Alternatively 8 months of 5 weeks of 9 days with 5 days spread between them. 3 days off each week. Each month begins on a solstice, equinox, or halfway between them.

We can go as crazy as we’d like

If the private sector can’t do this then we must demand the public sector do it. I’m sick and tired of money ghouls deciding that things improving is financially unacceptable

It should be noted that on the immigration issue he’s flagrantly violating constitutional rights and yet it’s where he’s doing best

If language isn’t an issue I could probably work as an engineer in ancient Egypt or a math teacher in ancient Greece

Ooh I’ll have to check it out

Jesus fucking shit that’s infuriating.

Yepppp

Yeah that may be a sign of trauma. It’s a symptom I have

“All professional decisions I make come down to a simple question: what would Marx do”

D for sure

The means are an attempt at my belief in rehabilitation and forgiveness when possible. Her past conduct is reprehensible, and also I don’t believe we should be saying that it’s not worth bothering trying to change.

I’m unlikely to ever like her, but fucking hell I’m sick and tired of this pervasive idea that people can never change for the better and even if they do they’re still evil. It’s carceral bullshit.

She hasn’t demonstrated change yet, just announced her intentions, whether true or not. It’s worth keeping an eye out and seeing if she actually does change. I’m never going to forget who she has been for the past several years, but just as I believe a murderer should be given the opportunity to become a better person I’ll give her the room to do the same or not. It’s not like I have any power over her whatsoever.

There’s such a thing as a request that’s rude to make and this feels like it really qualifies

Oh cool, computer parts are about to get cheap

Yeah, if they were to offer broad programs of welcoming queer refugees from places like Iraq, Russia, and Uganda it would seriously endear me to them. Like, it would make me vocally pro China at least on this one issue.

When in actuality we’re intertwined with each other. If China were to become a bastion of queer liberation they’d likely get international vocal support from the queer community. Trans people are a lot more likely to be pro Thailand than the average westerner for this reason.

Are they just terrified of eminent domain or is there a problem with the ground or something? Like the government can just buy the land they need. Yes it’ll piss people off but most people will be much happier.

You mean the generation that grew up in the wake of WW1 then went from hobo to doing hard labor in government construction work to fighting in one of the bloodiest wars in history had a substance abuse problem? Yeah a lot of them tried to drink the trauma away.

It is the best dirt cheap bourbon. I drink better stuff these days but I still have fond memories of it
