Incredibly important and an underpinning principle of mutual aid. Childcare, clothing swaps, food and material good sourcing or delivery, repair projects, etc. are all things we can do to support each other as the state wants to deprive us. Especially centralized in neighborhoods/small communities.

If you're wondering why the quality of anything Lord of the Ring related has nosedived recently its because Christopher Tolkien died in 2020 and the rights to JRR's works passed to his nephew whos like a dentist and doesn't give a shit and just wants money for whatever

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do. Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

What we are going to have to do in the coming years is build out a whole lot of parallel institutions that can do the work previously assigned to the state, most especially civic education. Eventually I will find my way to excitement for that project but right now the prospect exhausts me

It takes an extra level of cruelty to announce layoffs both right before the holiday season and at a time you know people can’t even access SNAP or other assistance. This is so broken.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.
Trump on TruthSocial: The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future. We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.
