whenever I'm sad I think about how my boyfriend thought "antipasta" was "every Italian food that's not pasta", implying a great intra-italian struggle between pasta and not pasta

Dogs aren’t even allowed to hang out with other dogs if they don’t have all their shots.

as someone who has, many times, returned to a site of emotional stagnation and/or complete devastation imagining that things would surely be different -- solidarity with the container ship

It trips me out that Americans are willing to pay taxes to send people to prison but not to send people to college or have health care.

One of my favorite scientific figures is this one of the entropy levels of 100 world cities by the orientation of streets. The cities with most ordered streets: Chicago, Miami, & Minneapolis. Most disordered: Charlotte, Sao Paulo, Rome & Singapore. Paper: appliednetsci.springeropen.com/articles/10.10…

The “bi” in “bisexual” no longer means “two” in exactly the same way that the “eu” in “eugenics” no longer means good. There. I fixed it. I fixed the discourse. You’re welcome.

seems like a good a day as any to post this again as a gentle reminder for everyone being too hard on themselves

I left tech sickened by the lack of accountability I then observed that academia, if anything, holds the powerful less accountable, backed by deep inequality + a code of silence enforced by archaic apprenticeship structures + a politics of personal loyalty masked as field making

The idea that a working vaccine is anyone's exclusive intellectual property is so utterly anti-life in the name of capitalism that my brain keeps searching for some other good reason for anyone to defend it than direct profit or fanatical devotion to the market.

Even if you are fully vaccinated, the CDC recommends against holding a meeting that could have been an email.

I find that a lot of anti-socialist sentiment boils down to a basic belief that people are lazy and won’t do good in the world or work hard unless they are suffering. I believe the opposite. I think most people would do amazing things if they weren’t in dire straits constantly.

The Democrats just spent $52 billion to subsidize COBRA for 1.3 million people until September. That’s $40k per person for less than 6 months of health insurance. Most countries spend about $5-6k per person per year for universal healthcare.
