I often stand naked in front of a full-length mirror, studying myself to better come to terms with my imperfections. It’s not an easy thing to do though, and quite frankly I feel IKEA security could be a little more supportive.

Even though I’m on the Ann Arbor Mastodon server, I’m not actually in Ann Arbor or Ypsi often enough to catch David Zinn’s #streetart in person. So it was a treat to find this at St Joe’s Hospital.

Aging is not bad! It is a sign that you’re harder to for your enemies to kill! It’s proof that you’ve learned some stuff! Do not buy into our culture’s terror of death, or the capitalist obsession with the new. You earned every damn wrinkle and grey, dammit. Own ‘em with majesty.

As a customer, you are not legally obliged to arrange your affairs to maximize the dividends paid by to investors in your corporate landlord or by the merchants you patronize.

If Musk wanted to run DOGE as a force for waste-elimination, he wouldn't be attacking the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS (whose budget accounts for 0.012% of federal spending). He wouldn't be attacking federal fiber subsidies (he's mad that he can't get more subsidies for his dead-end satellite service that caps out at one ten-millionth of the speed of fiber).

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
