Reminder:
When a herd of reindeer is threatened, the herd runs fast in a "cyclone" to confuse predators, keeping the most vulnerable in the center. The whole herd survives.
Trying to save "most" of the herd lets predators pick off the herd, most vulnerable first, until there's no herd left.

There are wolves inside of you, wild and free.
There's also a grizzled raccoon who's seen too much, a wine drunk lynx with late night ennui, and a sleepy little squirrel who often feels the weight of the world.

No judgements, but you don’t want to be a sugar baby or a trad wife. You want universal basic income and affordable housing.

After eating yet another cauliflower for dinner, let me tell you this from hell:
I do not regret a single treat I ever had. A single cookie. A single extra piece of bread. I do not regret any time I slathered anything in whipped cream or olive oil or butter. Not one shred of guilt.

The float/sink test for narcoterrorists is identical to the test for witches.
Yeah. Drowning and not fighting to survive proves you are a non-combatant. Struggling to save your life shows you might be a threat at some point in the future. Possibly. Either way you die!

PSA: Check your local AQI
We tend to only think about outdoor air quality in fire season, but it's good to check it year-round.
I've had a baffling and terrible headache all day, only to discover by chance that the AQI is almost 150
That's bad for anyone, but especially for sensitive people like me

I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.
