You must be in a city if there's a left side of the road, a lot of trips to visit family would involve "try to find a place to pull off to the left if you meet someone going the other way, but keep in mind you may have to back up to do so"

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control. It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

@assignedmedia.org The site seems to stutter forward one paragraph at a time, which I find distracting. I guess I could send it to Instapaper, but is there a benefit to your analytics—do you get a report of how far the average reader scrolls?

My local grocery store (Brookshire's) has this! You can put comments on each item, like "please choose a ripe tomato, I'm using it tonight", and for the whole order, like "if you don't have any good fresh basil right now, please cancel the whole order". I wish more places did that.

"Gender Ideology" is do-I-get-to-exist. "Just asking questions" - yes, the question is, do-I-get-to-exist. "Shoving it down our throats" - Existing. "Debate" - yes, over whether I get to exist. "I was shut down by the far left" - when you said people don't/shouldn't exist.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I get that it's very challenging for people to wrap their brains around this, but it's worth re-iterating: Musk and Trump decided a few months ago to kill millions globally by destroying USAID in a fit of pique, which has almost destroyed the global aid sector, and nothing is replacing that money.

One thing that doing creative work teaches you is that ideas are worth nothing. Anybody can have an idea. In a writers room you have to come up with a hundred ideas a day, and most of those don’t make the page. It’s the work of making something that gives it value. The patina of humanity.
