rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.

When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL

I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.

The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

there is enough money, space, and resources in this world for everyone alive to be moderately wealthy, full stop.
its a prominent strain of thought. people who think equality means dragging everyone down to the same level instead of raising everyone up to excellence. this is one reason people think communism means everyone is poor.

All of jake's solitaire titles are EXTREMELY my shit. I'll be playing day one and you should check out the demo and see if it's for you!
In fact, it's nearly 10,000! Wow, thanks everyone for trying it out and sharing our demo announcement (in next post). Really appreciated.

It's gone well. Very positive reception and now we've "just" gotta finish the thing :-)

I also received an incredible professional compliment from a designer on this who used some of my work. I linked him the documentation and offered to talk through it and a week later he says “it was so easy to understand and exactly what I wanted!” He did find a typo in a formula though 👌
