First opinion piece on @californiapost -- excited about this new byline in my freelancing journey. And no, we didn't get the Condo. Feeling glad about that! nypost.com/2026/09/27/opinio… #Housing #CAhousing

I'm lucky to have my docsbot.ai entrepreneurial brother doing cool things for me. Check out my new author site: ElisaJohnston.com
My sister needed a new website. Had already bought WordPress hosting and a domain. Couldn’t figure out how to build a site. 50 plugins preinstalled, upgrade notices everywhere, overwhelming. I’ve been in WP for over 15yrs I no longer can build a site with it. In 10mins set her up with free Cloudflare pages and a few prompts in Codex (included free in her ChatGPT Plus sub) and it built and deployed a beautiful fast secure static site for her. Now she can just tell ChatGPT if she needs any updates and it just does it. Why WP?

This article by @yougochante has apparently been open on my computer for almost a WHOLE YEAR (among others to read). I guess it is right on time to remind me to honor Black History Month in 2026. It was worth the wait! christianitytoday.com/2025/0… @CTmagazine

It’s #transdayofvisibility🏳️‍⚧️ and this is your reminder that there are absolutely no “biblical” grounds for being anti-trans.

At least a dozen times in the Bible, Jesus is described as being “moved by compassion” to help someone in need. I just can't imagine a scenario where we get to heaven and Jesus says... "You were way too empathetic and compassionate. Don’t you know empathy is toxic?”
