Mine offered to make it easier for me to give by taking a percentage donation off every paycheque. Wow, cool. That’s… literally a voluntary pay cut?

Disabled people are part of the future.
We must and should imagine and dream of futures where disabled people don't just exist but are everywhere, as we should be.
This need to fix/cure all disability is a eugenicist dreaming, and we should want better for ourselves.

That’s because they’ve fired everyone and AI can’t interpret art.

I'd watch a muppet show movie where the muppets infiltrate an academic conference.

Fascists don’t comprehend the simple mundane courageous altruism of ordinary everyday people, because in order for them to believe the things fascism requires they believe, that kind of altruism cannot exist. If it appears, it’s only a cynical lie

Alt S2 opening storyline for Blackbeard that just occurred to me:

Upset about Stede having left him, trying to reinvent himself while having a broken heart, he gets drunk one night, grabs a knife, and gives himself bangs.

Everyone must compliment his new look because they’re terrified of him.

Incredible article which points out that it often collectively costs more to apply for scarce research funding than the funds awarded to the successful proposals.

What an absurd system we've built in the service of efficiency and competition.

Hahaha, I am willing to suspend a LOT of disbelief, but I did laugh pretty hard at that. So silly I almost think it’s a bit of an affectionate nod to genre silliness.

I’ve talked myself into making pupusas for New Year’s Eve. I haven’t done it in like 10 years, and never without the supervision of my Salvadorian best friend. Eeeee, wish me luck! Advance prep almost complete β€” beans on the stove.
