Avatar is me on a backpacking trip in the Cascades. Background is woods near me.

AnnoyedShocked at how uneducated so many Americans are, to believe the BS the Right is spewing. But, I grew up in that environment so I can’t be too surprised.
LiberalI believe society has a moral responsibility to support ALL of us, regardless of the color of our skin, the language we speak, whether we worship a god or not, who we love and how we identify ourselves. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege.
PragmatistForward progress matters most of all. Sometimes it’s slow, sideways or even a step back. The goal is what matters. Perfect is often the enemy of a good start.
MusicIn no order: Ambient, Techno, Alternative (whatever that means), New Wave, Jazz, Neo Classical (see Alternative), KEXP.org, other stuff, NOT Country
Just found this on Reddit. This is the info we currently need at #39c3, I guess.

Happy holidays Fedi! 💖

May everything you have, and how far you've come, be eternally worth celebrating 💞

I love you all—you bring so much joy to my life.

I'm truly grateful for each and every one of you 💝

Thank you.

Thank you.

...I'm not crying, you're crying.

We have each other. We're strong together. Never ever forget that. Never ever give up. Warmest wishes for the best holiday you can have. It's not always easy, but find joy. Love always, Laffy
I hear that the staff of CBS have been conducting a series of rituals in the news room at midnight to reanimate Andy Rooney's corpse to chase down and eat Bari Weiss.
All I want for Christmas is for everyone to be okay. 😮‍💨
Who wants to dress up like a ghost and go around with me scaring the shit out of old rich dudes tonight?
I’ve been gifted this handy reference. Honestly a bit surprised by how much stuff is lickable.

I feel like next week we’re going to hear that 60 Minutes did a report on the Streisand Effect, but Weiss killed it at the latest minute.
