Don't think single people get enough credit for doing life alone. Rent/mortgage is double, household responsibility and life admin is down to one person, you're your own emotional support, holidays are more expensive, you've to trap and transport human sacrifices for the solstice bonfire solo, etc.

Every time up to this very day that I expressed a desire to see Democrats do what needed doing in order to prevent what is happening now, someone always told me these steps would make us just as bad as the fascists we were stopping, and I would just like to tell those people today go fuck yourself.

signs you’re being time grifted - outrage take + screenshot to news story + no link - outrage take + photograph that appears to conveniently capture some sort of “can you believe this?!” point + no attribution - outrage take + “why is no one talking about this” + link to news story

The other thing annoying me about this is the reminder that I threw away all the Ichiro/Orix Blue Wave stuff I brought home from Japan in ‘96 because clearly I’m just as big of a doofus as whoever that HOF voter is.

The more I think about the growing discussion of the "male loneliness epidemic" the more I realise that it is simply an aggressive gendering of the acceleration of social atomisation, alienation.

If there's one thing I hate on social media it is the I-told-you-so game. But I can't help but note to all those who are celebrating these revelations about the super-empowered rich or oligarchs that people have been writing about them and warning about their influence for literally centuries.

everything is pretty bad and it's going to get worse and I think we need to remember to give ourselves license to post about silly things too losing our minds to despair isn't going to do any of us any good

Most people [most of us] do not have a coherent political ideology, are easily demagogued [see 'crime', 'immigration' etc...], & are working 50 hours a week to survive. These really have nothing to do with intelligence or being smart.

I think I am gonna have to mute the term "unprecendented times." the only unprecendented part of our current moment is the climate crisis. everything else is very very precedented!! every time I see someone say "unprecedented times," I want to run into a brick wall as fast as I can.

Honor is more than doing the right thing. It is knowing what the right thing to do is, and knowing that some dilemmas are difficult and may have no satisfactory answer. Compassion, equality, and justice are guideposts toward honor. Let them lead you, even imperfectly, toward it.
