This is the worst year I've had for rejections in the past 9 years. Its probably mostly cause I'm: A) applying for more things than usual B) applying for different kinds of opportunities than I have before Even so, its kinda depressing to look at my spreadsheet and see the stats

I think we're at the point where we can incredibly comfortably say that your attitude towards Reform, Restore, MAGA, the AfD etc is how you'd have responded to fascism in the 1930s

I didn't make goal for rent and now have a late fee on top of what's left, my power bill which I pay 100% of is so high I'm worried they're going to shut it off, and my mental health has been spiraling so badly lately that I'm scared I'll be instituionalized. Scared. ko-fi.com/kivabay/goal...

All this talk about men’s mental health and clearly there’s no concern about giving tacit or explicit approval to race riots and masked racist protestors are doing to MY mental health. But our wellbeing doesn’t matter when there’s fascism to whitewash

I had not clocked until now that they really are sending out “Sir Rich Barrons” to tell the public they have too much and they need to sacrifice, so we can impress the Donald by giving that money to Raytheon instead

Well dang, this is a cool read about urban forests!

Why a decades-old forest planting practice from Japan is gaining traction in the U.S.
Communities across the U.S. are turning small plots of land into highly dense forests that grow quickly. Turns out these forests have roots to a decades-old planting method that originated in Japan.

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

I get really annoyed by the way people use the terms "mental illness" and "mental health" interchangeably, but then I see someone say "this is a really difficult time for people suffering from mental health" and I laugh, because yeah, imagine not being able to dissociate as a little treat right now

Over 1,200 people have been killed in Iran since Israel and the US launched its illegal attacks. Leaders may frame strikes as "defensive", but human beings will grieve all the same. Starmer is dragging Britain into a catastrophic war. It is other people who will pay the price.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
