[screaming at the top of my lungs, once again] the fundamental technology of humanity is care
We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I sometimes think about how many cigarette equivalents I smoked as a young kid while in movie theatres watching the epic movies of my childhood.
It was “normal.”
How many things do we consider normal today that we’ll one day (hopefully soon) recognize as completely insane?

Both recognize a problem and the harms it causes, but are designed without the will or imagination required to implement a real solution.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Finding a tech job in Edmonton is impossible.
I've applied to over 200 positions over this year that I was very well qualified for and have either received a "no thank you" or no response.
I'm really at my wits end. I don't get it.

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.

In order for America to actually heal its divisions, we need to reckon with its two original sins: the genocide of Native Americans by the initial government structures during and after the Revolution, and the deliberate sabotage of Reconstruction by the racist remnants of the South.

We often think, “I’m just one person—what difference could I make?”
This story shows that, when we use our voice, the answer is: a lot.
So if one person can catalyze so much harm, imagine the good each of us can choose to support and advocate for.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
