Comrades, Great News! Our glorious struggle with Asiana has yielded a great victory! Now you shall only pay a third more for things than you did in January, instead of 145% more! For an entire 90 days! All hail our Beloved Leader, whose wisdom and fortitude has led us to this day! Airplanes to Him!

Every time I talk about privilege, someone with more than enough of it squirms uncomfortably.

Good! If you’re a squirmer, I hope you can lean into that feeling. Your discomfort is healthy. Pulling it closer to you and spending some time with it is the first real step towards understanding that your privilege limits how you experience the world.

Asking me to pipe down is letting your privilege do exactly what it wants to do by default, which is eliminate any perceived threat to it.

Now many billions will Trump, his family, and his partners collect on his official trip to the Middle East next week?

How many journalism organizations will try to aggregate the spoils of Trump world corruption so the public will fully understand the breadth and depth of the sleaze?

I can't begin to guess the answer to the first question, but the second one is easy: zero.

Hi all! I had an overwhelmingly awesome response to my #introduction post, thank you for the warm welcomes and for sharing your #blog s with me.

My journey is just beginning on Fediverse, still learning a lot of the ropes. Sorry I can't get back to everyone who responded!

There must be lots of #game rs and #stream ers here right?

I've been thinking of streaming my first playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 on #Twitch . Anyone still frequent streams these days?
