Interviewer: "I meant questions about the job"

This chart, titled "COVID-19 vaccination saved millions of lives worldwide," illustrates the estimated global number of deaths averted between December 2021 and December 2022 due to COVID-19 vaccination. The chart compares the actual number of excess deaths with the estimated number of lives saved by vaccinations, both directly (in dark blue, representing 15.5 million deaths averted) and indirectly (in light blue, representing 4.3 million deaths averted from lower infection rates). The pink area shows the actual number of excess deaths, totaling 11.6 million.

The global COVID-19 vaccination effort is estimated to have saved around 20 million lives — in just its first year.

Cartoon about regional travel demand and the unreasonable expectations of suburban drivers

REMINDER: Those choosing to live in subsidized suburbs for a bigger house and yard are NOT also entitled to free-flow car traffic capacity (aka an “easy car commute”) into the city at the expense of the taxes, health, safety (hint: bike-lanes) & quality of life of city-dwellers.

Today my eight year old was cheering and jumping up and down upstairs, so I went to see what he was watching on youtube and it was a video showing the GDP of countries growing over time. I asked him why he found it so exciting — he put two fingers on my chest and said “that’s none of your business.”

The horrors persist, but so do we.

All things considered, I'd much rather experience the hatred from living as my true self, boldly and proudly, than continue feeling the crushing weight of nothingness I had from erasing myself and hiding for most of my life.

When anyone tells me that the middle east conflict is unsolvable, I get cheered up by travel videos showing the warm hospitality given to a Pakistani visiting India, and vice versa when an Indian visited Pakistan.
We all have much more in common than you think.
A better future is always possible.

I'm of the opinion that virtues actually SHOULD be signaled. The problem comes when that's the only thing you do with them.
