People say things like "I've destroyed my sleep schedule." But I am one step ahead of those people, because having a sleep schedule is required before you can destroy your sleep schedule.

My "this isn't complicated" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions that are already answered by my shirt.

Just read about the port strike attempt. Yeah, why not simply automate the ports? Bring in the robots.

yeah, many such cases. but there doesn't seem to be a clear solution. just... the inevitability of the void, consuming the souls of the damned. unfortunately this means innocents will also ... *gestures vaguely at the horror*

People often assume that states like Texas, North, or South Carolina are conservative. But they're not at all like people assume.

For example, I live in the Carolinas. And there's a lot of progressive culture. I mean, a dose of healthy liberalism isn't such a bad thing.

Yet sometimes, it's surprising. Like, there's a lot of sex work culture here. That's maybe the most ancient profession of all time, right?

But almost every time I hear from people who are involved in it, it's genuinely horrifying.

It seems like every story goes, "I got into sex work. Then I started using drugs. Then one day I got pregnant. Then I kept doing drugs while I was pregnant. Then I learned my child and I both have [HIV/hepatitis/preventable disease] and my child now has [lifelong condition related to drugs or disease]."

And this is just a super unfortunate and heart breaking set of affairs. Unfortunately it's a super common pattern in the city I currently reside in.

Maybe it's not like this everywhere. But I sort of can't help but view it as an indictment on certain overlapping cultures.

I believe there are often very significant costs associated with being honest and open in the present moment.
