s birthday (9/16) and death day (10/12) was not the best foundation to try and build this on

Context: on october 31, 2025, we got married in our friend’s living room. On our one year anniversary, we have decided to double down on charlie’s MFA and we are doing a play reading/party moment that is likely the closest thing to a traditional wedding i will ever have; we lack a photographer

Maybe i could afford my subscription if y’all had ever acknowledged the marketing lackey position i applied for months ago, no one wants to send rejection emails anymore so you’re left wondering if they ever even saw it at all

This actually is a good reminder to myself to go through and cancel most of my credit cards cuz like i don’t need as many as i have and frankly i don’t care about my credit score anymore so am fine with the hit it will take from losing utilization ratios and average account age lol

Also that dot on the top of my foot is nit a birthmark but is in fact a scar from when i dropped a dog cage door on my foot and the hinge connecter thing stabbed me and the mark just never went away lol

If you actually want something to fail in today’s attention economy you have to actually ignore it, any name dropping or hate traffic is still a +1 to the metrics used to justify public interest

Streaming took away the idea of syndication and algorithms push down anything that isn’t “new” but corporate is too scared of new to fail so they reanimate the corpse of a thing that was rotting before it died and want you to cheer instead of be horrified and bored

I hope whoever left those three cans of beer i just saw/picked up/put in a recycling bin on the beach steps on broken glass next time they are barefoot also maybe i should start walking with hand sanitizer if this is a thing i’m gonna start doing
