when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the "Metaverse" has lost his company more than $77 billion.

there is only one political party in the US that constantly says that their own voters are weird and unreasonable
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

A Florida bear hunt is a sad and pathetic thing. It's a blight on the wildlife commission that approved it and lied about bear populations in the state, which are on the decline due to massive and unwise clearcutting for development. DeSantis and the Repubs in charge are sacks of shit.
#Florida's first bear hunt in 10 years starts today (despite science saying no hunt should take place). These people won permits to hunt -- but say they won't use them. www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...

I have fully driven into a ditch in between prepping for shows and being sick. I’m weeks behind where I should be.
But I did write a few pages of a sequel to The Dreaming Dead!

I can’t believe I’ve been sick almost two weeks because someone came into work very obviously sick at a job where we can work from home when we’re not feeling well.

Timely and transcendent. I've had a marvelous time recently with ECO24, collecting some of the finest ecofiction of the last year. A chance to reflect on the anxieties of a changing world, and to consider possibilities for transformation and alternative paths. A critical collection for our time!!

Feels deeply strange to wake up in a world where a large amount of people don’t care about politics in any substantial way.
Like, I’m a complete misanthrope. I dislike almost everyone I meet.
But…I still want people to have rights and healthcare and breathable air.
How is the bar so low
