I had legit completely forgotten this.
Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid
Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

I’m very much embracing the contemplative, inward energy of winter this year. Granted, coastal CA winter is easy mode. But I’m loving being home, laying under heated blankets, and doing not a whole lot on my days off. Peace and quiet is a huge luxury and I’m lucky to have it.

The venn digram of people who will go out of their way to find a wipe and clean the handle of their shopping cart and those who will wear a mask while shopping is 2 circles.
It’s not just that speed cameras are fairer, it’s that every police stop carries some risk of a catastrophic outcome.
Sandra Bland, Philando Castile and Walter Scott would probably be alive today if not for needless police stops.
