I did early voting today in Virginia. The political rants I have been on this week may be due to needing to know facts for the election. Political debates today are in fact very scary. Do not skip voting. #electionvote

Cut Loans
By Andrea Menzies 09/30/2026
I got a BA University degree, and found out I was pregnant less than 6 months after graduation. Part of the reason I earned less after earning a University degree was I could not find low priced daycare for a child with a disability for years. Yes schools need to warn students more about the bad job market. Yes schools also need to have better and more aggressive job placement and job search for graduates. How about lowering the massive price of education? How about offering free childcare to all University and technical school graduate women? None of this is offered. This move is about destroying the paths to empowerment and jobs for all working class women instead of helping education at all. #studentloancuts
*Note: All the professions that would be hurt most are female dominated industries. Art, cosmetology, social work, and I have talked to many teachers it is NOT just teaching aide jobs it is full teachers at risk. This is a war on women.

Refused to Review
By Andrea Menzies 09/24/26
If you buy a garbage product from Amazon they now refuse to let you do reviews. I bought a treadmill pad that did not even work for one day, and came in the mail broken. I tried to write a review calling it the garbage it was made to be. Amazon refused to post the review saying it was negative. Of course it was negative it doesn’t function! They would not give me a refund. I used no cuss words, but it is very true that I will mention online that a product was made by human sewage if it was in fact made by human sewage. The Kynecnto walking pad is a very horrible product that no user can warn others about as they pay for fake reviews. #Kynecntowalkpad

Elysium Dead
By Andrea Menzies
I can’t believe they are destroying the Elysium in Austin, TX. Valhalla was bad but Elysium sucks more in comparison. The venue was highly rated as “The Best of Austin” by newspapers. I was a regular there for years before I moved to the horrible place that is Virginia. They are making having a social life unaffordable everywhere.

Palia Obsession
By Andrea Menzies 09/01/26
This week I am obsessed with the Palia game on Steam. All of the apps named Discord and Twitch are obsessed with it so I wanted to understand the hype. Palia is a game which somehow manages to have the good parts of many other top ranking MMO games while having none of the problems. It fully mimics World of Warcraft at many sections so I will compare and contrast it with a Warcraft book for a video-game and book-review video this week.

Twitch Change
By Andrea Menzies
My Twitch ID has changed. The Twitch drops for games got better. I am now Poedaughter with nothing after it. Not Poedaughter7, or PoedaughterFH7, or Poedaughter777 those are old accounts I don’t get into anymore. Now that it has finally let me into my normal account again I will resume playing video games on there. I was hating Twitch as it locked me out of my account, but now the game rewards have brought me back.

Myspace Comeback
By A. Menzies 08/09/26
I really hope the real Myspace makes a comeback. ABC news said they were back in a story. In fact I never quit using Livejournal. Algorithm free online posting was a far better way to read people’s posts online. There is a Boondocks show episode where a musician wants to have fans over for a party, and a kid posts it to Myspace. A huge party packed with people afterwards results. People forget online posting was fun once. #myspacereturn
In theory algorithms were going to show you the top posts of your friends and family. They would weed out the spamming they claimed. Instead they doubled the spam posts, and hid the friends posts. Net trolls and hate mongers thrive in algorithms. Nothing has stepped up to fill the void of old Facebook as new FB is non-stop spam daily and Instagram is only a Facebook clone.
I remember that Myspace had issues as well. People would fight about friends in the top 8 list. Users would make a Myspace they never updated, and dead people still had profiles up. People married with 4 kids had a Myspace up that said single from high school. If Myspace makes a comeback it needs to delete inactive profiles this time around. #inactivedelete
