You work here long enough you move past the fear that comes from understanding the frailty of human life and replace it with taking joy in the small things that make life worth living.

I think our entire Bandcamp catalog is pay what you want but if you reach out to me I’ll definitely send you songs
Once again reminding folks that the ethical replacement to using Spotify isn’t another streaming platform; it’s buying music from artists when you’re in the financial position to do so and pirating them when you’re unable to do so. Or simply ask an artist for the files, like actually.

NEW: The FDA may yank Pfizer's under-5 Covid vaccine this fall. Pfizer has the only pediatric vaccines for all kids over six months, not just those with health conditions. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Pfizer Covid vaccine for young children may not be renewed by FDA
Email obtained by Guardian says Pfizer was told approval may not be granted, meaning Moderna may have to fill gap

So this phrase “able-bodied” has clearly been on the most recent list of R talking points. It comes from the first round of English labor laws, which were instituted after the Black Death.

Medieval story time (that is actually about Alligator Alcatraz merch):
Let’s talk about Godwin Sturt and how he merchandized the death of his 12-year-old nephew in 1144.

If i may put my therapist hat on for a moment:
Modern talk therapy’s theoretical underpinnings essentially contradict conservative beliefs and values.
Also therapy as a concept is incompatible with fascism.

The idea that conservative ideology should be equally represented in everything is ironically a very liberal idea

Honestly, "b'tzelem Elohim" only makes sense to me if G-d is imperfect.
If G-d is perfect, then we're G-d's image in a funhouse mirror.
If G-d is a powerful yet flawed being who tries (and sometimes fials) to do the right thing, then we're G-d's image in a hand mirror, and that feels right to me.
