Puget Sound Energy is asking state regulators to approve $1.5 billion in rate increases over the next three years. The proposal would cost a typical PSE electricity customer an additional $612 a year by 2029 and a typical gas customer $276 a year.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

There is a part of me waiting for the quiz that asks me how Goguen defines information and I'll be like "who the fuck is Goguen???" and "I don't know, it was like reading a language I don't know" and panicking that I can't explain any of it in my own words let alone theirs.

Not the first one I ever read but certainly the toughest. I was 100% expecting to struggle since it's been 15+ years since I've read an academic paper for anything other than low stakes interest and my ADHD is LOADS worse than it used to be, but I didn't expect to struggle this hard this fast.

not useful to dwell upon, but it remains ASTOUNDING how many things are so fucked up and how many of our big institutions are entirely unwilling to do anything about it. we save each other, always and forever. find your neighbors who are doing the work and join ‘em, friends. the only way through.

I can't tell you what Shannon contributed to the definition of the word "information." All of a sudden there's a suspiciously math-looking equation where k is knowledge (I think) and we're multiplying it by s?? And there is a triangle before I which I think stands for information???? I'm cooked.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

It’s been interesting to see whose mind immediately went to Rocky Horror and whose mind immediately went to Muppets and whose mind immediately went to Clue and whose mind immediately went to SPAAAACE and on and on and on because no matter what age you are he’s iconic and very special to you

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Trans kids and trans adults have committed no crime. They're literally just people, living their lives, being who they are. Tormenting, harassing, oppressing, punishing trans people for their identity is the work of fascists. Othering any group to create a cultural enemy is Fascism 101.
