"Hey AI helper that's been foisted on me by my Idiotphone: Please tell me the name of this very real thing." AI: Doesn't exist, you are wrong. "So I figured it out; this is what its name is." AI: You are absolutely right! Here is why I gave you alt information! Nobody was wrong! 2026 = Moronic.

The wax and wane of romantic love in a human heart is often difficult to bear. It is a needful thing, like hunger or thirst, and sometimes loses its voice (or even its soul) when sated. I have realized, in my advancing age, that all goodness and rightness in love is born of being a good friend. 💚

No one is perfect; the closest we can have to perfection in love is to find souls who will love us as friends first - seeking to improve our lives, to do no harm, and to remain present and connected in good times and bad. Without those seeds of intent, without strong roots, love can not endure.

“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.” — George Orwell, 1984

I just spent 20 minutes silently trying to ascertain whether a specific woman was for or against trans rights before realizing she was, in fact, trans. I simultaneously feel stupidly oblivious, and proud of myself for always letting people show me who they are before forming an opinion about them.

“Let them go a month without meals. Maybe they will get a job” First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. They’re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality. Second, many are disabled and children and can’t work. Third, no one should starve to death.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

I defy you, StupidWorld. I defy you for a great many reasons. Mainly, though, I defy you out of ceaseless vitriolic spite. The dumber things get, the more aggressively I will reject all of it. I will tear down mountains of stupidity, one dumb-as-rocks idiot at a time.

It is unfathomable to me that we’re all just supposed to be okay with higher energy costs and more air and light pollution, in exchange for a machine that steals personal data and copyrighted material and produces slop and wage theft, and big tech can do this to our society unilaterally.

When you’re chronically ill, your world can be quite small. People abandon you when you become disabled. When you can’t hide your pain. The isolation can be just as hard as the illness… but please know you’re not alone. None of us are ever alone. We are all fighters & this community has your back

Welcome to October, friends. I hope you find joy in the little moments this season brings. The first half of the 2020s have been pretty awful, but that's coming to a close. All things have their season. May Hate and Greed wither like fallen leaves, to nourish a new and better era.

If you see someone doing a good job, tell them. If you appreciate it, tell them. Everyone is fighting a battle you don't see. Ignoring their problems and making things happen anyway. Life is short. Be kind where you can. It makes a difference.

If you are anything like me, you always take yourself for granted and don't give yourself any appreciation for what you do. Stop that. Imposter syndrome is toxic. You can't be your best self while starved for positive reinforcement. Be a friend to yourself. Be kind. Be supportive. Be accepting.
