it’s still christmastide, so I’m an advocate of continuing to listen to christmas music. I noticed there are too few christmas songs that are huge bummers—but hey, it’s the feast of the holy innocents! so I made one.

“A great deal of injustice survives by self-ignorance. When you are poorly attuned to your own selfhood, it is easy to remain in denial about what fears, pain, and desires lead you to perpetuate suffering in the world, even your own. Reclaim practices of self-encounter.”

The Pop-Tarts Bowl features the sacrifice of a beloved figure, who is reborn anew as someone who is ceremonially consumed in celebration.
This is literally the central narrative of the crucifixion, resurrection, and communion. How could ND say no?!!

I think not having universal healthcare is a major cause of Americans being so consumed with conspiracy theories. The absence of a reliable social contract on healthcare has opened a door for wellness grifters that introduces a basic level of conspiracy brain as a base level of American existence.

Like, no U.S. flags.
