VALVE CEO: Hmm let's see... does anyone here know who's addicted to Valve products and buys weird hardware at the drop of a hat?

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Saw someone post that they didn’t want to take any aurora photos because it was cliché, everyone’s doing it
The sky’s full of mystical dancing lights, from particles miles above us, excited by a burp from our local star. You’re allowed to be excited about cool shit, and this is especially cool shit

If all the aurora photos are giving you unbearable FOMO, it may please you to know that there’s a possibility for more lights tonight (Wed. 12 Nov), possibly right after sunset in North America. We’ll see how this next CME (coronal mass ejection) impact plays out!

A severe geomagnetic storm is heading toward Earth, with waves likely to hit late Tuesday into Wednesday. Depending on timing and other variables, Chicagoans could be treated to another spectacular display of the aurora borealis.

Severe Solar Storm Hurtling Toward Earth Means Chicago Could See Northern Lights This Week
The national Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a "severe" alert as solar particles speed toward Earth. The geomagnetic activity could produce auroras visible as far south as Alabama.

Found my old Girl Scout pin and had a random crying jag about how my dad has a lot of my old stuff (including my full GS sash) and I’ll probably never see it again because my stepmom will probably throw it in the trash after he dies because she’s an evil bitch

One of my least favorite things about this stage of capitalism hell is the socks
Every pair of socks I buy feels great for like 2 washes and then becomes a pilled/linty sensory Gom Jabber for my feet and I hate it
