In Preservation culture, asking payment for anything considered necessary for living (food, power sources, education, the feed, etc.) was considered outrageous, but asking payment for life-saving help was right up there with cannibalism.

I had pizza and the gal ahead of me in line thanked the cashier as she was saying thank you and het companion said it’s funny that it’s never You’re welcome and she says “we’re thanking each other because we’re equals respecting service, you’re welcome is for people who expect to be served” WHEW

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Kind of devastating how the things that got us all through the lockdown years - video games, podcasts, art - were made by creators who are now across the board being torn apart and tossed aside with no warning for the sake of a mythical profit margin. And by "kind of" I mean supremely.

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

I had a dream that every building in the world was an etrian odyssey style dungeon, and I had to call out of work because I couldn't beat the boss in the lobby of my apartment building.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I feel like I was so focused and organized about playing games last year; one at a time, one after the other. This year, I'm so stressed that I'm playing five games at once and actively contemplating a sixth. Would love to get my brain to focus on one little escape treat at a time.

Dear friends, Medicaid isn't dead. Budget resolutions aren't binding. Tell people to call and protest their (particularly Republican) reps if Medicaid helps them rather than making them feel the fight is done. Don't encourage despair or give in early.

The end is in sight. After a driver in a huge-ass pickup hit my car literally a month ago, the body shop is finally doing paint today. I cannot wait to hear how much money driving one of these things for the aesthetic is costing her, and more importantly, to have my own car back.

I wish that people in mainstream culture had listened to us nerds when GamerGate was happening and when the Sad/Rabid Puppy situation was going on with the Hugos. They were movements, writ small, of what is now eating my country.

Senator Warner, the problem is not the idea of a report. The problem is Elon Musk is not their boss. He’s not anyone official in the government. The administration denies he’s even running DOGE. Get serious

I saw the unpopularity polls and I was surprised but didn't doubt them. But it really drove it home to hear loud conservatives in my life recently walking stuff back. I try not to hope that they are going to have a grand epiphany one day and realize they fucked up, but I will certainly accept it.

I choose to try to treat every human being with empathy, kindness, compassion and respect. Call me woke. call me naive. call me whatever you want. i feel better about life and myself when i conduct myself in a place coming from love and connection.

Author Mary Kay Andrews turned down an honor from a Georgia state rep because she looked up his voting record, then told him why, then made a video about it. If you need a dose of inspiration, I embedded and summarized it:

Been replaying Pokemon X to reexamine my old ship, but what I cannot stop noticing is how none of these gyms would be accessible to disabled trainers. "Climb this rock wall!" "Swing on these vines!" "Grind this rail on your rollerblades!" What does any of this have to do with raising monsters.

This is why "how many genders are there, huh?" is such a dumb question. It's like asking exactly how many colors exist. Even blue is a fuzzy category, why would you expect human beings to be simpler than photons?

Many say otherwise, but whenever I get a human being on the phone when I call my government reps, I ask if email has less impact than a phone call. They ALWAYS say it has the same impact and gets logged the same. Just a data point. Contact your reps, don't let perfect be the enemy of democracy.
