RE: Mark's post in the image: People who talk about creative endeavors like it's an efficiency problem do not get art.
I don't WANT to write a book in hours instead of years. I want to sit there and labor over every word and phrase. Over my characters' motivations and responses. That's the POINT.

I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

Oh hey, a reason to be hopeful: groves of American chestnut trees have once again become self-reproducing in the wild.
Turned off comments so 12 people don't show up to tell me why this is actually very sad. Be happy, you assholes.

Nearly a Century Ago, American Chestnut Trees Died Off. Now, Hikers Can Walk Among Them Again.
Efforts to restore the American chestnut comprise "one of the most epic conservation stories ever told.”

California to make and sell its own low cost insulin…a 5 pack will cost around $55
No one should have to ration meds
No one should fear financial ruin because they need meds
When Frederick Banting sold the patent for insulin, he made it $1
A Canadian, he said life saving meds were for everyone

Suspending Jimmy Kimmel over alleged Charlie Kirk comments, only for that suspension to immediately become the free speech crisis conservatives tried to spin Kirk’s death into, is maybe the most succinct demonstration of poetic irony that I have seen in a long while.

My sort of crank, not thought through theory is that as MBA brain has proliferated, management of businesses has gotten more and more divorced from the particulars of the businesses they’re managing, and CEOs’ jobs are “business” in the same way Ken’s job is “beach.”
Best explanation is upper management are MAGA true believers

If you mourn your own oppressor’s death, there is a lot of work you need to do to free yourself. Not mourning is not the same as celebrating although celebrating wouldn’t be inappropriate.

A landlord turned off Tenant Client's family's heat upon learning Client was an immigrant.
Landlord hired three different law firms to argue this was legal, then fired each one after they couldn't get our case dismissed.
This week, landlord settled for enough that Client will buy a house.

Tell me something that brought you joy this week.
Any old thing will do. Small joys are as good as big ones—sometimes even better.

The appendix is gone and I am free 🥳 couldn't convince my surgeon to take a pic holding it up like a fish though 😅
