I handled/installed the piece he’s standing by once - it was pretty ingenious - some artworks are smarter than others - and the insides of the segments are interesting, all wood and scribbles, so rough and organic compared to the exteriors

Every single thing that began as a "feminine" and thus "less worthy" trade is now male dominated: brewing beer/ale/sake and making wine was traditionally always done by women. Now every white dude with a beard and Chacos wanna mansplain alcohol to me.
losing my mind because misogyny has been propped up by extreme epistemic injustice, to the point it's been considered a "waste" for girls to learn to read in various cultures, leave alone pursue education, but now that (some) women *can* reliably access it, it's Feminized and therefore worthless.
The idea that education is intended for girls and disadvantages boys is beyond ridiculous. Look at the history of education and how girls and women were prevented from accessing it. Girls are still penalized today for showing too many inches of skin because it’s a “distraction” to the boys

When cities clear homeless encampments, workers often take people’s belongings — including important documents, survival gear and irreplaceable mementos.
Over and over, people across the U.S. told ProPublica they were devastated by such losses: https://propub.li/3WScD3g

At every step, the liberal insitutionalists insist that the only valid means of resistance is the rotten husk of their institutions.
Anyone who tries to stop fascism using non-instutionally-approved means will be lectured, scolded, pacified, and — ultimately — violently suppressed by the state. 11/

my favorite Barbara Kruger fact (we have a mutual friend) is that she is obsessed with the Real Housewives

the teen at Staples can’t print my flyer because their computer keeps crashing. the AT&T worker can’t update my plan because his tablet keeps crashing. these are ELECTRONICS COMPANIES. how lucky we are to live in a time where decades of corporate disinvestment in labor are coming home to roost

I love going to the laundromat and smiling at children and holding doors open for people or them for me and taking a little walk around and sipping my tea while the machines run. just a happy little critter in a little society experiencing a happy little hour in time.

randomly an older Polish man found himself in my inland northwest cocktail bar tonight. Dude thought it would be funny to do some fake sieg heils while dancing like “this is what the nazis do” and, well, people reacted. It was a cultural historical maelstrom. It was a fucking mess

24/7 care of two ailing octogenarians is not light work, folks. I’m averaging 6k steps a day just in fetching heating pads back and forth, like, that’s *before* I pace back and forth in the driveway for an hour to regain my sanity after they’re asleep

got home drunk last night and ate a massive salad. being 30 is such a trip. life is shaken at its foundations. one day you’re blissfully destroying yourself atop a mountain of cigarettes and Taco Bell, and the next you’re eating vegetables and fearing death.
