Therapist: What do you need right now.
Me: A nap, a snack, a hug, $50k, a time machine, a vacation, a personal chef who only makes tacos, and maybe a dragon.
Therapist: Sure, let's just add world peace and a unicorn while we're at it.

Here's a draft I made! My 7 year old helped my with some suggestions of things she likes to do at the library. And I made a custom one for myself of things I want to do next year at the library.

As always, there's no time like the present to wear a crown of ancient bones, disappear into a mysterious fog, and become a reason the old forest north of town is considered haunted.

I want to be surrounded by talking owls, forgetful wizards, enchanted swords that sing off-key, and tea brewing witches, studying ancient texts in the shadows.

I don’t understand why people ask you a question if they don’t want an honest answer. I was asked by someone what I would like for Christmas, but apparently a secluded castle on the Scottish coast “isn’t realistic.”

Just discovered an insane new form of co-intelligence where you briefly share the mind of a great thinker in history and then a portion of their mind travels in yours for the rest of your life. Calling it a "book."

These things would improve this country dramatically and billionaires wouldn't even notice.
Universal single payer + ubi are the two greatest small business growth policies I can think of. Also, the most powerful way to reduce poverty. Also the most effective way to increase worker power. Also the best way to reduce wealth inequality. Why wouldn't everyone want it?
“It makes it harder to go start your own business”
Ex insurance company exec @wendellpotter.bsky.social tells us how 🇺🇸 not having universal health care hurts smaller employers (can’t offer benefits and compete) + workers (who get “job locked” into jobs they don’t want). #MedicareForAllNOW

"But how do we pay for it?" That never applies to this kind of spending. It only ever applies to stuff like universal basic income and healthcare.
As Trump drags us into an Iraq-style war in Venezuela, 312 members of the House — including 115 Democrats — just voted to authorize over $900 billion in military spending.

If Bernie's Social Security bill were enacted in 2021, Musk would have paid 2.9 BILLION more in taxes, Social Security would've been solvent for 75 years, benefits would've increased by $2,400, and 93% of Americans would have paid NOTHING more in taxes. The only one 'entitled' is Elon Musk.

omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

These churches are vehemently anti-gay and will kick out or punish LGBT members. Actual pedos who claim to be straight or celibate? They are protected.
The Albany, Oregon, Assembly of God church made the news. An in-depth article of sex abuse of boys in the Royal Rangers program and how the churches and denomination have ignored the abuse for decades and worked to reduce legal liability. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Dozens of boys say they were sexually abused in a Christian scouting program
Boys in the Assemblies of God join the Royal Rangers for Bible study and backpacking. But the ministry has also drawn sexual predators, an NBC News investigation found.
