you shouldn't take an iced coffee to a job interview because you shouldn't be trying to get a job. you should be digging an enormous pit or a complex system of tunnels

Covid was a mass failure of huge chunks of our society to process negative feelings and/or care for others.

Now John Buford, in particular, was known for the power of his ass. Ol' Iron Ass, his enemies called him. Even so, it was much respected.
Shelby Foote, from the interview portions of Ken Burns' 1990 documentary on the Civil War. Foote is sitting in front of a bookcase, in a blue button-down shirt, open-mouthed slightly, glancing off screen as if to gather his thoughts. He has short salt-and pepper hair parted in the middle, and a trimmed salt-and-pepper beard. Confederate apologia could not have asked for a better mouthpiece than Foote, whose smooth-bourbon accent and gentlemanly mien did more to advance the cause of obscuring slavery as the war's cause and Jim Crow as its favorite child than Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth could ever dream of. Before you read even one word of his history of the Civil War, you should be required to read McPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom twice.

This lays the nu-pro-life movement bare. - An actual living baby is not a life. - Two more babies who were created in part to save that first baby is also not a life. - Cum in a petri dish? That's life, baby! Everyone else can and should get fucked and die.

NBA great Carlos Boozer & his wife, Cece, used IVF to create 34 embryos in order to save their child, Carmani who had sickle cell.

Only 2 were selected: Duke basketball star twins Cameron & Cayden.

The rest of the children were disposed of, considered “undesireable” because they weren’t a match.

“I’m sure there’s a lot of people that think that’s wrong, but I don’t.”
- Cece Boozer

While fighting to save their son’s life, a great desire, they treated the children created through IVF, as expendable, “spare parts, raw material for others survival” - 
@J_K_Wood
 

I’m thankful for the health of Carmani, but when children are treated as a commodity, they’re not seen as human. They’re a means to an end, where we play God and decide who desires life and death. 

That’s dystopian and evil.

I don't deny that dogs can sometimes be quite lovely but what I will say is I don't trust their opinions. If a cat recommended me an album it had bought, I'd totally check it out. If a dog did the same, I'd promise to listen to the album, out of politeness, with no intention of actually doing so

The folks saying that trump didn’t bother manufacturing consent for iran might be missing the forest for the trees. Trump has offered the american people more cruelty, more death and destruction, and more imperial consolidation into his hands as a solution to whatever ails them for 10 years now.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

it's not really possible anymore to "get out democracy back" or whatever, absent painful and foundational reforms. we can't govern a nation or participate in the world when every 4 years every institution and every practice can be completely upended. swinging crazily from pole to pole is not viable

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY. I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.
