TV night w/ gf we started going through The Wire -- which has so much messy content, but from a 2025 perspective revisiting grimdark Adult 2002 it is FASCINATING.
And, like, they had some really talented people working on that obviously. Tiny Michael B Jordan is maybe my favorite actor.

The Left Hand of Darkness is an unfortunately (politically) resonant novel to be reading in the now.
I've been on a long project to read genre classics/female authors. . I ended up going through The Dispossessed first, which was maybe more interesting but the prose in this one is so impressive

With the impending removal of the de minimis exemption, I created a starter pack and list for Canadian creators who sell online. If you're a buyer looking for fellow Canadians to shop from, check it out. If you'd like to be added, let me know!

How to get yourself doing something that you want to /be Done/ when there's something else you want to /Do/ (that doesn't need to be done) -- the ongoing mental toil.
. . And things that don't even seem bad to do, except it's so hot outside you physically can't. .

So I found out more about this. Basically saying the thing out loud can produce the happy chemicals in your brain if you were to actually do it. So when you go to do the task, your brain is like but we already got the happy chemicals so what’s the point? Evil
One of the worst things I’ve found out about my ADHD is that if I tell someone out loud what trick or tip has been working for me to live better it will no longer work AND IT DRIVES ME INSANE

We even have a real-life experiment that proves paying farm workers a fair wage can be done. And prices went up so little, PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE.
In 2005, tomato pickers in FL struck a deal with Yum! Brands (Taco Bell, KFC, & others) to guarantee higher wages.

Seeing a lot of racist pinkwashing bullshit about Muslims and homosexuality and it’s a good time to share how I was on the gay marriage beat for a decade and racist gays never believed me when I shared how US Muslims favored equal LGBT rights (52%) over Christian evangelicals (34%)!

My dream last night had these really dramatic visuals of a defunct & falling-apart highway (some w/ a roof) that was built over a city (w/ much less support than a realistic road would have)--chunks of it falling off and the sun backlighting the big ol concrete serpent. Weird and interesting.
