When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit.
Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention.
Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Happy update to #plumbingissues:
They’re done replacing the sewer line. I can finally shower again! I can catch up on my laundry!! Best day ever!!
The front yard is still a mess, but at least the basement looks better.
I’ve never been this excited to take a shower 😅

Quick #rant. Our sewer line is basically rusted out and needs to be replaced, so we’ve had plumbers here for over a week. It’s been a disaster.
I haven’t showered in over a week.
Our yard is a disaster.

Not only is disability tax very real - the system is designed to keep us in poverty.
Everything costs more, we have a higher number of emergency expenses, and we’re prohibited from earning extra money (and in some cases we can’t even inherit or fundraise).
It’s a terrifying & precarious situation.

“The reality is that it is expensive to be disabled. Research shows that disabled people need at least 28% more income, at least $17,690, to achieve a standard of living similar to that of non-disabled people.”

I’ve been following Fishtopher’s story since he was still in the shelter. His chubby cheeks and sad eyes… my heart hurt for him. Then he got adopted and now he has a wonderful family, both human and animal.
If you look up the definition of “glow up,” it’s just a photo of him.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
We need to get back to reading and critical thinking
