Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

It is getting very difficult to support students. We’ll keep trying, as always.
This proposed increase doesn't keep up with inflation or enrollment numbers.

We shouldn't be budgeting on the backs of Iowa's students, Iowa's educators and the Iowans who will face higher property taxes as a result of insufficient funding.

I love it when white folks say America wasn't racially divided until Obama made the comment about Trayvon. White denial is a powerful drug, which is why even in 1963 when we were asked if Blacks were treated equally nearly 2/3 said yes. Delusion is a white pastime. It's our heritage.

the Deshaun Watson and Luka trades are both (for very different reasons) some of the only times a sports team has done something so horrifyingly wrong and stupid that fans of other teams are like “yeah if you decided to root for someone else or just stop watching i would understand”

"We're going to dynamite the US economy because Canada should have given NATO a few more dollars" is so simple-minded.

And, BTW, JD Vance famously wrote about his mother's problems with drugs. She didn't get them from Canada. She stole them from her American patients at the hospital she worked at.

This is exactly it, right here. We’ve been conditioned to believe we are infallible.
The most dangerous myth US Americans have subconsciously accepted is American ✨Exceptionalism.✨ While we celebrate our successes, Exceptionalism also means we’ve convinced ourselves that we’re incapable of making the same mistakes other people/state make. It’s not the same when WE do it.

Me:"oh no why am I feeling so tired and uninspired lately I haven't been able to draw anything decent..."

Also me: *hasn't exercised at all lately, lots of personal/world stuff, didn't take proper time for myself to just exist and also spent my time doomscrolling*
