I don't need to know Sarah McBride's deadname to know she's unhelpful, and neither does anyone else
A trans person's deadname is not something you weaponize, I don't give the tenth part of a single fuck who they are or what your intention is 💖

Got inspired to make tiny berets for some luxury crystal panthers. Only a few more to go. Hopefully they'll be seen in action in a rx_Hydro stream.

“Do you hear yourself right now?”
“You shouldn’t say shit like that to people”

This article shouldn't be about Mamdani, it should be about how ranked choice enabled a decent candidate to rise above scumbags with greater name recognition. May it do the same everywhere it is adopted (which should be everywhere).

It’s kinda wild how many of our issues stem not from Trump, but from Congress abdicating their duties, when you look back at it

most “woke” DEI stuff was deliberately structured to gently persuade people into better behavior and since so many people have responded to badly to gentle persuasion, i am fully in favor of a “i am no longer asking” approach
my favorite part of this is, like, if you hated the consensus driven, democratic, empathetic version of “woke” that libs in very deep blue districts were gently encouraging before, you’re going to really hate what comes next

I love air conditioning, but here are some pet peeves about housing and heat.
Why don’t (newer) houses in warm climates feature time-tested features like shutters, awnings, inner courtyards, tall ceilings, windows aligned across the house (to facilitate air flow), more materials that help with heat?

I enjoyed watching this wasp collect pollen off my apple mint the other day. I think it's in the Entypus genus but unsure of species (Piedmont NC).
I grow a lot of herbs but I arguably get more enjoyment out of them when they flower because all the bees and wasps visit.

TIL that Andreesen Horowitz, the main VC backer of Substack, hired Daniel Penny whose only notable achievement is that he killed a Blck man on a subway and then was acquitted for it.
He’s now an investor.
Sounds about white.
Substack is going to fuck you over. It’s just a matter of when and how.

No platform is ever truly free.
That applies whether we’re talking about TikTok, Google, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook - or Substack. And if you think to yourself, this time, it'll be different, good luck to you.
But sooner or later, you're going to get fucked.

Why I Won't Write on Substack
There is something perverse about every voice of record, every journalist with a profile, every writer with an audience abandoning ship for Substack. It's been a growing trend for the past few years, and it's getting worse. Substack has done an excellent job convincing intelligent people from legacy media backgrounds
