turning 30 feels less scary because of the cliche “getting old” thing and more that the choices i’ve made are calcifying into a life that i can’t escape.

seems like the easier solution is to give everyone free healthcare and pay for it by like buying 17 less missiles or taxing 53 dudes 1.8 percent more

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

love being in an industry like academia where you have to juggle learning an entirely new job in an entirely new place while applying for new jobs across the country that will start 10 months from now because you’re not sure if your contract will be renewed next year.
