You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

habitat for humanity is GREAT and if you're an able-bodied person without much disposable income to donate i HIGHLY recommend donating your time to habitat! you'll learn some awesome, useful skills and have a lot of fun, and at the end you'll have built a whole house! can't recommend enough 😊

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

I started reading comics in the early 90s largely because of Gambit, and i dropped my x-men books after uncanny x-men 350, also because of Gambit. so mission accomplished i guess (i never really got back in to the x-books, although I did keep reading comics. just not marvel comics) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

David J Prokopetz @prokopetz.bsky.social · 5d

Marvel deciding to push Gambit as a headliner in the 90s, only to backtrack and start shitting all over him once they realised the audience the character had attracted was mostly women was sadly predictable, but the question I have is this: exactly what audience did they THINK they were cultivating?

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.
