Oh wow hi new followers, welcome along on this long, strange trip we call life.
I'm Revontulet, I'm an Aquarius, I immigrated to Canada nearly 15 years ago from the US, I like photography, cooking, house/bass music, stories about your cats, & playing Diablo 4. I'm learning to DJ & make bad mashups.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.
Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.
Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.
This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.

it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries
