It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.
In 90 years of social security, we have never had a check bounce or be late, but they want you to believe the system is broken.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Americans have bystander syndrome. Most just stand around waiting for someone else to do something. No is coming to save us.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

If your aesthetic is driven by homophobia, you'll always be chasing the latest code, unaware of how those styles landed in your wardrobe. Instead, I encourage you take inspiration from all of culture, including menswear and womenswear, and create an aesthetic that expresses you.

What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. CARL SAGAN

Reading is political.
Reading has always been political.
Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.
