Encouraging to read on this last day of such a fucked up year
Facing a new year, I found this @dansinker.com post from February — about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails — to be a welcome read.

What I Saw at a Maternity Ward in Kenya After the U.S. Cut Off Food and Foreign Aid
Photographs tell a story of two mothers determined to help their babies gain enough weight to leave the hospital — only to face little to no food again.

Toad found a lantern in the attic. “Frog will see this light. I will show him the way out of the woods,” said Toad.

This is lovely
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I had a coworker ask for help reviewing a change in policy she edited with the help of AI (imagine using AI to change wording on a policy that is a few paragraphs long) and I absolutely refused to even open the document to read it, didn’t even respond to the email.
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

I don’t know where I was in 2013 but I definitely didn’t realize Lorde’s Pure Heroine album was badass! I was definitely judging the album by the single which I didn’t like

Kindness and empathy aren’t weaknesses, they are strengths. 300,000 years of human evolution hinge on our caring about and protecting one another. Hold onto it. Never let them make you forget it.

I watched Leave the World Behind. Whether it could really happen or not it was enough for me to think about what control was accessible to one human with the worst intentions.

I don’t even know how any of this works but yes, f**k these people
I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.
I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”
We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Maybe when it finally happens we can do like ancient Egyptians and bury all of his shitty merch with him. Throw every last shred of anything with his name in there, or like the Vikings, set it all on fire as it floats out to sea.
