Lower-income people are less likely to vote than higher-income people, across racial groups - and that gap has been growing.

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

I've said on here multiple times (and even on Mastodon!) that I don't believe that VC is inherently evil. The key word in "nazi bank" is "nazi," not "bank."
NSF is basically a VC.
We've never seen a VC industry that wasn't primarily driven by Ayn Rand reading alt-right bros.
No one came for me. 🤷🏿♂️

I don't think that VC is necessarily bad. I think most of the problem is who gets to be a VC, and what they prioritize.

And last night’s EO, which of course doesn’t carry the weight of law, is nonetheless an indicator that they intend to strip naturalized US citizens of their citizenship for any reason they choose, and send people they deem undesirable to camps and/or to their deaths here or abroad.

Gratitude should never be based on entitlement and should always include the recognition that we are not so different, and certainly no better, from those who weren't given what we have. We certainly don't deserve our gifts more than they do.
Gratitude is an obligation to others, not a recital.

Just a gentle reminder that everything we're thankful for is due to the grace and help of others and, for many of us, a heaping dose of unearned privilege. None of us has ever truly done anything on our own.
Who we are is often the result of the emotional labor of teachers, parents, and mentors.

Friends,
If I have never communicated with you before about anything ever,
And your first communication with me about anything ever is extremely troll-like,
My first thought is going to be "that's a troll," not "that person is on my side but is cleverly perfectly satirizing a troll"

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
