There are some people that claim heathenry who are racists and I want to make clear I'm into liberation for all oppressed people.
I am 100% *not* into the flavor of heathenry that involves hating people for their melanin content or nationality or whatever.

I am generally a person who believes in science and trusts experts but my most anti-science belief is that if it’s 83 degrees but “feels like” 92 degrees than it is in fact 92 degrees

Seeing the March of the Pigs video for the first time as a youth changed me irrevocably (in a good way, I'd like to think).

I wrote about John “Ozzy” Osbourne—a working class lad made good, who rose from a slaughterhouse killing floor to the highest echelons of rock stardom in spite of himself, who gave us heavy metal and left a more complex legacy than many realize—for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/cult...
Ozzy Osbourne, Rock God Despite Himself (1948–2025)
The Prince of Darkness, who gave us heavy metal as we know it, has been laid to rest.

I THINK they’re mad because of the hardscaping? Not entirely sure.
(One guy tried to claim it didn’t store CO2. Do you want a lecture on prairie carbon sequestration? Because this is how you get a lecture on prairie carbon sequestration.)

I had a friend tell me chat gpt was their best friend and it made me feel a deep sorrow I can't quite express articulately.
I’ve never had someone in real life tell me how amazing ChatGPT has been for them with a concrete example but I’m hearing more and more stories of people’s lives being significantly disrupted by it in a bad way (ex from this morning: a friend of a friend’s dad is “dating” ChatGPT)

'bout time y'all got on board
Y'all, we need to talk about 'y'all'
The word fills an important gap in our language, but it was once stigmatized. The story of "y'all" also includes powerful cultural forces, from hip-hop to ideas of welcoming inclusivity.

BTW, I asked for the list of 100 books, but they are working on it, so please don't flood their email address with requests. However, they seem to be happy to recommend books if you give them a topic. Their site is full of cool stuff, including signed copies by Joan Didion.
