It is true there is not enough beauty in the world.
It is also true that I am not competent to restore it.
Neither is there candor, and here I may be of some use.

at work, though I am silent.

I'm seeing a few reports of this, but I can't confirm this is widespread. I have been told a separate passport office is no longer processing changes, but new apps will go by your BC and renewals by your current info.
There's a lot of confusion out there on passports and no real answer yet.

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.

Reminder that there was once an AIDS denialist magazine that went out of print because, well, all the editors died of AIDS.

We already have a centrist party in this country: The Democrats.
The fact that people like Rubin can’t acknowledge that and fall for constant bad-faith attacks by the right prove how asinine this “solution” is.

When someone lies about the beliefs of his ideological opponents this egregiously, you can just ignore whatever else he has to say. Literally no one believes this.
