- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

What if everyone canceled their $60 Paramount+ subscriptions and donated it to NPR or PBS?
What if people just stopped watching CBS news and just went to Pro Publica or Associated Press?

the two things I believe most strongly in this world are that public services should be wholly replaced by the private sector and that the government should intervene instantly the second I personally feel a little bit scared

I turned this engagement ring box from walnut, red oak, and silver maple.
Woods native to mine and my partner’s respective parts of the country.
Hyped how it turned out.

Remember the eclipse back in April?
Since eclipses are rare I practiced camera settings and timing... then changed travel plans, watched the weather like a hawk, and ended up driving quite a bit. It all worked out. I'm proudest of this image and would love to do projects like this more often.

PSA: Did you know you can support your favorite writer without buying their book? Get it from the library! We still get paid - and often the library will get the book if you request it, which you can usually do on their website. Spread the word!

i would build a left wing propaganda apparatus as well as an ALEC for left wing interests. i would also start a left wing Federalist Society
what offbeat but actually useful cause would you hurl your money at if you were an eccentric billionaire
And I would also rewild the Great Plains. That’s at least a crackpot idea commensurate with the scale of the billionaire problem.
