universities are just tax shelters for the rich. $2 billion to build a campus in a city that's likely to be underwater in a few decades meanwhile cmu gets to keep dodging taxes in a city that's underwater financially already.

This is what happens to me
A diagram showing how a process moves from “great new idea” to “start new project” and on to “tell everyone” and then the process skips “finish project” and jumps right back to starting again with another “great new idea” and repeats the process; so every project remains unfinished because the process skips finishing the project in favor of just starting a new project every single time. No project is every finished

I'm procrastinating making the hot sauces bc they're so much work😭 this is the second bag of chopped serrano to make it into the freezer this year, anything else that comes off my (only one but extremely prolific) plant this year is going to neighbors/distro/friends
freezer quart bag of sliced serrano next to a half full gallon bag of halved perfume peppers. there's also a plastic container holding another couple dozen whole serrano that didn't make it into the freezer bag

the attitudes towards homelessness that this reporter found are very common, across the political spectrum the unhoused are the one group it's still politically correct to despise, and people will say these things out loud with their entire chests, as I've witnessed at recent community meetings

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

So much breaks, wears down, fails in us. We must forgive our broken promises— their sharp shards in our hands. #SaturdayPoem
Ne’ilah
Marge Piercy 

The hinge of the year
the great gates opening
and then slowly slowly
closing on us.
I always imagine those gates
hanging over the ocean
fiery over the stone grey
waters of evening.
We cast what we must
change about ourselves
onto the waters flowing
to the sea. The sins,
errors, bad habits, whatever
you call them, dissolve.
When I was little I cried
out I! I! I! I want, I want.
Older, I feel less important,
a worker bee in the hive
of history, miles of hard
labor to make my sweetness.
The gates are closing
The light is failing
I kneel before what I love
imploring that it may live.
So much breaks, wears
down, fails in us. We must
forgive our broken promises—
their sharp shards in our hands.

The disconnect between the average cis centrist and what being trans is like is that if you're a trans woman, it's pretty much impossible to get hired by a normal job right now. Like if it's a bad economy for cis people, it's impossible for us so we're all in very precarious positions. Cont.

This is (a) easy (b) the principled position and (c) also the pure strategy play. Nobody switches their vote R->D because a Dem dipped their toe in the cesspool of transphobia. But it can contribute towards sporadic lean-D voters not bothering to vote, and no amount of lecturing will prevent that.
