The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."
Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland?

one of the reasons everybody hates late arrivals from the right or even the center is they're all weepy little idiots who want to be coddled and forgiven and make it everybody else's problem. shut up, figure out how to help fix what you broke, and stop writing thinkpieces

You know, I think the way my brain set up is fine. The people who can not feel accomplished through empathy, mutual support, and self awareness, who only find it through capital gain, ego, and power through absolute authority have something fundamentally broken inside them.
I think one of the most frustrating things for many neurodivergent people is that we cannot understand why people don’t give a fuck about things that could make the world a better and kinder place - that’s what happens when your emotional circuitry doesn’t work “effectively”

This is amazing and wonderful, North American grasslands are the most endangered biome we have because they have largely been plowed under for monocrop agriculture since the mid-19th century.
Conservation nonprofit American Prairie in Montana has acquired holdings now spanning more than 2,428 km², the nonprofit aims to stitch together 12,950 km² of shortgrass prairie, home to bison, badgers, prairie dogs, ferrets, pronghorn, sage grouse and swift fox. buff.ly/PJYfnwi

So as it stands now, Flu-A has rendered me unable to taste sweet. Lauren gave me a slice of kiwi and I told her “I can tell it’s a kiwi, but it’s like the kiwi went to business school and now works a 9-5 in middle management. There’s no joy in this kiwi.”

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.
