I literally hate every job in the world. I don’t want them. I don’t want ANY of them!
Same energy as that time in college I told a girl that “the tarot” says she needs to go call her mom and start going to therapy and she fucking did.
absolutely a granny weatherwax moment. “you need to move the outhouse because its presence is bothering the forest spirits and they’re cursing you” because trying to explain about bacteria from the outhouse contaminating the well wasn’t working.
Sometimes you gotta ask yourself ‘Do I want to be right or do I want results?’ and then act accordingly.
I mean, we knew, but it's nice to hear so succinctly
Highlighting the line that hit me hardest: "The Greatest Generation did their best to psychologically prepare their kids for a world that could fall apart at any second and then they built a world that wouldn't."
it’s wild how tech literacy lasted like one generation barely before it fell off
The tech industry saw to it. In a drive to both expand their market by making it easier to pick up tech without knowing how it works, and in an effort to lock down controllable walled gardens and ecosystems they could fully control and exploit, tech has continuously and systemically destroyed both the need for tech literacy and the avenues for developing it independently.
You are not supposed to know how your devices work. You are not supposed to modify them without paying a service fee, you are not supposed to add functionality to them unless they sell it to you, and you are DEFINITELY not supposed to repair or reuse them when they could make you replace them at full price.
Tech literacy didn't die, it was slowly strangled out of people.
I had an IT elective in High School. We learned how to code in HTML and Visual Basic. We built a network from scratch.
We learned how to Defrag a disc drive, how to run a command prompt, and excel formulas and formatting storage (I think this was when USBs were coming out but it might have still been floppies.)
Kids these days (And I use this to extend to university age folks) don't get taught any of that.
I had TYPING LESSONS.
ideal living situation is what i call the 'sitcom special' : having all your closest friends live in the same apartment building or neighborhood where you each have your own space but can wander in and out of eachothers homes at will, seemingly always welcome and never at bad times. and also all of you only have jobs when its important to the plot.
in bangkok my mom met a newlywed couple who were on their honeymoon with a third person, their gay best friend that they both like so much they took him along
Oh yeah, a few days after I first saw this post I got this recommended post on Facebook lmao
Tesla is tanking so hard it is dragging the entire EV segment's sales down into the negative. When you omit Tesla from the equation, EV sales are up 13% across the board.
Don't let anyone tell you EV sales are in a slump.
I think my recent and ongoing obsession with Leverage is helping me shift to the perspective that I don't especially care that what Trump and Musk are doing is illegal and unconstitutional (which it is), I care that it is cruel and causing excessive suffering for millions of people, or even dozens of people. I'm glad that people like Tish James and my college friend who works for her are fighting the good legal fight, but the law does not really seem to matter to the people grabbing power so why should it matter to me?
Also I just finally read The Dispossessed and the basics of anarchism are bubbling in my brain.
No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook. I will not be posting on Meta platforms for the next 24 hours in support of the economic blackout.
To paraphrase Futurama: "A rich CEO isn't myself
So why should I care about it?"
For no reason here is a library story
There will be millions of actions like this over the coming years. An important thing to remember is that for them to work (anywhere, not just libraries) is people absolutely can’t announce that this is what they are doing.
Not seeing constant acts of resistance doesn’t mean it isn’t happening all around you all the time. Some very effective methods require silence and secrecy.
Something to keep in mind.
