Evidence that it was the correct decision to go to the Kesha alone: she opens with the phrase "finding your people is hot; finding yourself is hotter". Thank you, Mother 🙏🏼🌈

A genocide of Palestinians is happening. A genocide of trans ppl is happening. The gov is sending militarized goons to terrorize our communities. Everyone’s stressed the fuck out. We’re all handling it badly as best we can. Our hearts weren’t made to hold this. Let’s give each other more grace.

Well Seattle, it's been real. Just a few more months and I would have lived in you longer than anywhere else. I'll miss your politics (but not your prices)

Imagine how beautiful your life could be if you never worried about looking like a stereotype
Two bears named Mish and Lucy — 5-year-old siblings — escaped their enclosure at a wildlife sanctuary in Devon, England. They devoured a week’s worth of honey in about an hour.

I actually hate the "lol the giant asteroid will deliver us from this suffering" jokes.
Are there any other people in the progressive movement who think that humans are actually fucking amazing?

I get frustrated at people unwilling to at least see that there's a trade-off here. Maybe you don't like the ugliest forms the tech sector takes, or you think there'll be bad externalities. But, for a lot of people, small things can be enormous.

Like, to be a bit silly, if you found out the set of virtues you picked lead to widespread injustice, presumably very few would continue to see those virtues as virtuous!

My hottest take is that nothing makes any sense at all outside of the context of the constantly increasing value of human life, but that increase in value is so invisible (and exists in a world that was built for previous, lower values) that we constantly think the opposite has happened.

hate to be born at the exact moment that the worst person you've ever met is three turns away from winning the worst game of Monopoly anyone's ever played
The thing about Elon is he's a harrowingly *recognisable* freak. His weirdness is not exotic. He's THE standard weird guy everyone has met, the kind who can't tell jokes, ruins parties, and lies about how good he is at things like Diablo IV. He's THAT GUY, except he became the richest man on Earth.
