I do want to force catholic hospitals to perform abortions against their will, actually. If you can't offer full maternal care don't be a hospital. Fuck off.

Imagine being an undecided voter. I really think some of their brains need to be preserved for science or something, because what is going on there.

With the news about NaNoWriMo coming out as pro-AI theft, I wanted to share the words of game designer Aaron King, who gave me a really profound answer about what they think makes good writing. It makes me so grateful there's still people out there who give a shit about the work.

King- The first time, no, the second time I dropped out of college, I moved to a different town and I was working at an old timey confectionery and ice cream place. So four to five days a week, I would go in and put on black pants and a nice white shirt and an apron and a paper hat. And I would either be scooping ice cream or washing dishes or helping the owner's dad, an 80 year old man named Oscar make homemade chocolates and stuff. So we were on a main floor of a building. We had the ice cream shop, we had a coffee shop, and then we had a basement where we stored all this bulk candy that we ordered from people. And we had the place where Oscar would make these chocolate turtles: almonds, caramel, chocolate. And one day Oscar was like, ā€œHey, look at this.ā€ And he took me to the basement stairs and he pulled down this plywood slide that he had constructed on a hinge that would cover the right half of the stairs. And he took a big box that we just received and put it at the top of the s
And he was like, ā€œYeah, every day you try to improve a little bit. You try to make this place a little better.ā€

And I just like was almost crying because this man that could you know, not lift anything was so old, was still just like making these weird little changes around here and thinking of other people other than him. That's one of the things that I just carry forward in this process of making stuff is just likeā€¦ I will never be a Will Jobst. I will never be ā€œinsert name of my favorite writer here.ā€ But I'm driven to make these things. There's no reason for me not to make them. I might as well try to get a little better every single day. And sometimes that means reading and sometimes that means sitting down and doing some hard self assessment and figuring out where the weaknesses are. Or how to get better or how best to spend my time. Sometimes it's fun. Sometimes it's really hard. But I don'tā€¦ I'm not going to become fucking William Faulkner, you know? I'm not going to become Lo

The middlemen who provide no actual service and stand in between you and your doctor? The industry who profits by taking your money and denying you care? The industry that bankrupts sick people and lets 68k die each year? šŸ‘šŸ» Abolish private insurance šŸ‘šŸ» Pass Medicare for All

I really donā€™t think we can separate the whiteness and maleness of media from how willing major news organizations are willing to bend over backwards to normalize Trump. Itā€™s not just what heā€™s doing but who he speaks to and acts on behalf of when he does it.

It's funny, because we're told that capitalism breeds innovation*. But because of capitalism, we're waiting for some silver bullet product that will save the planet, instead of just mandating solutions that will work right now.

Modern conservative ideology is just being afraid of everything you don't understand, and understanding absolutely nothing.
