Ultimately, what I think we need is patience: The patience to explain from first principles, to meet people where they are at, to untangle webs of lies, to refuse the hoarding of wisdom. And this is much harder than shame because you must fundamentally reject that erring is a personal flaw

am I wrong or is a 50 year mortgage just rent control but dumber

Chappin eeze on TikTok is saying Hannah krieg is racist, anyone know what he's talking about?

Idk I think this is a real YMMV thing because I know grown ass adults who are still taking thise

These thoughts brought to you by the grey hairs I found today

This is the tagline for the vegan orgy

Maybe my refusal to try in my prime was a self-protective move because I knew I couldn't play the game

As I remember who I was through those years though--gosh I couldn't have handled actually looking good. Looking the way I did, being as low effort and anti-feminine as I was, I still barely survived the make violence and female relational aggression I went through.

...I have more money and knowledge and willingness to try, and now that most of my years of thick blonde hair are behind me, I feel some regret about not beauty-maxxing earlier

I was pretty allergic to looking beautiful or feminine when I was younger--partly for feminism reasons, partly for gender reasons, partly just because it seemed like an impossible mountain of tasks and expenses. Now that I'm on the back half of my 30s...

FACT: if someone on transit puts their bag on the seat, it's because they want you to sit on their bag

My ballot was counted this year, but in a previous election is was rejected and I had to fix it — just took a couple of minutes. Make sure yours was counted Seattle! info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Everyone who makes money on housing understands that strict zoning and politicized permitting is good for landlords and bad for tenants.

I grew up in Phoenix and my mom would always put this on in the summer "so we can pretend it's colder"

This is the test Trump is referring to, the Montreal cognitive assessment. It is used to assess brain functioning impairment (such as after strokes or in Alzheimer’s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montrea...)

Why would they administer this test to Trump.

worth applying to politics as well. when you're criticizing an action people take "taking the better action next time" is only one of the alternatives people will consider, and worth remembering that "not bothering at all" is another.

wtf why do people think its ok to just log in and attack me

The old me is dying, the new me struggles to be born, now is the time of being a monster

Traffic in cities is a geometry problem, not a technology problem.

The old Gender is dying, the new Gender struggles to be born, now is the time of... dysphoria???

That which exists is more perfect than that which does not

had a great savory waffle in Portland this weekend!

And that didn't really work and made me so cognitively rigid that I had to do 10 months of therapy about it to act like a person again.

Perpetual self-reminder that I won't make friends I can be myself around by intensively self-censoring and self-monitoring to the point of personality erasure.

trying to make friends and it's hard not to slip into the old habits

Post 2020 I was trying to make friends by trying to say the exact perfect thing, often being unwilling to say ANYTHING that I hadn't rehearsed in my head first (yes I did resonate with "The Rehearsal")

Can't explain it but Fate of Ophelia sounds more like a Marina song than a TSwift song to me. Video too

It's wild that quarantine was in 2020, 5 years ago, and yet 2017 was two years ago :p

Etiquette question! When someone has "BIPOC to the front in online profiles (in this case, Bumble BFF) does this mean"BIPOC folks will be prioritized as connections but anyone can match" or should I read it more as "white folks need not apply"

The history of the National Parks is super problematic so it's really tempting to say like, oh you can totally have an equally good nature experience anywhere else

Unfortunately I have to report that Tuolomne Meadows in Yosemite was really heaven on earth

No opinion except definitely do your research! I was shocked to learn hermit crabs can live fir a really long time if cared for properly but are sort of assumed to be a disposable/starter pet
