People who claim summer is their favorite season are lying. You won't convince me your favorite time of year is when we're all slowly cooking like rotisserie chickens in our apartments & the air is full of wildfire smoke. Literally any other time of year is better. You are a liar AND a scoundrel.

The problem with "you can't help those who can't help themselves" is that it creates a culture of abandonment and repression. That's not helpful; it's traumatic.

Don't oversimplify your projects, overcomplicate them instead!

The fact that “fascists shouldn’t feel safe” is considered a ‘radical’ position is an alarming indictment of liberalism.

People whose politics is the harm and death and genocide of non-white straight Christian men should not be welcome in our society. That should not be controversial.

I wish real world money worked like video game money. I want to spend an afternoon collecting flowers around the neighborhood and make $400.

Probably not a great thing that the right is referring to the existence of trans people as a "mind virus." (I don't know how many times I need to say this, but it's still true: the anti-trans movement is a pro-genocide movement)

Habitat loss is the likely culprit of North America’s loss of 3 billion birds since 1970. The UK has lost 40M since 1970, Europe as a whole has lost 600M since 1980. If you have a yard, please consider rewilding it with native plants to help wildlife. No more lawns!

I stripped off the bark from some surprise maple saplings that needed to be cut down so I can see what it's good for. Seems like I should at least get some decent cordage out of it.
