We have these little bird shapes in the windows to keep birds safe, and at night the moon lights them up. They make me feel like a kid again each time I see them.

i am 100% of the belief that simply forcing take-writers to answer the question "who specifically said this and why are they significant" would result in substantially fewer bad takes circulating in the world

Fascinating profile of a park ranger in San Francisco who works with unhoused residents and has adopted the novel tactic of treating them like human beings, building relationships, and helping them access resources on their own timeline.

I've assembled a team of the most horrible perverts and criminals you've ever seen and we're going to fix this country

Don't tell me that the billionaires running the country don't have my interests at heart. You don't know my interests. What if my interests are to eat shit and die

we never should’ve given power to the nerds. the jocks shouldn’t have it either. we must usher in the age of the goths
