Is it possible to experience grief without loss?

The amount of gambling ads in hockey is fucking ridiculous. I don’t care what the odds are that McDavid is an any time goal scorer in the middle of the game.

Listening to On Point on @npr.org and holy hell is Ruy Teixeira annoying. He’s just talking over Meghna and not even letting her finish a thought before going off on a rambling statement without listening to what she’s saying.

He wants to divide us, when in reality we're all uniting against him.

Starting therapy today. The biggest thing on my mind: How do I - a straight, white, male - still support diversity, equity and inclusion, and not feel like a worthless, hypocritical piece of shit anytime I focus on my own problems? I have the most privilege, my issues always feel unfounded/unearned.

Fuck Evan

Why the fuck are companies like Google, Apple, meta, and others all just boring to the will of the Trump administration? Gulf of America, my ass.

I think, at this point with how society is going, I need the new Shire game more than most things in my life.

Oh god, we’re gonna get a Chiefs/Eagles Super Bowl, aren’t we?

This post's ratio is fantastic

Humans are amazing as individuals and I’m continually in awe of the accomplishments, and levels of empathy and altruistic feelings in so many people I know.

But humanity as a whole is annoying as shit, and it constantly pisses me off.

Sorry, thought you were saying that to me. Still getting used to Bluesky notifications

“Elon Musk makes a gesture most widely known as the nazi salute.”

It was a Nazi salute. Call it for what it is, you fucking cowards.

Inspiration can often be found in the unlikeliest of places.

I think an indoor track may possibly be the worst way to do distance running. Even worse than a treadmill. #somanyturns

You better not cry?

Corruption loves corruption

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools prepare for potential ICE arrests after reversal of Biden-era policy The Department of Homeland Security will now allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to conduct arrests at schools, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is preparing for these new changes.

“All children in the United States are entitled to equal access to a basic public elementary and secondary
education regardless of their actual or perceived race, color, national origin, citizenship, immigration
status, or the status of their parents/guardians.”

I know it means winter, but I much prefer to think of it as a win for 2025

I really despise the role that gambling has taken in sports.

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

The pastor at the church I teach the after school program at just came in to tell us we might see a down tick in student attendance today, because there’s “been a few raids just down the block today.”

My heart hurts for my students.

I'm at the point now where I worry about how biased the media bias chart is haha

The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites, lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority;
