The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Week 1 of administering my allergy shots at home has been:

• eventful in the sense that I’ve learned a lot of medical things very quickly
• inflammatory in the sense that my body is fighting every allergen
• lowkey hard in the sense that giving yourself injections is mentally tough

i find it so off-putting when you watch journalists interviewing politicians and you can tell they’re friendly, all in a big club that doesn’t serve the public’s interests. access journalism is the opposite of accountability journalism.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Apparently, it is negotiable!
Health care isn’t negotiable.

We need to both reopen the government and work together to protect access to affordable health care by extending the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.

Reading more about southern U.S. food ways, enslaved experiences, it’s wild how many of the plants I’m planting were plants that my ancestors sustained themselves on. Collards, cow peas, cabbage … such a journey!

Today: 7 flight delays and a cancellation — to be expected, still not enjoyable. I’m mostly just grateful that there was so much compassion being shown throughout the day.

How do you make predictions in an atmospheric environment that is no longer predictable due to man-made climate change? 😭

We’re conditioned to believe our smallest contributions wont make a difference. That our $5 wont help. That a couple cans of veggies wont help. That one coat & a pair of shoes aren’t worth donating. It all counts. This is a reminder to myself as well.
