i think this is one of the most exhausting aspects of the rot infesting everything: not everything has to, or should, turn a profit.

the only local option to watch the seattle mariners locally is root sports. the app freezes twice an inning. live is the only option; no pausing. 15% of the time it’s full on “spinning wheel of death”. no friday games. $20 a month.

You will ask yourself—does anything matter? You will wonder if the protests mean anything, if resistance means anything. It does. They do. I know how it feels, but don’t give up. It took a decade to oust Nazis. Many, many decades to end slavery. Resistance is long and difficult. But it is the way.

it might seem unrelated, but as a yoga teacher folx are always trying to get me to knock goat yoga, etc. why? it’s harmless, probably fun, and maybe after they feel more comfortable checking out a regular yoga class, which is really good for them, but sometimes scary to try. gate keeping is weird.

There’s a degree of financial privilege one has by virtue of being non disabled. The ability to work, to not have to spend hundreds of dollars on medical supplies… it all adds up. When you’re disabled the system forces you to remain below the poverty line, which just makes a person sicker.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

i love this idea! you could also take digital payment in advance for mailed, signed copies. just sort out the flat rate postage and include it in your pricing. place an order to your house and make one kinda embarrassing trip to the post office later in the week.

war criminals and complicit actors in positions of power should be put to trial and sentenced…humanely. israel should be disarmed, the settlers forcibly removed, and forced to pay reparations by way of both taxation and labor…humanely. hating back never works. it just recreates you in their image.

they’ve done some studies on “wearing dogs out through exercise” and it turns out to be pretty ineffective. they’ve evolved to be active, so a dog adjusts to the new workload way faster than a person can increase it. it’s still really good for them, obviously, but doesn’t do much for behavior.

Disability is not a moral failing. It can’t be prevented with healthy living, prayer, or wellness culture. It’s a natural part of life. If you live long enough, you will more than likely experience disability. We should all be fighting for better social supports, inclusion and accommodation.
