The fact people think there’s some massive consciousness change between city and country is more so from media alignment now than I think actual individual beliefs in the US.

Most people are live & let live except where their particular cognitive dissonance arises. Most people are YIMBY til it’s

one thing that's frustrating about the "everything i don't like is neoliberalism" style of discourse is that it prevents us from understanding what neoliberalism *actually was,* as a real historical moment--why it arose, what it was, and why it failed

Of course I’m struck to make music while I’m at work for 3 more hours 🙄 the muses’ timing is rage inducing

Losing someone who’s made it hard to love them is always a fraught endeavor…

The fact there’s not more Pirates of the Caribbean memes in strong circulation is an indictment of our generation.

Fetterman this, Fetterman that.. lets not forget about our king Ernie Chambers who has defied Nebraska senate dress code for a near half century in his sweater t-shirts and jeans. He’s essential to NE’s democratic district, regardless of clothing 😉

Repeated string of massive leaks, and I'm replacing the entire water line.

For the last couple months now I’ve been reading a bit of Catholic mysticism and, tbh, if we led with this stuff we’d be doing a lot better.

There are like very obvious differences with Buddhism/Hinduism but I think these practices would be really attractive at this time.

Seriously it would speed by fast

Our family of four shared a cramped studio for 25 years. L.A. housing costs nearly kept us there for... We were first-generation Latina home buyers seeking to get our family out of a crowded 450-foot apartment. Here's how our housing search went.

The cruel choice we've given working families in many US cities and resort areas: either leave behind family/friends/jobs/schools and move away, endure a hellish hour-plus commute, or live in cramped, unsafe conditions.

I did this Saturday and same tbh. Only thing was Oppenheimer being so long that I didn’t know when it was safe to go to the bathroom 😂
