There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

This is inspiring in the way that kids running a lemonade stand to pay for their friend's chemotherapy is inspiring: the kids are amazing but they should never have to do this. if this inspires you at all, let it inspire you to create a real right to vote so they can just vote on campus.

Omg in terms of silly things I’d get a new wardrobe of things I enjoy not just want makes sense and was cheaper. For non frivolous: I’d commission or patron so many artists and fund so many musicians and dancers and artisans….

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

25 years ago, almost every plane that was over the North Atlantic when the second tower was hit was forced to land in Newfoundland. A call was on the radio: they needed folks who spoke various languages to come to the stadium to help organize the sea of humanity that just showed up at our door.

If you don’t want to read Dracula together by candlelight whilst sharing dark chocolate cheesecake and a vintage Cabernet Sauvignon in an ominous Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cool October night as wolves howl in the distance, then please don’t tell me you’re “open to trying new things."

We talk a lot about the importance of voting but in doing so, we romanticize it, and I've come to believe that's a mistake. It's not romantic, it's not glorious, it's not an expression of your ideals or your identity. It's selecting the best outcome for the most people. That's all it is. Do that.

At the end of the day, don't we all just want to read Edgar Allan Poe in a dimly-lit café on a cobblestone side street in Prague during a raging thunderstorm whilst enjoying cappuccinos and croissants?

Every time someone says "but how will we afford it?" I want to ask them how we are affording it now, and in many cases, the answer is that we aren't.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Years ago, I got a tip: look into the human remains collection at the AMNH. The museum held the remains of more than 12,000 individuals from around the world, but wouldn't identify them. I identified many of the remains and published this piece: hyperallergic.com/a-new-york-m...
