We need change, we need civil rights, we need leadership. Queer, father, lifelong gamer. Philosophy/Linguistics background/nerd.

Will now and forever bang the drum about the importance of raising the minimum wage.

You get what you give.

And so people here are more invested in the imagined right to a motor vehicle than they are invested in relationships with neighbors.

The wealth required to maintain a car is a black hole sapping the economic vitality of household after household.

Both phenomena would inhibit the act of community.

My hatred for cars knows no bounds.

I believe they have done exponentially more harm than good.

For example, I would propose cars have had a massive accelerating effect on the alienation of most USians. That in turn is a contributing factor to what we’re dealing with now politically and socially.

I love Star Trek because it’s the future I hope for.

I love The Expanse because it’s got the kinds of people I hope for. The ones who do the hard right things even when everything looks hopeless.

The people in ST are still great, it’s just that they aren’t tested like in The Expanse.

Fun end times vocab:
Monopoly - only one seller
Monopsony - only one buyer

Both fully bullshit.

For real.

On the Green line as I write this. 15 min. between trains during rush hour when it’s 13 degrees out and dark as hell.
