also, a #narrativedisorder angle: contrast this grim picture with the decades of media showing us totally unrealistic projections of what it's like to live in the US, from the NYC apartments of FRIENDS to idk the suburbia of TO ALL THE BOYS I LOVED BEFORE to any small-biz romcom...
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

Something I keep thinking about in convos about 'when to leave' is that finances really ARE an insurmountable barrier for people, as are qualifications (e.g. 'digital nomad' visas are great, but what if you're a barista, or a pipefitter?), and, of course, disability penalties.

none. The remasters I've picked up have shown that nostalgia is a poison to being newly creative.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I feel this so deeply. As a person who likes to try crafts and talk about it people are so often like "I'd love to do that but I'm not good at it". But crafts and hobbies are about learning. There's no guaranteed way to be good right off the bat. You have to develop skills and trust yourself.
Of course I would say this, but we need to talk about the moral & ideological case for play & leisure more than ever. So much political discourse - especially from the super-rich - assumes we ought to construct society around forcing citizens to spend most of their one, unrepeatable life working.

In this case I'm going to stream this afternoon like I planned, but will be starting a half hour late.

The UCP have already shown that they are willing to proscribe political medical and educational interventions.
They will use the not withstanding clause to remove even more peoples access to body autonomy.
This is what the next step is after trans children, teachers, and nurses (just you wait)

The Alberta government putting out a statement for Trans Day of Remembrance two days after using the Notwithstanding Clause to override trans kids rights feels like parody at this point

I'm impressed with what the current Alberta NDP messaging is.
Is it:
We'll fight for your rights?
We'll make healthcare public again in Alberta?
We'll hold freeloading companies to their commitments?
lol, no
It's: We're not the UCP
That worked out so well federally and in Britain.

If you post that the removal of the right to participate in society and get the necessary medical care needed, especially my rights, is a political distraction, this is not a 'gap' that can be overcome.
You are agreeing with those removing those rights.
