The Supreme Court has long claimed the sole authority to interpret the Constitution (which, ironically, is not in the constitution).

The Roberts Court has so delegitimized the institution that we can’t give future courts the power to decide what the our government can do.

In response to a cult of abuse operating within a culture of abuse, I wrote a taxonomy of abuse: what it is, how it works, and what we can learn about our part in stopping it.

Cult(ure) of Abuse
How do we deal with a culture of abuse? What is our part in ending it? How do we deal with an abusive cult of millions?

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

Most public libraries are culling their physical media because it doesn’t circulate. If you want libraries to hold something, you need to check it out. Public libraries can’t just be warehouses for physical media you might want someday. Use it or lose it.
When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

I really really hate how normalized life-with-no-privacy has become. Corporations, governments, random internet creeps... everyone has access to every single moment of your existence now and it's ridiculous.

biggest difference between usual (esp. older) democratic party and why they were so afraid of mamdani is because he sees the people as his boss, not the other way around, believes they know better than he can as one person, sees his job as helping people govern themselves, not for him to govern them
