Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

happy Sunday, pals! in the liturgy of my childhood, we celebrated this day by lighting a candle for hope--a reminder in tenuous flame that we're not passive dreamers. we wait on a better world by preparing for it, by doing whatever good we can now.
I might offer some handmade ornaments to folks who donate to the National Immigrant Justice Center--if that sounds good to you, stay tuned! :)
make a donation of any amount supporting the National Immigrant Justice Center, then email your shipping details to kaitlinruizplease (at) gmail. and that's it! now you too can take the Mind of Berg wherever you go.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.
