I find it really really hard to keep up with more than one social media site... I have a full time job, a family, and, you know, a life, so I don't post here much... but I'm going to try to share a bit more.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Reddit: "The people who are studying the impact of COVID literally talk about it in the past tense, as if we are building monuments to some past event. Like “wow we should learn from COVID to listen to disabled people” you mean the disabled people trying to tell you covid is still ongoing??!"

So chicken farms have started spending millions of dollars putting in state of the art air filtration and circulation systems - because culling whole flocks to mitigate avian flu is expensive - but we have done zero to improve air quality in schools - because kids are expendable I guess.

I was outlining a new short story and the words were flowing, character-specific quotes were plopping on the page, my typing fingers were tingling with delight!
