This is so true. I don’t hear enough people saying it. The people with the most power, mostly tech titans, are all the worst people with the least value to society. We need to change the way our society is organized so we can all live better lives without their petty interference

RIP Ozzy Osbourne. My favorite things he’s done are Black Sabbath’s first two albums and the awesome song Crazy Train. War Pigs is more relevant than ever #metal #ozzy #rip #music

I’ve decided to stop saying I’m fine when people ask me how I am. I’m not fine! This country is currently under attack by fascists in the federal government. But I feel frozen by social norms not to talk about it. That ends today. Tomorrow is Independence Day. I’m freeing myself from conformity

Living under this dark cloud of Trumpism has really put a damper on every part of my life. I didnt realize that until now. It was a subtle thing I didn’t even notice but it’s… like a dark filter over everything
