You can measure an economy's actual, real life, concrete health by: are people able to do their own weird shit?
Do they have money to survive doing their weird shit? Do they have the free time to do that weird shit?
Fuck the metrics, just look for the dirtbags and artists and musicians and writers

Fascinating paper. "In eight of the twelve cases under study, inequality was trending downward in the years before the elections that brought to power leaders who moved against democracy."
Research indicates anti-democratic backsliding was not because democracies didn't make enough progress fixing social probs, but because they didn't do enough to protect against predatory rw populist, anti-dem. party attacks

this thread is utterly devastating
Let's make this clear: My mom's test results for nearly two years indicated possible cancer, but neither she nor her doctors knew this because of a private agreement between her insurer and pathologists to occasionally lie about abnormal or ambiguous test results and falsely report them as normal.

Brought watercolours to work to doodle with. I norm doodle with a pencil in my notebook—bcs ADHD brain thinks better when hands are busy.
But I’ve been really into watercolour, so I got myself the stuff to do it on the go.

No, I mean DO YOU REALLY WANT CHANGE?
What if you could make a real difference by volunteering an hour or two a week? YOU CAN❗️
ABResistance.ca has a great board, dedicated Albertans who have families, full time jobs, & still step up!
