Life goal

Opt out. Unsubscribe. Boycott. Grow your own food. Live in a tiny house or have several roommates. Buy locally. Use cash. Buy pre-owned. Borrow. Lend. Repair. Be ok with having less. Shut this shit show down. These are radical acts of resistance.

Long known as a route that many bicyclists will go out of their way to avoid, El Camino Real is getting a major upgrade, with dedicated bike lanes being installed throughout the Mountain View, Los Altos and Palo Alto portions of the roadway. ✍️ Zoe Morgan, @mv-voice.com

I often see multiple "#1 Fan!" merchandise for the same team. All but one of them are liars.

Happy to be a nillionaire.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

This poem by Langston Hughes.

The game of life is silmilar to Scrabble—we make our plays alone, but we can choose to celebrate how others put their words on the board. We can lament our scores and losses, or we can celebrate the finished poem of strange words we made together. Winning is dumb, but it feels good too.
