99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

I was a teenage vampire, now I’m a fitness goth. Both mentalities have me feeling youthful and vivacious. I wrote about my discovery of the fountain of youth through goth culture (featuring a fun goth club inspired home dance workout): artfullyexercising.substack.com/p/forever-yo... #FitnessSky

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.
