This whole Epstein File episode has really brought home how much we’ve lost our empathy on a massive scale. There is actual evidence both documented and verified by survivors of horrific crimes. Committed by people at the highest levels. Yet not one of them has been punished.

Ending billionaireism isn't just socially and economically necessary to maintain human civilization, it's a humanitarian measure for the billionaires themselves. They're clearly very sick and we can help them

A quiet self-care day. After several hard and long work weeks in a row I let it all get to me yesterday in a big stress-out. That means today is forced rest so my immune system chills out & stops inflaming everything. Also doing some prep for the sky ahead to make life easier. This will be lunches.

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.
Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.
We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Me with the deep disappointment at my colleagues for trashing the lunch room and saying putting things in the dishwasher is "the cleaner's job". No, dipshit, it's our job. There's even a sign.

may have just scolded the lady next to me on this flight for leaving her trash in the seat right before we deplaned. “i don’t think you should leave your trash.” “who cares what you think” [observes she has a copy of the new york times in her hands]

food systems are the leading cause of deforestation and biodiversity loss on land, freshwater use, and overfishing, and the number two cause of climate change after energy use
what’s the most obvious on-the-ground truth that your profession knows, but people don’t live like it’s true?
what other jfc-inducing truths are sitting in plain sight for people who know how to see what’s happening?

The problem of big party politics… and this is true across the aisle … is that they imagine a change of leadership will correct their public standing.
Not a change of policy. Not a realignment toward public need and sentiment, but a change in figurehead. Says it all really.

If saying to someone "hey, i wish you'd asked for my consent before sharing that / adding me" gets you accused of causing drama, know that you are not the problem, and be grateful that the person has shown you who they are. The loss / critique may sting, but we all deserve that level of respect.

Snitch-tagging is never ok. Even well-intentioned, your self-satisfaction is not worth someone elses safety. Be mindful of what may be at stake for the poster, and who their intended audience is.
