The weirdest thing happened today. I have a paper due tonight at midnight and, having worked on it for a few hours yesterday, I sat down this afternoon and just… finished it? With time to proofread? Life since starting Concerta is endlessly strange, y’all.

If you have never read Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching series (or if it has been a while), it’s a good re-read right about now. The audiobooks especially have been a great accompaniment to whatever I’m doing to keep my hands busy.

One of the best ways to counter the "run government like a business" argument is to ask people about their recent experiences with their health insurance company/internet provider/airline/anything else that requires a phone call in 2025.

"Best healthcare in the world" except I can't get my patient a nebulizer machine anywhere in this major metropolitan area on a Sunday; the pharmacies stopped carrying them for vague reasons of "Medicare." Options are Amazon same-day delivery with requisite price gouging or an ER referral.

We need to invent new curse words. Stronger ones. Obscenities that rend time and space I am simply not going to make it through this historical period with just the curse words currently available

“If Trump is denying access to outlets that refuse to lick his boots, then any media outlet that has access is compromised. Journalists who want to be worthy of the name have a moral obligation to follow the AP’s example in enraging the toddler in chief.“

I... do not understand this new construction of masculinity? it's not athletic. it's not stoic. it's not handsome. it's not accomplished. it's never been intellectual. it's just rich white loud dudes on the TV who look like they don't wash their genitals? is that it?

I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.

I’ve seen a lot of posts circulating recently about how easy it would be for the billionaire class to solve any number of the world’s problems with just a sliver of their net worth. And I had this moment of clarity just now: not only do they not WANT to solve the world’s problems…

As a reader, I admire the pain tolerance of anyone that managed to read more than one of her books.

It’s time to start wrapping our heads around the real possibility that collective action and even a general strike are required. Musk is working fast to solidify control, do as much damage as possible, and party “opposition” is not up to the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...
