🍸 a person familiar with the matter

mining my lousy childhood for art 

I have more life behind me than ahead of me. It is time to come to terms.

The vim I know now is all the vim I'll ever know.

@schwa The environmental and labor concerns are real. And sometimes it feels like "think of the children" for the left

@wendynather You gotta hand it them, at least they were dogfooding

Your newsletter is now in my inbox. Now what?

@schwa how much more do they want, and what are they taking away?

It just came to me:

I was raised by neurodivergent parents who masked all day until they got home and they could be themselves

As the man said, on the making of sense of your parents, there is no end

grmph, I am in a prickly mood this morning

@KatS the est folks (80s edition) used to call the meme thing "changing the listening of the world"

maybe the seed something in the link between power and the sexual abuse of children

internalizing that power for its own sake not only implies inflicting pain on the weakest, but actually requires it, might be a direction

not "absolute power corrupts absolutely" but more "power seekers are by definition child rapists"

I wish there were still landlines just so I could say, "If Isaac Chotiner calls, say that I'm not in and not expected back."
