We are now the same distance away from Back to the Future as Back to the Future was to the end of World War II and I hope everyone has a great day

being a woman at a rock concert = men crowding your space and continually getting closer to you when you haven't moved at all. This is why women like to attend concerts with an all female audience and why we gravitate towards artists that attract no men to their concerts.

Patients seeking mental health care are more likely to be on Medicaid than patients in more profitable areas of care, such as cancer or cardiac treatment.
Medicaid payments barely keep hospital mental health units afloat. Federal cuts could sink them

i think so much of modern libertarianism is just “i should be able to do whatever i want so long as i don’t harm anyone else” coupled with an inability or unwillingness to recognize the harm they cause to anyone else

Trump turns White House lawn into car lot for megadonor Musk
It’s easy to get inured to the corruption, but hawking Teslas on the South Lawn was among the most obscene events in White House history.

Donald Trump, hard at work honoring America's veterans by cracking down on waste, like for example the **sterilization of medical instruments** at the VA:

My married friends,
who are trying
to buy a house,
keep sending me photos
of mid-century moderns
of ranches and craftsmen,
and though I want to ask them
how they can think
about buying a house
while everything is collapsing,
instead I just say:
the one with the fireplace is nice.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

It all feels like a family with a genuinely abusive family member choosing to just carry on with the holiday traditions, hoping to create normalcy through sheer will and denial.

The take I am most certain of that gets me in the most trouble is just "The reason homes are so expensive is because there are not enough of them, so we really really really need to build more of them."

Part of the con job of Trump and his band of weirdos is this Big Bad Wolf /Bond villain shtick that I have no patience for indulging. They are very bad and are absolutely going to try to do awful and cruel things. But they are not evil geniuses and a lot of them are genuinely idiots.

I'm so trying hard to channel my sadness and rage into productivity, organizing and connection but every morning still starts with a slow motion, internal fight to even try to move what feels like a leaden body and hollow heart that desires nothing more than to sink, disappearing, into the earth.
