Bake things. Nice and kind aren’t the same thing.
Don’t be like Gwen.

Anyone whose job it is to communicate should be all about the alt text. Stores? Mayor? Substack blog? Only fans? Bird watcher? Alt text! If you think people want to know and see, let *all* the people know and see!
Alt test!

Not a strange avenue at all. COVID did a number on people’s vascular systems. Running a statistical study about known complications to a disease and how that disease’s vaccine affects those symptoms is pretty straightforward.
Or are you “just asking questions” to drive vaccine hesitancy?

My senators are pieces of shit. Their record this year made sure I’d never vote for them again and they did it to earn an estimated zero republican votes.

There was this kick ass submarine one time. And a helicopter recently.
Let them fly. Let them swim. Let them attend shareholder conferences in Manhattan near Mario characters.
Musk and Bezos couldn’t successfully colonize a fully furnished living room without gov’t subsidies. Mars is safe.

None of my business and you didn’t ask but consider reaching out to the college’s IT department to talk about the kinds of things they can do with respect to resources. Some of the novel things Dartmouth’s IT have done inspired similar projects at MIT, etc.

You aren’t meant to do it all, all the time any more than a juggler holds all the balls all the time. Outsource whatever drudgery you can afford and write it in the budget as “self care”. Figure out what shit can slide.

I recently got my parents’ original marriage certificate in a pile of stuff. It’s barely a form. There are no seals or official markings of note, just tidy old lady cursive proving my brother missed bastardy by about 5 months.
Proving stuff was way easier in the before times.

If you look very carefully, their idea of hot is drag queen. It’s Tammy Faye Bakker, everyone from Dynasty, and Leona Helmsley. Whatever the specifics, it’s definitely from a year with a 1 at the front and it’s probably a caricature of a woman.

I’m reminded of the Gego exhibition I saw a couple of years ago.

Isn’t it fun how a major tenet of Christianity is forgiveness and redemption but that the very Christian leadership in red states will do everything they can to deny certain folks that opportunity while delivering it wholesale to folks who didn’t even ask for it?

“Still punk as fuck”, I muttered as I foamed my oat milk for coffee.

I once told someone they couldn’t have what they wanted because “In this country, we follow the laws of physics.” He asked who to talk to about a variance.
I guess you could take it up with God or whoever but there’s an amount of time it takes for light to get somewhere so good luck with that.

Disposable Heroes of Hiphop did a version for Pete Wilson that I enjoy.

Taskmaster (tv show) had a challenge for the new years special: “do something you regret”. Martin Lewis removed his fitness tracker and took a bunch of steps. My partner and I gasped. Untracked steps! No! It was the same energy as being 22 and seeing there’s only 4 beers but the stores are closed.

My dad was trumpian. He never learned tact or empathy but expected both to be applied to him. I mostly left when he got shitty but sometimes I trolled him with over-the-top agreement that highlighted how awful he was. “Yeah! Socialized medicine is for chumps! Thats why you reject medicare, right?”

The people with unchecked daddy issues think if you don’t listen to federal daddy you deserve a spanking. If they’d taken more humanities classes, they’d probably notice how loudly they advertise their shortcomings and fears.

All your academic friends know XKCD. It’s not zines or pamphlets (as specifically suggested) but he makes academic content accessible and consumable yet still accurate. “Thing Explainer” should be given to every curious human.

There’s always a point when shopping where I wonder exactly how expensive a custom wardrobe would be and whether the lottery is my path to that end.
Side note: why the fuck are the only things in my size brown?
