So yes, I'm going to keep talking about a wholesome revolution.

Not as an alternative, but as a complement to all you warriors out there.

We got your back. 💞🌈💪

how I'm trynna look:

"If two men in a world of more than 7 billion people can provide €300million to restore Notre Dame, within six hours, then there is enough money in the world to feed every mouth, shelter every family and educate every child. The failure to do so is a matter of will, and a matter of system."

I'll be boycotting Mighty Good, which is honestly pretty easy because Roos is better.

Waterloo Bridge, Parliament Square, Marble Arch, Oxford Street, Piccadilly Circus occupied and closed to traffic

Feels like something

Correcting Disparities:

"I live on the border of two states with extremely different minimum wage laws. I worked for a company that moved over the border from the state with the higher (though still not sufficient) minimum wage to the other state. We were able to keep our jobs but we had to take a pay cut. Meanwhile, the boss bought a new house in California and kept her house here as well.

During the process of the move, I happened to find a Post-It note with the admin credentials to the payroll system. Every week for the few months I stayed on after the move, I gave myself and my co-workers a few extra hours of pay to make up for the money they were trying to save.

Nothing happened to me. And it felt like a good deed."

“They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?"

"Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat."

"I thought you just told me they used radio."

"They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat."

I'm working on an image uploader today and this is my test image of choice for reasons.

@hypomodern ha! of course! Imagine how differently the roll out would have been if they didn't have money to burn. Not a chance these things would have shipped with wheels that size or more secure batteries...VC math makes me mad.

@twbrandt @csalzman I also Konmari'd our book collection 3 years ago before our move. we are down to a very small half bookshelf of adult books, and I love it. I rarely reread a book and AADL is so fantastic I feel no need to own any but my absolute faves.
