saying "the foundations of science are arabic in origin" doesn't actually help when his argument agrees with that and sees it as a relic of the past unfindable in the present, and i'm glad to see someone who does know more of the history and present of this type of thinking clarify things

My grocery store switched their turkey source and I’m pissed about it. We have tried the new store sliced turkeys and they suck. I think I have to go to the store and try and see which of the packaged sandwich turkeys looks like it tastes the least like ham to try and find a replacement :(

I’m also considering the deli sliced chicken but that comes from the same company/supplier as the ham-tasting turkey so I don’t know if that will just also taste like ham!

It's baffling to me that some of you are obsessed with strangers on the internet who are saying "this is not good enough" about someone's politics. If you are worried about a candidate's electoral chances and you think that matters, phone bank for them or something.

Trying to remember not everything is bad and I’m just having cognitive distortions. Gonna go sit at a desk by myself at work all day instead of cozy zone at home and I hate it. But if I didn’t do it today I’d have to do it tomorrow

Like I’m not particularly clued into either of the successes I’m aware of but whew it feels nice as a clueless spectator to be like “this seems. Good?”

And I’ve been spending so much time around people who are less covid cautious than me that I unthinkingly made someone more covid cautious uncomfortable in the way I was talking about my weekend activities :/

Feeling tightly wound and it would be good for me to be less so, so maybe I go to a cafe where I can sit down and chill and not be in the house? Once I put on real clothes 😆

I dunno though, I have also been feeling the walls closing in of outdoor seating disappearing for the winter and many holdouts near me are farmers market territory

And I would be able to help people if I got over myself but would I actually do anything or just coast along, you know? And I’m aware human worth is intrinsic but it’s hard to feel/recognize that about myself.

Small topic, but fanfiction reading (and probably posting but I don’t do that half) has gotten so much better than when I was young

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